For many homeowners, their central HVAC ducts are out of sight and out of mind. The downside to that approach is that unattended duct problems can affect your comfort and costs without you realizing it. A common issue is dust accumulation. No matter how clean your home is, dust buildup in your ducts is inevitable. That’s why White Mechanical, Inc. recommends regular air duct cleaning in Lake Forest, CA. Our ductwork cleaning service will remove all that debris from your house without pushing it into your indoor air.
Professional Air Duct Cleaning
Many homeowners aren’t aware that HVAC experts advise regular air duct cleaning. Even those that do are often unsure how often and when to schedule. The answer is different for every household. It depends on the size of the home and the number of people and pets. Households with pets, or allergy and asthma sufferers, may want to schedule cleanings more often.
That’s why we recommend scheduling a duct camera inspection at least once every other year. A seasonal tune-up doesn’t include a duct inspection, but you can schedule that service at the same time. Our camera system will reveal dust, moisture, pests, and other contaminants. An oft-overlooked benefit is that it will also reveal worn seals and other repair issues. These are problems that can cause leakage that undermines comfort, efficiency, and air quality.
Dust in your ducts is a concern because it’s more than just dirt; it’s a blend of dirt, hair, skin cells, insect matter, and many other substances. The other problem with dust is that it sponges up gases and chemicals and emits them into your home over time. That can make your house smell stale or worse. It can also contribute to indoor air pollution.
The other consideration is airflow. Each season that you go without ductwork cleaning, the ducts build up a layer of dust. Each subsequent layer reduces the amount of space in your ducts. Eventually, that can reduce airflow and increase pressure. Increased pressure can affect system efficiency and lead to higher operating costs. Weaker airflow can lead to problems like cold and warm spots and notable temperature differences between floors.
The first step in duct cleaning involves prepping the home. That includes putting covers over the vents. Those covers make it easier to clean the vent mouths and avoid any dust in the house. Our technicians will then use a hose connected to a high-powered vacuum. The suction creates negative air pressure that ensures all the dust flows into the vacuum. These systems also have advanced filtration to ensure that they trap dust and don’t redistribute it. Our team will use brushes, scrapers, nozzles, and other tools for any hardened dust deposits.
