Sensing Dust in the House? You Need an Air Duct Cleaning

An important part of your heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, system is the ductwork. You rely on the ducts to transfer air efficiently to every part of your home.

Small problems with the air ducts can become major headaches. We can help if there are issues. You should know five signs that your air ducts need professional cleaning or repairs.

Rising Energy Bills

One major sign that your air ducts need cleaning or repair is rising energy bills. If your ducts are damaged, then air is going to be escaping and not reaching the rooms in your home.

If they are dirty, then the air might not make it into every room. The result is that you will have to run the HVAC system more to keep your home comfortable. If you are seeing steadily rising energy bills, then contact us to clean and repair your ductwork.

Inconsistent Temperatures throughout Your Home

Another sign that your air ducts need attention from our professionals is if you are experiencing inconsistent temperatures throughout your home.

Damaged air ducts will stop air from flowing freely around your home. It might not reach rooms in different areas. Contact us if you are noticing specific rooms in your house have inconsistent temperatures.

Dirt and Debris Is Accumulating Quickly

All manner of dirt and debris can fill the air ducts in your house. Your ductwork could be full of allergens, pest droppings and mold. This debris will circulate around your home whenever you run the HVAC system.

If you are noticing that dirt and debris is accumulating quickly on surfaces, then you need a professional air duct cleaning. This will improve your indoor air quality and the efficiency of your HVAC system.

Weak Airflow

A very noticeable sign that your ducts are dirty or damaged is weak airflow. You might start to notice that the air is not coming out of the vents at the same rate you are used to seeing. This can be due to broken connections or large obstructions in the ducts.

Weak airflow means you might not be able to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. We can fix this problem with cleaning and repairs.

High Humidity

A final sign there might be issues with your air ducts is high humidity. This problem can occur because part of the ducts are damaged and exposed to the elements.

Damaged ducts can allow moisture to get inside the system. The moisture will make your rooms feel very humid over time. Call us for repairs if your home becomes overly humid when running the HVAC system.
