1. Indoor Air Quality: One thing to consider when you’re thinking about vent and duct cleaning is the fact that indoor air quality is decreasing. Though things like high-efficiency windows, doors, and increased insulation are great when it comes to reducing energy costs, they are often not supplemented with any additional ventilation, causing pollutants that enter the home to remain inside instead of leaking out through drafty windows and gaps.Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average, in our home.
2. Energy savings: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40% of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use.
