Why Clean Ductwork Matters

The ductwork in your home or commercial building plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment for your family, employees, and customers. But that’s not the only reason you should invest in air duct cleaning services on a routine basis! Here are some other benefits:

• Energy Efficiency: A build-up of dust and dirt in your ductwork allows less room for air to pass through. This means that your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain the indoor temperature, which uses more energy and costs you more to run.
• System Longevity: When your HVAC system works harder to accommodate obstructed ducts, that puts more stress on the system and shortens its lifespan. Protect your investment by properly maintaining not only the system itself but your ductwork, too.
• Indoor Air Quality: Your HVAC system uses ductwork to circulate air throughout your home. Cleaning your duct system prevents the circulation of dust, pollutants, and allergens that may have built up in your ducts over time, promoting better indoor air quality.
• Comfort: Properly functioning and unobstructed ducts distribute conditioned air evenly, ensuring consistent comfort throughout your home or commercial space.

How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Health

We highly recommend watching this informative video from the American Lung Association, which illustrates the short- and long-term health effects of poor indoor air quality. If you are experiencing any side effects of poor indoor air quality or if you have pre-existing conditions that put you more at risk, consider scheduling air duct cleaning in Lewes, DE, today.

How Often Should You Clean Your Air Ducts?

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends getting your air ducts professionally cleaned every three to five years. If you’re not sure when your ducts were last cleaned, or if you’re experiencing any of the circumstances listed below, it’s probably time to consider scheduling a cleaning:

• Replacing Your HVAC System: If you are changing out your HVAC system with brand new equipment, we highly recommend starting off with fresh, clean ducts — especially if it’s been a while since they were last cleaned. If your ducts are dirty, your new HVAC system is going to have to work harder to maintain temperature, which will decrease its efficiency and shorten its lifespan. Maintaining clean air ducts protects your investment.
• Pet Dander: Here at Alltemp Air, we love our pets — especially our office dogs, Lola, Charlie, and Bella! But we also know that pet dander and shedding contribute to poor indoor air quality. Households with pets should consider more frequent air duct cleanings.
• Allergies or Asthma: If you have allergies or asthma, or if you live with someone who does, more frequent duct cleaning could help mitigate symptoms by filtering particles from the air that irritate these conditions.
• Recent Home Renovations: Any construction in your home could release dust, debris, or chemicals that are pulled into your duct system. If you’ve recently renovated any areas of your home, it might be a good time to schedule ductwork cleaning — especially if you’re coughing or sneezing more than usual or noticing strange noises or reduced airflow.
• Moving Into a New Home: Whether it’s a new build and you think the HVAC system may have been running during construction, or it’s an older home and you’re not sure when the previous occupants last cleaned their ducts, getting a fresh start by having your air ducts professionally cleaned is a great idea.
• Smoking Indoors: If you smoke tobacco products indoors or if you’ve moved into a home previously owned by smokers, getting your air ducts cleaned can help remove harmful soot and chemicals from the air.
• Poor Airflow: If you notice poor airflow from your vents, this may indicate that you have obstructions in your ductwork. Cleaning your ducts and removing any blockages will allow air to flow freely, reducing your energy consumption and extending the lifespan of your HVAC system.

Don’t Forget About Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

In addition to providing air duct cleaning services in Lewes, DE, we also clean dryer vents! If your dryer seems to be working less efficiently, or if you’ve found yourself putting your clothes back in for another heat cycle, it’s time to schedule a dryer vent cleaning. As a general rule, dryer vents should be cleaned every one to three years. A clogged dryer vent is a fire hazard, so regular maintenance is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I clean my air ducts myself?

While regularly changing your air filters is vital for capturing dust and debris before they enter your ductwork and air purifiers can help clean the air you breathe, these solutions are not a substitute for professional services from the best duct cleaning companies in your area. Debris can build up within the ducts and be considerably hard to reach without specialized tools, and flex and metal ducts can harbor mold and other contaminants that require professional cleaning techniques.

Should I get my air ducts cleaned before installing a new HVAC system?

Yes! Getting your air ducts cleaned before installing a new system will prevent contaminants from being circulated through your new unit. As a full-service HVAC company, we can include duct cleaning as part of the installation process — just let us know you’re interested ahead of time!
