Top Reasons to Get Your Air Ducts Cleaned Before Winter

No doubt you know the winters are long and harsh here in Fargo. This means a lot of time spent inside your home. Windows and doors during winter are usually closed, and this means you are breathing air that is getting recycled through your air duct system. Unless you have had your ducts cleaned, the constant circulation of dust, pollen, fungus, bacteria and germs could increase the chances of sickness and increased allergies.

Here are several reasons why you should get your air ducts cleaned before winter.

Decrease energy costs. An air duct system that is full of dust makes your furnace work much harder than is should, which costs money in additional heating expense. The restriction on your furnace filter from dust accumulation puts added strain on the furnace blower. This could result in an expensive motor replacement.

Reduce house cleaning chores. If you constantly dust your home and yet still see a layer of dust almost immediately after you clean, this is a good indication your duct system needs a cleaning. Another common sign of a dirty air duct system is black lines under doors, around return air vent openings and stair wells. These black outlines usually appear on light colored carpet. This problem is fine dust circulating in and around these areas and returning back to the air ducts. Some of the fine dust particles settle into the carpet to create black stains creating a black area. You can reduce this problem by cleaning your air duct system.

Increase the quality of your indoor air. Most homes in the F-M area are filled with a great deal of insulation. Many homes we find do NOT have an air exchanger. This creates a situation where the indoor air never gets fresh. The air just keeps recirculating through the air duct system. This includes germs, bacteria along with dust and debris that can cause sickness and irritate allergies. A good cleaning and sanitizing of your air duct system can get all of that harmful stuff out of your duct system and make room to circulate fresh air.

Prevent a fire. Lint is very flammable. Many homeowners overlook their dryer vent and duct as a potential fire hazard. Most air duct cleaning companies can also clean out your dryer vent and duct if it is some distance from the dryer to the outside of the home. A great deal of very flammable lint can settle into the dryer vent duct and vent, creating a dangerous fire hazard. This lint can overheat your dryer element and ignite a fire that moves very quickly. The restriction on your dryer vent can also make your dryer work harder, just like we mentioned about your furnace. Its the same concept.

The problem is most people cannot see inside their air duct system, so they don't know how dirty it really is. In some older homes, you can get several pounds of dust and debris out of the air ducts, and homeowners are surprised by the results. Since it is out of sight, it is usually overlooked. If you are unsure about your air ducts, most air duct cleaning companies can provide you with a free video inspection, so you can see exactly what is trapped in your duct work.

Most air duct cleaning companies can provide you with a free evaluation of your heating system. A few questions you might want to ask them would be just exactly how they go about cleaning, how long they have been in business and how much it would cost to get the service done.

As you can see, there are several reasons you might consider getting your air ducts cleaned before the winter season arrives.
