3 Reasons to Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned This Spring

We usually don't see them, so it's easy not to think too much about them.

But the ducts that carry warm and cool air throughout your home accumulate dust and dirt just like anything else. Unfortunately, that gunk doesn't just stay on the sides of the ducts — the air running through the ducts carries some of it into your home, affecting your home's overall air quality and potentially aggravating your allergies.

Here are three reasons to have your air ducts cleaned, according to our friends at Pioneer Comfort Systems:

1) It's been 3-5 years since your last cleaning (or you have never had them cleaned.) If you have mold, insect, or rodent infestation, you should have them cleaned ASAP, no matter how long it's been.

2) Clean air ducts extend the life of your heating and cooling system. Dirt accumulation can prevent them from performing at peak efficiency and slowly degrade the entire system, even if you keep up with routine maintenance.

3) Higher quality air promotes better health. Dirt, pollutants, pet dander, and bacteria all can circulate in your air because of build-up in your air ducts — and all ultimately can affect the health of both you and your family.

Pioneer Comfort Systems' crews follow the standards set by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and sanitize your ducts using advanced cleaning technology and environmentally friendly antimicrobial cleaning products.
