IAQ Issue? Consider Scheduling an Air Duct Cleaning

Healthy indoor air quality in your Woodbridge, Virginia, home helps your family breathe easier by limiting your exposure to pollutants. There are many things that can worsen your indoor air quality, including dirty ductwork. Read on to learn more about air duct cleaning and the many benefits it offers.

What is Duct Cleaning?

During an air duct cleaning, your HVAC specialist will inspect ductwork for dirt, debris, cracks and leaks. They will then use a high-powered air system to flush out all of the dust, dirt, dander and allergens. Afterward, they will clean the debris that has formed around the supply vents.

Benefits of Duct Cleaning

There are many ways in which your home’s HVAC system will benefit from a duct cleaning. The most important benefit is that it’ll prevent dirt and allergens from collecting in the ductwork. As a result, they won’t have the chance to circulate in your home’s air and impact your health.

Your HVAC system contains a filter that traps common allergens, such as dirt and pet dander. But even the most highly rated filters don’t catch all of the debris, which will recirculate through your system and settle in your ductwork. By removing this buildup, you’ll breathe easier at home.

In addition to improving your home’s indoor air quality, a duct cleaning can improve your home’s airflow. With air flowing more freely throughout your home, your system won’t have to work. By making sure your HVAC system operates efficiently, you’ll prevent high monthly energy bills.

A final benefit of cleaner air ducts is an overall cleaner HVAC system. Debris that get trapped in the ducts can get into the other parts of your HVAC system, causing it to clog and malfunction. Air duct cleaning helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
