What is Duct Cleaning?

Duct cleaning has become a buzzword in home service for a few years, but many home owners are still confused about exactly what duct cleaning is and if it is a service that they need. Most people are newly aware that indoor air pollution is an issue of growing concern and increased visibility.

Duct Cleaning involves cleaning the air vents that move air from your central air conditioner and furnace throughout your home. If your air ducts are dirty, that dirty air is being circulated throughout your home and into the air you and your family breathes. The dirt is also pulled through your central air conditioner and furnace, which can strain the unit and decrease its efficiency. Some duct systems contain mold, mildew, and microorganisms that are also circulated through the home.

Professional duct cleaning can remove these hazards from your indoor air. Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.
