When to Consider Duct Cleaning

The ducts in your Florida home are a vital part of keeping you comfortable, distributing cool and warm air. However, since you almost never see the interior of your ducts, you may not know how dirty they can get if they work for a few years without a proper cleaning. Because undamaged ducts are sealed along their length to avoid loss of pressure, there aren’t many ways for the debris build-up inside to get out… except through the vents into your living space.

Getting the ducts clean isn’t a basic job you can manage yourself. Accessing your ducts is difficult to do without causing damage to them, and simply using household cleaners and a sponge or some rags will not begin to address the problem. You’ll need specialists for this task. In Lutz, FL, the duct cleaning experts at Ierna’s Heating & Cooling have two decades of experience, so make them your first call.

You should consider duct cleaning if you haven’t had it done in a few years. It’s difficult to stop a build-up of dust, although regularly changing the air filters in your AC and furnace will slow it down. There are a few other signs that will point to the need to have work done.

One of them is an increase of dirt inside your home: if you start finding layers of dust across surfaces or on the tops of books despite your regular cleaning, then the vents may have excess dust blowing out of them.

A dirty set of ducts will lower the quality of your air, which is the most pressing reason for having them cleaned. If you’ve noticed an increase in allergy symptoms among the people in your house, or coughing, dry skin, headaches, and eye and nose irritation that seem abnormal, then you are probably experiencing a drop in air quality. Because the contaminants in your ducts can include mold and other bacterial growths—especially in the moist Florida climate—you should have the ducts cleaned as soon as possible to avoid further health problems.

Dirty ductwork can also trigger a rise in your power bills, since the build-up will force your air conditioner or furnace to work harder. A gradual increase in your monthly energy costs may be a warning that your ducts need their regular cleaning.
