Baggett provides answers about duct cleaning, its benefits, and the reasons why it may or may not be the solution you need.
Why do I need my ducts cleaned?
At Baggett, as trusted heat and air experts, we know your ducts could benefit from being cleaned, that’s very likely. However, we understand that there are likely errors in your duct system that are causing them to be dirty.
These errors can:
- contribute to the accumulation of dust, pollen, and other contaminants
- decrease the comfort in your home
- put unnecessary stress on your HVAC unit
- lead to increased utility costs
- cause premature equipment failures
- decrease the lifespan of your unit
By addressing these errors in your duct system, we not only improve indoor air quality but also optimize the performance of your HVAC system. This results in lower utility bills, extended equipment lifespan, and greater peace of mind for you and your family.
Examples of dirty blower wheels. If your blower is dirty, this is the same air going through the ducts!
How often should my ducts be cleaned?
According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), the frequency of cleaning your residential HVAC system depends on several factors, not the least of which is the preference of the homeowner.
Some of the things that may lead a homeowner to consider more frequent cleaning include:
- Smokers in the household
- Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander
- Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system
- Residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants in the home’s HVAC system
- After home renovations or remodeling
- Prior to occupancy of a new home or a “new to you” home.
