Dust happens. No matter how spotless the rest of your home is, dust will always find a way into your air ducts. Duct cleaning is an important part of home maintenance. However, it takes the right equipment to keep your air ducts free from dirt and other contaminants. This is why most homeowners leave it to the professionals! A professional duct cleaning service will have the right tools to clean your ducts...and the training to know how to use them.
Air duct cleaning is a process where dust, dirt, or even mold is removed from the air ducts in your home. This is an important part of keeping your home clean and making sure that your heating and cooling system is working efficiently. For most homes, it is estimated that a duct cleaning should be performed every two to three years or as it becomes necessary. The best way to determine whether or not the air ducts in your home need to be cleaned is through a home inspection. A professional will inspect your air ducts with a visual inspection or cameras, and in the case of potential mold, a swab test.
There are a few different ways that a professional service will clean your air ducts. Each of these methods requires different tools and equipment. The best and most effective method requires a long hose that is attached to ducts from the furnace area. The hose leads to a very strong vacuum that is hooked up to a truck outside. The vacuum is used to remove any of the built up dirt in your air ducts. Various other tools are also used in this duct cleaning method, like brushes or air snakes. They will help to loosen up any of the dust and dirt that has collected inside the ducts.
Another popular duct cleaning method uses a small vacuum unit along with an exhaust filter. The vacuum will help to suck out any of the built up contaminants, and the filter will help to prevent dust from the air ducts from getting into the air. A duct cleaning service may also use a rotating brush or "Roto-brush," which is typically attached to a vacuum nozzle. This goes through the ducts and will essentially brush away any and vacuum up the dirt.
Don't trust just anyone to clean your air ducts. While it may be tempting to search for the cheapest air duct cleaning service there is - don't! It is important that you find a professional duct cleaning service that has experience in the field and knows how to properly use all of the necessary equipment. Otherwise, your duct cleaning may actually create more problems than it is solving. A poorly executed duct cleaning could harm your ducts or your heating and cooling equipment. It could also potentially stir up dust and debris within the air ducts. When you need an air duct cleaning, use a qualified professional from Canaduct Duct Cleaning.
