Having central air conditioning is a great way to keep your home cool in the summer. When you have central air, you can keep your whole home cool, without needing to place various air conditioners in the windows around your home. If you do have central air conditioning, it is important to have your ducts cleaned regularly. There are several benefits of regular Duct Cleaning.
A Healthy Choice for Children
Studies have shown, that children are much more likely than adults to be affected by polluted air. If your ducts are full of dust, mold, or allergens, it can greatly affect your child’s respiratory system.
Common Cause For Allergies
Often times, a person believes that the reason they have allergies is due to certain allergens, such as dust, pollen, or animal dander which is always in the air. In many cases, this is not true. The real culprit could be the dust which has built up within the air conditioning ducts. When you have your ducts cleaned regularly, your allergies could clear up.
Ineffective Filters
Central air conditioning systems have filters which are made to stop dirt, dust, pollen, and other allergens from entering the duct work. Most fiberglass filters are only seven percent effective in keeping these allergens from entering the duct work. Because so many allergens in the air can find their way into the ducts, regular duct cleaning is necessary.
Cooling System Failure
When your ducts are cluttered with dirt, dust, pollen, mold, or other allergens, your system is likely to fail. Studies have shown that 90 percent of the system failures are due to dirt or dust in the ducts. Having your ducts cleaned often can extend the life of your air conditioning system.
Reduction on Cooling Costs
When your air conditioning ducts are not clean, your system will not run efficiently. When you system is not running efficiently, it would need to work twice as hard to keep the home cool. This can greatly increase your cooling costs. When you have your ducts cleaned regularly, your system will work the way it should, without putting any additional stress on the system.
