Every home collects one common item: dust. No matter how much time and effort you put into cleaning your house, dust will eventually collect in every corner, from the top of your cabinets to the inside of your furnace ducts—a spot where microfiber ‘dusting’ cloths won’t be very effective.
Dust, dirt, and debris in your HVAC system can make the air hard to breathe and create a roadblock to your home’s overall safety. So, don’t let your ducts continue to collect dust—contact Weiss-Johnson for furnace duct cleaning in Edmonton! Below, we’ll discuss how to identify dirty air ducts, the benefits of cleaning them regularly, and how you can get top-of-the-line services from our team of expert HVAC specialists.
How to Identify Dirty Air Ducts
Your furnace air ducts are a big contributor to the comfort of your home. These systems are responsible for your home’s air circulation and directly impact the quality of air that you breathe. Regularly inspecting and cleaning them will ensure your home’s air is fresh all year round!
Here are a few ways you can identify dirty air ducts:
- Dirt, debris, or matted dust in your vent covers
- Dust buildup on your return air registers
- Dust-clogged air filter
- Dust-clogged furnace blower fan and motor
- Lower airflow at the registers than you used
If you notice any or all of the above in your HVAC system, it’s time to give those ducts a good scrub.
What Happens If You Don’t Clean Your Furnace Ducts?
How problematic can dust build up really be? Dust can be the culprit behind several problems in your home, from rising utility bills to an increase in allergy-induced sneezes. Here are just a few things that can happen if you let your air ducts collect too much debris:
Restricted HVAC operation: Matted dust can create a major blockage in your heating and cooling system. Clogged heat exchangers can’t push warm air as effectively, while the cooling abilities of condensing coils are cut off. This restriction will require your HVAC system to use more fuel and energy (not to mention money!) to cool and heat your home.
Contaminated Air: Dust is made up of many different particles and substances, and you don’t want to breathe in most of it. Dead skin cells, pet dander, pollen, mould, and more can be contaminating the air that you breathe. This can cause allergies to flare up and irritate your respiratory system. You can even develop new respiratory problems from consistently inhaling such toxic air.
Increased Wear and Tear: Keeping your furnace ducts dust-ridden can cause your HVAC system to wear out faster and reduce your furnace’s lifespan. You’ll find yourself replacing your furnace with a new one much quicker than anticipated.
