Let's giver a warm welcome to cooler weather and festive times with family and friends this fall season! If you are like most here in Arizona this means you will be turning up the heat in your house. Here’s something you should know - you may need to clean your home’s air ducts.
Air ducts and ventilation systems can get stuffed with dust, pet hair and other contaminants that get blown through your house when you kick on the furnace for the first time in the fall. A few tall tale signs you may notice could be a burning smell when the heat turns on or experience an increase in allergy symptoms, dirty air ducts may be to blame.
The debris that builds up in your home’s air ducts throughout the year can be a great factor in mold and bacteria growth, and even invite vermin into your home. Homes exposed to extreme weather conditions (like this year’s ash from wildfires) are particularly at risk of developing hazardous mold and bacteria. Even in more mild climates that are seeing normal seasonal changes can see a great increase in allergen-producing pollen or mold that can come with a wet summer. If you have pets or have a very lively household with people coming and going often you might be constantly bringing pet hair and new dirt into your home's air ducts which can cause allergic reactions when the air begins to flow through the ducts.
As flu season looms, it is very important to ensure that your home is free of air contaminants that may worsen symptoms or cause greater illness to your family and loved ones. Older people, children, and individuals subject to asthma or other respiratory issues are very susceptible to illnesses caused by the debris that rests in the air.
The good news is that having the ducts cleaned can save you money on energy costs in the long term. Research by the EPA has demonstrated that air duct cleaning and removing debris from your home’s heating and air conditioning system can improve efficiency and the overall quality of indoor air. And, if your health wasn’t reason enough to get your air ducts cleaned this fall, clean, efficient HVAC systems are less likely to break down and will have a longer lifespan and generally operate more effectively, saving you money and the hassle of dealing with a broken-down heating and air conditioning system.
