Why you should get your air duct cleaned?

The air in your home circulates through the duct system multiple times per day. This is the same air you and your family breathe daily. Cleaning your air ducts reduces the circulation of dust and particles that can land on your furniture, bedding, flooring, and just about anywhere. 

Along with reducing dust, air duct cleaning minimizes allergens and irritants that can be harmful and carry microorganisms. This is important for individuals who are sensitive to airborne particles like pet dander, bacteria, pollen mildew, mold spores, and similar toxins. 

Most importantly, regularly cleaning your air ducts makes breathing easier for everybody in your home.

Is air duct cleaning loud? 

An air duct cleaning will generally sound like a vacuum cleaner. It will not be excessively loud and should not interrupt your daily routine. 

How do I prepare my home for an air duct cleaning? 

There is no special preparation for the air duct cleaning. When the vents are being cleaned, you can expect to have to turn off your heating or cooling system. So, if it’s warm outside, you may need a fan, and vice versa; if it’s cold outside, you may need a space heater.

When is the best time to have your air duct cleaned? 

Air duct cleaning can be done any time of the year, but it is best done in the spring. This is a great way to ensure that you and your family don’t inhale any microscopic dust, mould, and even mouse dropping.
