How Air Duct Cleaning Can Help Energy Efficiency
Many homeowners often overlook one of the biggest sources of energy, the HVAC system. Your home’s source of heat and air is the lungs of your house, taking air in and breathing it back out through a series of air duct pathways. As your home goes through the seasons, dirt, dust, pet dander and more contaminants build up in your system’s air ducts, making it harder for the unit to reach that desired comfort level. As a result, more energy is required to function which adds to your energy bill.

Secondly, maintaining your HVAC system doesn’t just cut back on your energy costs, it also helps avoid expensive repairs and replacements in the future. The harder your system works to circulate air throughout your home, the more likely it will break down from overuse. Even with regular air filter changes, your air ducts will need to be cleaned to ensure maximum efficiency in the long run.
