An important way to keep your HVAC system running smoothly and keep your family breathing easier is air duct cleaning. Some homeowners can be wary of this important service because there are some air duct cleaning myths, unfortunately. With this in mind, we at Air Pure Air Duct Cleaning would like to take the opportunity to dispel some of the common myths that are associated with air duct cleaning.
Air Ducts Get Dirty!
Being just another way for an HVAC company to take some of your hard-earned cash, a lot of people believe that air ducts don’t really get that dirty. This is far from the truth. Some homeowners even must deal with pests like insects and rodents in their ducts in addition to the ducts getting dust, dirt, and pollen accumulated inside. It is a good idea to have your ducts inspected along with the rest of your HVAC system yearly to determine if or when they need to be cleaned. Even if the air conditioning system is never used, forced air systems move air through ducts, which means that the air will get dirty. Periodic duct cleaning is necessary because ducts used for ventilation or heat will eventually get dirty.
Are Harsh Chemicals Applied to the Inside of Air Ducts?
During a duct cleaning, homeowners are concerned about exposing their family to dangerous chemicals. Most HVAC companies have non-chemical alternatives that you can discuss with them, and chemicals aren’t a necessity to clean the ducts, fortunately. Without the use of harsh chemicals, there are products that can properly clean the ducts and prevent mold growth.
Is Air Duct Cleaning Only Needed with Dehumidifiers?
Because that may cause more bacteria growth, another common myth is that your ducts only need to be cleaned if the air conditioning system has a dehumidifier. All air conditioning systems have a drip tray to catch the water that results from the air condensing over the coils since excess moisture does make it easier for bacteria to grow. Mold and bacteria can develop when water in the drip tray can sometimes back up and enter the ducts.
Can Air Ducts Make You Sick?
Many people are resistant to the idea that the air inside their home can be harmful to their health also since people would argue that dirty air outside has no impact on their health. Even with air filters your home is susceptible to dirt, pollen, and other allergens, all of which travel through the ducts in your home, unfortunately. Due to poor air quality, these particles in the air contribute to poor indoor air quality and you may begin to experience health symptoms like breathing trouble, headaches, fatigue, and other flu-like symptoms.
