Why Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned

Monday, June 27th, 2022

Air ducts play an important role in your home. They are responsible for circulating air from the heating and cooling systems to all rooms in the house. If the air ducts are not properly cleaned and maintained, they will accumulate dust particles, pollen, mold, and other debris.

Turning on the HVAC system with dirty air ducts results in recirculating the pollutants. Not only does this impact the health of your household and pose a respiratory threat, but it also affects the comfort of your house. Your ductwork should be cleaned often to avoid pollutant buildup.

Air duct cleaning in Riverside, CA helps ensure your HVAC system is operating properly and improves the air quality of your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), air ducts should be professionally cleaned every three to five years. However, more frequent cleanings may be needed depending on the climate and whether people in the home have respiratory issues or allergies.
