Trinity AC Company Explains Why Clean Duct Work Improves Indoor Air Quality

Because the air quality inside your home or business is dependent on clean duct work, it is important to many people.  And because cleaning the duct work and vents also improves the efficiency of the air system and prevents fire risks, it’s recommended that you have ducts cleaned regularly.

“Dust and dirt accumulates in the duct work which hurts your indoor air quality,” explains Air Hawk Heating and Cooling owner Joe Massa. “A lot of the dirt and dust that accumulates adheres to the components of your HVAC system. This does not mean that it necessarily becomes airborne and enters our breathing space. But, this accumulation is a perfect breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other fungi that are definite sources of indoor air pollution.”

Many home and business owners are concerned about their indoor air quality.  Having clean duct work is one way to improve that.  Another way is to change your filters on a regular basis. That not only improves the air quality, it also helps your energy savings and improves the function of your HVAC system.  Replacing your air conditioning filter routinely will help keep your system running smoothly and prevent the buildup of mold, dust and other allergens which could in turn make your duct work dirty and contaminated.

In most cases, if you are replacing your air conditioning filters on the proper interval each month, then having your air ducts cleaned might not be necessary, however, it will give you piece of mind.

Think about it,” says Massa.  “You have no idea what is hiding in the depths of your air ducts.”

Remember, the easier it is for the air to flow through your air ducts, the better your system performs. Any blockage that is in your ducts will prevent proper air flow which will mean higher energy costs over time.
