Duct cleaning service

Not it's time to tell you that while there are some questions about air duct cleaning as a general practice, there are some situations in which you will definitely want to schedule duct cleaning for your house. Since every home and the conditions there are different, it is difficult to generalize about the most appropriate duct cleaning for your home. If there are no allergy sufferers in your home and if there are no symptoms or other illnesses that do not have explanation and you visually check your air ducts to find that they are dusty, professional cleaning of the ducts is probably not necessary. Return registers often get dusty as they pull the air from your home. A good vacuuming may be all that is necessary to clean these ducts. Fortunately, most furnaces today have a filter that prevents this dust from getting back into your home. This filter will need to be replaced or cleaned after you clean the return air ducts. If someone in your home is having unexplained or unusual symptoms that you feel may be related to the home, then you need to discuss this situation with your doctor. Over time, dust does tend to build up in air ducts. In addition, if you have floor registers dust, dirt, debris and dander tend to fall into these registers. If duct cleaning is done correctly, all of these items can be removed so that they are not constantly blowing around in your house. It is important that the duct cleaning service follow the most appropriate duct cleaning procedures to prevent contamination of the air in your home. If the vacuum system that they use is inadequate, it can release more dirt, dust and contaminants than if you had left the dust that was stuck to the registers alone. In addition, if the duct cleaning personnel are not careful or are inadequately trained, they may damage the ducts or even your heating or cooling system. This can cause you to have to pay more on your heating or cooling system. If there is mold growing inside of your duct work, they you will want to have it cleaned in an appropriate manner. If you see what appears to be mold, it is important that you have the substance tested. Use a clear strip of clear household tape to lift a sample from the duct and send it to a microbiology lab for testing. They can tell you for certain if the substance is mold or simply some other substance that looks like mold. This test will cost about fifty dollars.
