3 REASONS YOU NEED A VENT CLEANING TODAY!
Our vents circulate air all around our home, but they also spread anything that is in them. If you haven’t had a professional vent cleaning done in a while, that means you could be spreading some pretty nasty things around your house. The benefits of a vent cleaning range from healthier air quality to a more efficient HVAC system. This could save you money on your energy and maintenance costs.
A Professional Vent Cleaning Equals a Healthier Home
When was the last time you took a look in your vents? Chances are it’s been a while. If you haven’t had a vent cleaning done in a while, then you will probably see a layer of dust, dirt, and anything else that has fallen into the vent. This is especially true if you have kids; they may find dropping things into the vent fascinating. You can take a vacuum and try to suck up all you can, but you won’t be able to reach much farther than you can see. Also, any pet dander and dead skin cells from the previous owner of your home is probably still hanging around in your vents. This means you are breathing in gunk that has collected for years!
Mold is another danger that is lurking in your vents. A dark and moist area is the perfect climate for mold growth. When you turn on your heater or AC, those mold spores then spread throughout your home. This is especially dangerous for people with asthma, mold allergies, or weakened immune systems. A professional vent cleaning will clean your entire vent system, not just the part that can be reached with a common vacuum. This will help everyone in your home breathe easier.
Your Home Will Smell Better
When you turn on your A/C or heater and you notice a musty or burning type of smell, then it’s time for a vent cleaning. Any odors in your home get circulated around with your vent system and hang around long after the offending source of the smell is gone from your home. If you find yourself using air fresheners even though your home looks clean, you might be surprised at how your home smells after a vent cleaning.
It Could Help Lower Your Energy Bills
Junk that accumulates in your vents makes it difficult for air to flow freely around your home. This makes your HVAC unit work harder and consume more energy, which equals a larger electricity bill. A professional vent cleaning will get rid of all obstructions and allow the air to flow around your home more easily. Not only will this help lower your energy bill, but it can also help prevent maintenance on your unit, since it won’t have to work as hard.
