A ductwork system is designed to distribute airflow from your HVAC equipment to your entire home or commercial building. This process happens when your Heating/Cooling system inhales the air from your living space, through an intake vent usually located in the slot where the filter is placed, into the air conditioner/heater where it gets cooled or heated and then pushed back via the ducts into your living space.

Why Should Ductwork Be Kept Clean

The quality of air in your home or commercial building is essential. Keeping pollen, dust, pet dander or other types of irritants and toxins from the air you breathe in, encompasses more than simply changing your equipment’s air filter. Did you know that contaminants can also collect in your Air-Duct system and regular cleaning is required? Cleaning the air ducts is a vital part of ensuring that your family is breathing healthy air when they are home. So why should you clean your ducts? Listed below are some reasons:

• Presence of mold – mold is hazardous to your family’s health. It can aggravate or cause health problems like asthma and allergies. An odor that seems like dirty socks can indicate the presence of mold somewhere in your HVAC system.
• Clogging of the ducts – dust and other particles can clog your ducts, causing your HVAC equipment to work less effectively. This can also cause health issues.
• You may be losing efficiency – if you have clogged or damaged air ducts, your unit will be forced to work harder to keep up the required temperatures in your home. Airleaks could also occur which can lead to an inefficient unit and high utility bills.
