Major Reasons to Clean You Air Ducts

CLEANLINESS

When we power vacuum the average Air Duct System it is not unusual for us to remove 4 to 17 pounds of dust, dirt and debris. This is what is circulating throughout your home every time your system turns on. (LCES)

SAFETY

Bacteria, viruses, fungi, dust mites and decaying organic matter are sent airborne throughout your home from their hiding places in your air ducts. 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air. (American College of Allergists)

HEALTH

Air duct systems are home to 27 species of fungus that cause influenza, TB and Legionnaires Disease. Legionnaires Disease killed 29 people in 1976. (American Lung Association)

EFFICIENCY

Accumulated debris can restrict the air flow in your air ducts, making your system work harder to heat and cool your home. A buildup of .042 (1/20) inches of dirt on a heating or cooling coil can result in a decrease in efficiency of 21%, increasing your monthly utility and fuel bills. (EPA)
