KEEP YOUR DUCTS IN A ROW
Have you noticed wisps of dust puffing out from an air duct every time you turn on your HVAC system? Are there dust or pet hair trapped in a vent? Is the return air register grill coated in dust? These signs might indicate that your home's ductwork is due for a thorough cleaning.
Within your HVAC system, fine dust accumulates on air duct surfaces, vents, motors, and coils. This dust, combined with flakes of dead skin, hair, and pet dander, creates a dense environment where bacteria, mold, dust mites, and allergens thrive. While air filters remove most of these contaminants, some parts of the HVAC system remain unaffected. Periodically checking your air ducts is crucial to determine if air duct cleaning services are necessary.
Any of these indicators suggest that your HVAC system and ductwork are adversely affected by excess dust and dirt.
Top 5 Dirty Consequences
So, what's the trouble with a little dirt and dust? Quite a bit. Dirty ducts lead to various problems, ranging from increased energy costs to health issues:
-
HVAC Performance Impact
Dirt and dust restrict the heating and cooling efficiency of your HVAC system. In winter, clogged heat exchangers struggle to warm the air efficiently, while in summer, blocked condensing coils struggle to cool the air. Both scenarios increase the HVAC system's runtime, requiring more fuel and energy.
-
Dirty Ducts: Dust Dispersion
Dirty ducts cause rapid dispersion of dirt and dust in your home, despite regular cleaning efforts. Fine particulate contaminants, including allergens, quickly spread from room to room, settling on surfaces such as tables, smartphones, and children’s toys.
-
Extended Run Times: HVAC Wear
Longer HVAC system operation leads to increased wear and tear. Extended run times can shorten the overall lifespan of HVAC systems, affecting components like AC compressors, hydro pumps, burners, and motor bearings.
-
Dust & Allergens in HVAC
Dust contains more than just dirt; it includes dead skin, pet dander, microorganisms, pollen, mold spores, fungi, and even rodent feces. Left unattended in your HVAC system, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, mites, and pests.
-
Dirt & Dust: HVAC Air Flow
Dirt and dust impede air flow. Even if your system effectively heats or cools the air, a clogged blower fan, motor, or air filter reduces the system's ability to circulate properly conditioned air throughout your home. This results in longer run times and increased energy consumption.
