Caring for the ductwork that is attached to your HVAC system is just as important as caring for the HVAC system itself. After all, the attached ductwork is what carries conditioned air into your home. Without being properly maintained, your home won\u2019t be as comfortable and your HVAC unit will take on additional strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Filter Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve had to schedule duct cleaning before, you may wonder how dust gets into the network to begin with. While there are a few factors to consider, the HVAC air filter is a great place to start. If you leave an air filter in place for too long without changing it for a clean filter, dust begins to get through the fibers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the air filter fills up, dust pushes through and enters your HVAC system, eventually making it all the way to your ducts. But when you change the air filter on time or even a little early, it\u2019s less likely that dust will get through the fibers. Instead, a fresh filter will consistently filter out particles from the air so they don\u2019t get into the HVAC system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also take steps to lessen the amount of dust and dirt in your home to begin with. Vacuuming and wiping down surfaces regularly goes a long way toward helping your HVAC system. This is especially important if you have children and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may track more dirt into your home, increasing the need for vacuuming and wiping away dust buildup on shelves and other surfaces. A bonus of keeping up with cleaning is that you\u2019ll also have better indoor air quality. Fewer particles around your home means fewer particles in the air you breathe, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duct Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Professional duct cleaning services are important even when you change out the air filter on time and clean up around your home. That\u2019s because over time, the fragile material can get damaged and develop holes. Then dust and dirt can get into the ductwork that way, ultimately making the problem even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust can cause the taped seals of duct joints to wear out, allowing even more dust in. When this happens, cool air is escaping at the same time. In addition to lowering your indoor air quality, you\u2019re also spending more on energy costs for operating your HVAC system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more cool air that escapes from poor ductwork, the harder your system has to work. Professional duct services need to be scheduled every three to five years for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
