Deciphering Duct Cleaning

March 19, 2015

If you’ve been suffering from respiratory discomfort you’ve presumably made appointments with your doctor, but the appointment you may not have thought to make that could really improve your health is for a duct cleaning.

Most people don’t know all of the benefits a qualified duct cleaning can offer. If you’ve recently embarked upon a remodeling project or perhaps you moved into an older home, a duct cleaning is something you’ll want to add to that ever-growing to-do list to ensure the air inside your home is pure and healthy.

There are some signs you can look out for to indicate that it is time to schedule a duct cleaning. If you find any of the ensuing signs, call the professionals at H&C Heating and Cooling in Laurel about booking an appointment for a professional duct cleaning.

  • Detectable mold growth on the interior of your ductwork or any of your HVAC components
  • Excess dirt or dust around the house, created by a recent remodel or the age of the home
  • If you start seeing any evidence of insects or rodents in your ducts

There are many benefits to having a professional duct cleaning such as, the peace of mind that the air in your home is clean and won’t be negatively impacting your health, but another perk is that it could help boost the efficiency of your HVAC system. Pollutants in your ductwork and HVAC unit cause it to work harder, which hinders the efficiency and life of your system. The higher the efficiency, the lower your utility bills.

Staying healthy and comfortable in your home is as important to us as it is to you. We want to help you boost your indoor air quality and your energy efficiency in the at the same time.
