What is the role of air ducts?
Air ducts are the pathways that circulate air throughout your home. They draw air into your HVAC system and are also used to push the heated/cooled air back out through your home.
Why don’t air ducts stay clean?
Even with proper furnace filters in place, plenty of dust, dirt, germs, particles and other buildup still circulates throughout your home. A good filter helps, but over time, tiny particles settle throughout the length of your ducts. This is especially true in older homes, areas with low air quality, or homes where activities (such as woodworking) or occupants (such as pets!) contribute to more ‘stuff’ in the air.
When do I know it’s time to get my ducts cleaned?
A few signs can tip you off that it may be time to get your ducts cleaned. If you are needing to dust surfaces in your home more often than you used to, if the air in your home begins to have an ‘unfresh’ or ‘cooped up’ smell, if you notice dust in the visible portion of our ducts, these are all signs that it may be time to consider an air duct cleaning for your Kawartha Lakes home from British Empire Fuels.
What are the benefits of air duct cleaning?
There are 3 key benefits to getting your air ducts cleaned.
Lower energy costs. When you reduce or eliminate buildup in your ducts, it’s easier for your HVAC system to circulate the air (less ‘stuff’ in the ducts means less drag on the air blowing through). This means your system doesn’t need to work as hard to get the air through, so it will use less energy. (This can also help prolong the life of your furnace or air conditioner by eliminating unnecessary wear and tear.)
Better air quality. Less dust buildup in the vents means less building being circulated throughout your home. Buildup can include bacteria, allergens and mold, so reducing these things can do wonders for your air quality (and physical comfort in the house), including the reduction of unpleasant or stale odors.
Cleaner home. Less dust in the air means less dust settling on your surfaces. Simple as that.
