Lower Your Cooling Costs With Professional Duct Cleaning

Keeping your Puyallup home cool can cost you a fortune during the peak of summer, especially if your system isn’t as efficient as it could be. There are many ways you can reduce your cooling costs and keep your hard-earned money in your pocket. Professional duct cleaning is a service that can save you money and should be regularly scheduled to maintain efficiency for your air conditioning system.

How It Works

Professional duct cleaning targets dust, dirt, and other debris inside your HVAC air ducts. Technicians may begin the process by scoping or visually inspecting your ducts, looking for signs of blockages, gaps, and holes. The technician then uses compressed air to blast contaminants out of your ducts. A high-suction vacuum system attaches to the ends of your ducts to collect this debris, ensuring it doesn’t blow around your home.

Experts recommend scheduling duct cleaning once every three to five years to enjoy the most benefits. Of course, you can schedule the service more often if you live in an industrial or dusty area, and duct cleaning can be scheduled anytime if you’ve failed to stay on schedule.

Benefits of Duct Cleaning Services

Professional air duct cleaning leaves your ductwork clean and clear, allowing conditioned air to travel smoothly to the vents.

With clean ductwork, you’ll likely enjoy lower cooling costs this summer. Air is able to travel through the air ducts from the HVAC system to the vents without obstruction, providing sufficient cold air to keep your home comfortable. Blocked ducts can increase your utility bills since your air conditioner will have to work harder to push cold air to the vents. It won’t just potentially lower your bill, either; since it reduces the work your system has to do, duct cleaning can actually extend your system’s lifespan.

Also, debris and contaminants that build up inside your air ducts can develop smells over time. Additionally, rodents and pests do occasionally find their way into the ductwork and become stuck. As the pests decay, you could have a nasty smell emit from your vents. Professional duct cleaning removes all foreign matter, taking troublesome smells along with it.

Sufficient and even airflow is important to maintain comfort. Blockages in your ductwork can cut off airflow to certain vents, leading to hot spots in your home. Buildup inside the vents may restrict the amount of cold air that is able to reach the vents, leading to insufficient airflow. Professional duct cleaning removes and prevents obstructions, giving you good airflow throughout the house.

Clean air ducts are healthy air ducts that have a longer lifespan. Allowing buildup to sit inside your ductwork can create integrity issues including sagging and gaps. Some foreign materials can cause corrosion inside your air ducts, leading to holes. Keep your air ducts clean with professional service and you could enjoy longer-lasting ducts and lower repair and replacement costs.

The air your system circulates can kick up any dust that settles inside of your ducts. As a result, that dust will make it out of your ductwork and onto surfaces inside your house. As a result, you may end up spending more time cleaning when you neglect to schedule routine duct cleaning.

Finally, you’ll breathe easier inside your home with regular duct cleaning. The compressed air and vacuum clear all the dust, allergens, and pollutants out of your ductwork. Left uncleaned, these substances may just continue to circulate through your house, blowing out of the vents and being reintroduced through the intake vents. Regular professional cleaning is especially important for allergy sufferers and people with respiratory issues.
