Spring Cleaning? Consider Air Duct Cleaning for your HVAC System

As a homeowner in Woodbridge VA, you might be starting your spring cleaning to-do list for projects around the house. When preparing your spring cleaning activities list, do not forget to consider air duct cleaning for your HVAC system. Duct cleaning offers many health benefits as well as advantages to the heating and air conditioning equipment. Our heating and cooling service technicians explain these benefits and provide you with the information you need to know about how it works and scheduling any needed service with our technicians at Brennan’s Heating and Air Conditioning.

How Air Duct Cleaning Works

During the duct cleaning process, a large vacuum is connected to the ductwork of your home. We power the vacuum from our service vehicle. The powerful brushes clean all of the ducts and openings. We can also disinfect the ducts, replace air filters and clean the system’s coils. The duct cleaning process takes from two to four hours, depending on the number and location of the ducts and air vents throughout the home.

Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning

In homes where someone suffers from allergies, asthma or other respiratory conditions, air duct cleaning can reduce the amount of particles that trigger symptoms. People with respiratory concerns might find it easier to breathe as there are fewer particulates such as dust floating through the air. When the next utility bill arrives, you might be pleased to see that it decreases as there are fewer obstructions to get in the way of the heated or cooled air as it flows from the HVAC system into the rooms of the home.

Scheduling Cleaning of Air Ducts

Most homes should schedule cleaning of the air ducts on an as-needed basis or around every three to five years. In homes where people have severe allergies or asthma, where there are furry pets or a smoker, homeowners might consider a slightly more frequent schedule of cleaning the ducts. The HVAC system will need to be shut down during the cleaning process, which takes several hours to complete. We will work around your schedule to find a convenient time for you.
