Energy Efficiency
Your HVAC system needs to have the correct air pressure in order to optimize airflow. There’s a chance that your air filter is getting clogged and allowing dust and dirt to pass through and spread throughout your HVAC system. It doesn’t happen overnight, but dust can build up faster than you realize.
When these particles reach your ductwork, they can settle in between heating and cooling cycles. More dust continues to blow in with each cycle, all while the existing dust stirs up and mixes with the air blowing into your home. Dust particles may be tiny, but they can negatively affect airflow inside of your ductwork.
This can lead to less conditioned air reaching the walls of your home as the air gets trapped inside the network of ducts. Your home won’t reach your desired temperature and the system will continue running. In fact, your HVAC unit then has to work harder to heat or cool your home, using more energy to produce the same results. You’ll see the impact reflected on your monthly energy bills as they get more expensive.
Duct Cleaning and More
If your ducts are particularly dirty, we don’t just want to wipe them out and move on. And when dust and dirt get into your ductwork and cause problems, it’s an indicator that something bigger is wrong. We want to get to the root of the problem so you won’t have to worry about dust and dirt again in the future.
We do this in two ways. First, we wipe down the rest of your HVAC system, paying special attention to the crevices in between gears where dust can affect how well your HVAC system operates. Then we get to the root of the problem. If you need to use a different type of air filter, we can make a recommendation. If you need to change the filter more frequently, we can talk to you about that, too.
Our goal is to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again in the future. We want your HVAC system to last as long as possible, and air duct cleaning is a way to invest in the system’s longevity.
