A common reaction people have to seeing this service is to wonder if it\u2019s useful at all.<\/p>\n<p>We understand why homeowners may be skeptical. For one thing, ducts are out of sight\u2014and that often means they\u2019re out of mind. People rarely give much thought to what\u2019s inside their ducts. There are also a number of non-professionals who offer duct cleaning at suspiciously low costs. \u201cSuspiciously\u201d is right: these aren\u2019t real duct cleaning, only a quick vacuum job that doesn\u2019t do much good.<\/p>\n<p>Thorough duct cleaning from professionals using the finest equipment can provide a home with many benefits. Here are some of the ways regular duct cleaning (done every 3 to 5 years) with our pros is beneficial:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Energy savings: <\/strong>A large amount of dust and debris can build up inside the ducts of a home over only a few years. Even a thin layer of dust creates some amount of resistance to air flow from the blower fan. As the accumulation builds up the resistance becomes severe enough that it will cut down on the energy efficiency of the HVAC system, elevating heating and cooling bills around the year. Regular duct cleaning helps keep bills from rising past what they should be.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthier HVAC system:<\/strong> Excessive dust and debris caught inside the ventilation system can end up getting inside the HVAC cabinet, where it will damage motor parts and even electrical components. You can anticipate a longer service life from your HVAC system when the ducts are cleaned out on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better indoor air quality:<\/strong> Think of the ducts as like a large repository of all the dust, lint, and dander circulating through your house. The average six-person home circulates 40 lbs. of dust through the HVAC system per year. Each time an HVAC blower fan comes on, a large amount of this dust in the ventilation system gets blown into the living spaces, lowering the air quality. Cleaning out the ducts helps improve air quality for your household\u2014which is especially helpful for people with allergies and asthma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaner home:<\/strong> This is connected to the improved indoor air quality. Your home won\u2019t have layers of dust everywhere and on everything when the biggest source of dust in the house is cleaned out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We must emphasize how important it is to <em>only<\/em> hire HVAC professionals with specialized equipment to do the job of residential duct cleaning. This isn\u2019t something a long-hosed vacuum can take care of! When you trust to the experts at Comfort Flow, you\u2019ll have a thorough job done and enjoy a few years of an HVAC system working at its best.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unsure if your home is due for duct cleaning, we\u2019re glad to help.
