When is the best time to get my air ducts cleaned?
- If you detect visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other unit of your heating and cooling system. Mold detection can be understood with a few important observations:
- Many sections of your heating and cooling system may not be visible to inspection, so ask our team member to show you any mold that may exists.
- You should be aware that although a substance may look like mold, a laboratory analysis would be needed to determine whether it is mold or not.
- If your insulation gets wet or moldy, it cannot be properly cleaned and should be replaced.
- The conditions causing the mold growth will be needed to be corrected or else mold growth will reoccur.
- Ducts maybe infested with vermin, e.g. (rats or roaches).
- If ducts are clogged with excessive dust and debris, particles will actually be released into the home from your air vents.
If any of these conditions exists, it usually suggests underlying causes. Prior to any cleaning, retrofitting, or replacing of your ducts, the cause or causes must be dealt with or else the problem will recur.
Research suggests that cleaning your Air Ducts may improve the efficiency of your system, resulting in a longer operating life, as well as some energy and maintenance cost savings.
You may consider having your air ducts cleaned because it seems logical that air ducts will get dirty over time and should be occasionally cleaned. Once your air duct cleaning is done properly, no evidence suggests that such cleaning would be detrimental.
Our Air duct cleaning service apply chemical biocide to the inside of your ducts as a means to kill bacteria (germs) and fungi (mold) and prevent future biological growth. We will apply sealant to prevent any future biological growth, also to prevent dust and dirt particles from being released into the air or to seal or leaks.
