Professional air duct cleaning for your Salt Lake City home is the best way to keep things like dirt, debris, allergens, and other harmful things from circulating through your home. Most homeowners don’t think much about what might be inside your air ducts, but if you haven’t had them professionally cleaned in the last few years, they could be harboring all kinds of undesirable things. When you turn on your furnace in the winter or air conditioner in the summer, the forced air circulates them throughout every room of your home.
Protect Your Family’s Health from Harmful Pollutants
A typical family living in a 3-bedroom home will generate about 40 pounds of dust every year just from your day-to-day activities. You can often see this dust on furniture and floors, or in fabrics like curtains and upholstery. With all that dust floating around, some of it will inevitably end up in your HVAC system, where the furnace and air conditioner re-circulate it several times every day throughout your home.
If you are thinking that a little extra dust circulating through your vents is no big deal, remember that it’s not just dirt in those vents. There are plenty of other potential health hazards that are mixed in with the dust that even the best filters cannot capture, including:
- Bacteria
- Pet dander
- Mold spores
- Fungi
- Pollen
- Smoke
- Chemicals
Your air ducts also lead to the outside of your home, which means they could be harboring pests—such as insects, spiders and even rodents—that got in through small openings around the house. This activity often picks up in the winter months when it’s cold outside and they are looking for a warm place to live.
These allergens can get caught anywhere in your HVAC system, from supply and return ducts to heat exchangers, blowers, and filters, and a professional duct cleaning is the best way to remove them.
