5 Reasons Why Air Duct Cleaning is Vital in Sarasota Florida
- One of the most common repairs we perform at Wentzel’s is sealing leaks. Leaks have a huge negative impact on the efficiency of your air conditioning system. Take a moment to think about how much work your air conditioning system does during a typical Sarasota Florida summer. There is an enormous amount of air sent thought the vents, and the fan is constantly working. Now imagine a build-up of dust and debris collecting in the duct walls and the resistance it creates against the airflow. It doesn’t take long for that resistance to force your air conditioning system to work harder and harder.
- When there is an accumulation of contaminants and dirt in your heating and cooling system, your system must work harder thus draining its power and causing the system to go into overdrive and consume more energy than needed, which results in a higher electricity bill for you. Having your air ducts cleaned will not only save you a few dollars in the process but will also help protect the environment.
- Not only will cleaning your air ducts make the HVAC system more efficient and save on energy, it also helps protect its components from suffering damage due to dust and debris particles. It only takes a very small amount of dust or contaminants to get into the A/C coils and motor to lead to malfunctions and a system that doesn’t work the way it really should.
- Having your air ducts cleaned every few years will help maintain better indoor air quality. It was found that within a year, about 40 lbs. of dirt and debris accumulate in a house with six rooms and according to the EPA, the air you breathe indoors might be 70 times more impure than the air outside. This dust and dirt travels through your ventilation system, which leads to build-up in air ducts. Cleaning your air ducts will get rid of this build-up and will help improve the air quality in your home.
- If any of your family members have allergies, dirty air ducts can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Bacteria that you are forced to breathe in. Your air ducts could be fostering something that can make you or your family members allergy’s worse or even deadly. So, it’s worth getting them cleaned.
If you decide to get your air ducts cleaned, then it’s important that the work is performed by a professional, as having the work done by an inadequately qualified service provider or yourself could result in damage to your air ducts and/or the heating/cooling system itself.
