In Florida, having a good air conditioner is almost necessary, between the heat and the humidity nearly all year around. All of the air flowing into the living room and any other room in your house has to travel through air ducts before it reaches and area in your home. Over time, contaminants can be picked up and carried throughout your home. Here are some of the more common indoor air contaminants that can live in your duct-work:
- Bacteria
- Mold
- Fungi
- Dust and dust mites
- Pet dander
- Pollen
Remodeling projects can lead to a buildup of gunk inside your duct-work that threatens the efficient functioning of your system. Though there isn’t proof that dirty duct-work increases dust levels inside homes, it is recommended that you get a duct cleaning for visible mold, clogs of dust, rodent droppings, insects, or noticeable particles blowing out of the vents. A few reasons why getting your air ducts clean can include the following benefits:
- Cleaning removes accumulated dust so it won’t spread into your home
- Removing debris and cobwebs eases airflow and increases the efficiency of the system, in extreme cases as much as 40%.
- If you have fiberglass ducting, cleaning is recommended; fiberglass gathers more dust than sheet metal.
If proper duct cleaning procedures are not followed, duct cleaning can cause more dust, debris, and molds to be released into the air; this makes it important to call a professional to do the job correctly and efficiently the first time around.
