Air ducts aren’t a particularly glamorous part of your home, but they do carry the heated and cooled air that helps to keep your family comfortable. Most homeowners are unaware that the air inside your home can be almost five times dirtier than the air outside, and the air ducts are one of the places that this dirt accumulates. Air duct replacement can make a noticeable difference in the quality of your indoor air. If you experience dirty air, dusty air, or have had rodents in your crawl space or attic, it’s possible that duct replacement and resealing could greatly improve your air quality.
Possible Contaminants in Your Air
What could be floating around in your indoor air, you ask? Dirt and dust are two of the main culprits, but it doesn’t end there. Virtually anything that is small enough to be blown through the ductwork can end up in the air and in your family’s lungs. This includes chemical residues from old paint, insulation or another source. When the particles are small enough, you won’t notice breathing them in, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Give our team a call to get professional air duct cleaning in Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma for your home.
Risks of DIY Duct Cleaning
Many homeowners want to break out the high-powered vacuum or air compressor to clear out the air ducts, but that doesn’t always end favorably. Sometimes, there is moisture in the ductwork and you just end up blowing mold spores out into the air. Professional duct cleaners have the equipment, the technology, and the expertise to ensure they are cleaning the ducts without making the situation worse. Since it is a job that only needs to be completed once every few years, having it done properly will give you peace of mind and may help members of your family feel better.
Health and Financial Benefits
Once you’ve had a thorough, professional air duct cleaning in Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma, your heating and cooling systems will run more efficiently and that dust, dirt and who knows what else won’t be in the air for your family members to breathe in. Your energy bills will be lower and your family will be healthier, which is all you can really ask for with any air quality service. During air duct cleaning, the technician can also check for any holes or breaks in the ductwork that could be reducing the AC or furnace efficiency.
