Commonly Asked Air Duct Cleaning Questions; Insights from a Glenview Air Duct Cleaning Company

Cleaning the ducts of your HVAC system is important to maintaining the quality of the air in your home and the proper functioning of the system. Over time, the ducts will collect various contaminants including dust, bacteria, fungi, and even mold, and as the air circulates through the ducts, it cycles these contaminants through the home. This can have a detrimental effect on the health of the residents. Ducts may also become clogged, decreasing air flow and putting a strain on the various components of the HVAC system. This, if left unchecked, can lead to damage. The solution to this issue is engaging a professional Glenview air duct cleaning service, and in this article, we’re going to answer some of the most commonly asked questions we receive from our clients.

How often is the procedure required?

There are several factors that come into play here, and there is really no hard rule of thumb. Generally speaking, you should call in a contractor if you start to notice reduced air flow, strange smells in the home, your allergies flaring up, or a general low air quality. If you have a recurring HVAC maintenance plan, the Glenview air duct cleaning contractor will also make sure that the ducts are clean and unobstructed once or twice a year.

What does the procedure entail?

In order to clean the air ducts of a home, the contractor will use source removal methods, which create negative pressure within the system. This then helps the contractor remove the debris within the ducts using specialized devices.

Why does air duct cleaning lead to lower energy bills?

If your air ducts are not blocked, you will not see an immediate drop in your energy bills. However, over the long term, dirty ducts can take their toll on the system, and as the system goes under the effects of wear and tear, it becomes less and less efficient. This not only means that the lifespan of the system is shorter, it also means that as the system and its components reach the end of their life cycle, they will have to run longer and at a higher intensity to reach optimal comfort levels within the home. This, in turn, causes a spike in your energy bills.

How do I find the best Glenview air duct cleaning contractor for the job?

When looking for the best company for the project, it’s wise to go through several interviews and evaluations. The quotes will be based on the size of your system, and the layout of the ductwork. Quotes are generally free, and during the interview process, you’ll want to ask about certifications, the air duct cleaning method, and the equipment that will be used.
