Air ducts have been recognized by both government agencies like the EPA and researchers as having a direct influence on the quality of the air that homeowners and their families enjoy.
However, air ducts are often neglected, and this can lead to severe consequences as far as the health and well-being of those in the home. Noble Air recommends that air ducts are inspected and cleaned at least every three years. It would be preferable that homeowners engage a professional cleaning company at least once a year.
Depending on the area there has been a steady decrease in air quality over the last decade. Combined with natural disasters such as forest fires and the aerosolizing of fine particles from those disasters, as well as ambient pollution the quality of the outside air is sub-par.
Dirty air ducts mean that central air conditioning systems are not operating at peak capacity. A variety of materials, including spores, particulate matter, dead skin, pet dander, dust from rodent feces, mold, bacteria, and even viruses can become lodged in the ducting system – and these will become airborne and spread throughout the home if the air ducts are not clean.
Many of these airborne contaminants can have severe effects on those who suffer from asthma, medical conditions affecting the lungs and upper respiratory tract, or depressed immune function.
Noble Air Team advises homeowners to perform some simple checks to gauge whether the air ducts need service.
‘It can be as simple as removing a vent cover and looking. If there is dirt, dust, or debris it’s time to call in the professionals. Also, check the air filters of the ducting system – if they are clogged it may be a sign that the ducts need to be cleaned – and that your HVAC system is being put under pressure.’
He also stressed that a build-up of dirt and dust, especially when it is impeding the flow of air through the system will place the HAC system under enormous pressure. This can lead to longer run times and more wear and tear to parts. The impact of a dirty ducting system can have both ongoing and long-term financial impacts. A system that must work harder simply consumes more energy and that adds to monthly power bills. In the long-term parts that are under constant stress tend to fail – and replacing those parts can be extremely costly. A clean air duct system will ensure that parts perform for their full anticipated lifespan.
Noble Air Team concluded. ‘It’s easy to ignore your air ducts. It’s often a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind.’ But dirty ducts can have serious consequences for the health of those in the home. Dirty ducts can add to the financial burden of already spiraling household expenses. Professional air duct cleaning services offer exceptional value for money – and when compared to the value of a family’s health – those services offer an incredible return on investment.’
