Did you know that approximately 5-7 times a day the air in your home circulates through the air ducts of your HVAC heating and cooling system, carrying with it the dust and debris of everyday living.
I just went to go change my filter... for the first time in.... well, let's not even go there. It was SO filthy! I can't believe I've been breathing this air!
Your furnace filter catches much of the stuff (unless you're like me and totally forget to change your filter!), but neglect, remodeling projects, or less than professional duct installation can lead to a buildup of gunk inside your ductwork that threatens the efficiency of your HVAC system.
Wondering how to get those ducts cleaned? Calling Red's Heating and Cooling is the first step to making sure your Robertson County home is clean and free of debris and dust!
How are ducts cleaned? Dislodging and removing dust and debris is done with one or more of the following methods:
1. Hand-held vacuuming: Workers use a brush attached to a large portable vacuum equipped with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter. This method may leave pockets of dust behind.
2. Mechanical brush: A rotating brush is fed into the ductwork. A truck-mounted vacuum sucks away debris. Before choosing this method, make sure your system is in good shape as this brush could harm poorly installed systems.
3. Air sweep: A truck-mounted vacuum system takes away dust and debris dislodged by a compressed-air hose fed into the ducts.
Of the three above methods, the air sweep method usually does the most effective job.
