Everyone thinks to dust the baseboards and mop the floors, but most don’t think to look much further. But when you stop there, you are missing a crucial part of keeping your house clean. Cleaning dirty air ducts in your home is often overlooked but critical to your home’s health.

HVAC duct cleaning has come under fire recently, and people are asking how many health benefits really come along with cleaning dirty ducts. Even though many studies have suggested that there are indeed many health benefits, one thing that is not being questioned is the improved efficiency you will experience after cleaning your ducts. When your system is contaminated or clogged, it has to work harder to keep your house at the desired temperature. This means that a decent portion of the money you are spending to heat or cool your house every month is wasted.

When your air ducts are not cleaned properly, the system has to work harder because airflow is restricted. This can lead to wasted money and a shorter lifespan of your ducts. This means you may have to replace your ductwork earlier than you were planning. Just like any other part of your house, taking care of your ducts will make them last much longer.

Additionally, keeping your duct system clean will substantially reduce the amount of dust in your house.  Wouldn’t it be nice to save time not having to dust nearly as often?

Nobody wants to throw money and time down the drain. But that might be exactly what you are doing with dirty air ducts and vents. Everything in a house needs maintenance and that includes getting your air ducts and HVAC system cleaned. By doing this, you may shave a little off your utility bill every month while having a more energy-efficient house to leave a better earth for the next generation. People often consider the health benefits of duct cleaning, but forget the other ways it can benefit you.
