Why You Need Whole House Vent Cleaning

Whole House Vent Cleaning

This article is for you if you’ve ever wondered why you need whole house vent cleaning. You’ll learn about the benefits of having clean air ducts in your home and how whole house vent cleaning works. 

Plus, we’ll cover some of the common problems that arise from dirty air ducts and how they can affect your health and energy efficiency.

Benefits Of Having Clean Air Ducts

Clean air ducts can have a number of benefits, including:

  • Reduced allergy symptoms. Having clean air ducts can reduce the amount of dust and other allergens in your home. This is especially helpful for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.
  • Improved energy efficiency. A clean HVAC system uses less energy than a dirty one, which means you can save money on heating bills each month!
  • Improved indoor air quality. Dirty systems are known to produce harmful particles like mold spores and bacteria into your home’s atmosphere, which doesn’t do anyone any favors when it comes to their health or comfort levels (especially if certain family members are more prone to allergic reactions).

How Whole House Vent Cleaning Works

When you hire a professional to clean your ducts, they’ll first come out and give you a quote. 

Some companies will charge per square foot of the ductwork that needs cleaning — others charge by the hour or price of an entire house. Either way, it’s usually not more than $200-$300 to clean all of your ducts.

Once they’ve given you a quote and scheduled an appointment with you, they’ll go over how long it takes for their equipment to do its job: about two hours per floor on average (though this will vary depending on how many vents there are).

Poor Air Quality

The air quality in your home—and what you breathe every day—is one of the most important factors in keeping you healthy. 

If you’re doing a whole house vent cleaning, then it’s likely that there are some major improvements to be made to improve air quality. This can also help reduce health problems, like allergies and asthma symptoms, that may arise from living in an environment with poor air quality.

You may notice other problems as well:

  • Poor duct sealing and insulation can lead to excess moisture and mold growth in your ducts. When this happens on a large scale, it can cause health risks such as allergies and asthma symptoms from exposure to dust mites (which thrive in humid conditions).

  • A dirty furnace filter can cause carbon monoxide buildup when combined with high heaters or malfunctioning heat exchangers due to clogged filters or improper maintenance settings

Reduced Efficiency

If your ducts and vents are dirty, it doesn’t take much to imagine how inefficient your heating and cooling systems can become. 

The ducts themselves act as pipes for airflow, so any debris that builds up on them will cause a major reduction in the amount of air that gets through. Unfortunately, that’s why many homeowners see their energy bills increase when they need to clean their vents.

Cleaner ducts also mean more comfort—especially during winter when you’re running the furnace or air conditioner full-time. 

For example, suppose there’s a buildup of dirt and dust in your AC system’s insulation. In that case, it won’t be able to do its job correctly because cold or warm air isn’t flowing freely throughout the house.

Allergies

If your vents are dirty, contaminants and allergens can build up inside them and become trapped when doors close. These contaminants will circulate throughout the house, potentially causing reactions that affect breathing or skin problems like eczema or asthma flare-ups.
