Spring is often the busiest time of year for gutter cleaners. After a long, cold winter in Chicago, many homeowners feel the need to brush in and out of the home, open the windows, and smell the fresh smell of spring. How about winter dirt stuck in air ducts?
All the dust, pollutants and bacteria that enter your home during the winter months are kept inside. It is often said that the air duct acts like the lungs in your home. In other words, what the air duct breathes in is eventually released. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) estimates that dirty air ducts circulate air and pollutants in the home 5-7 times a day. Over time, this pollutant recirculation can form in the HVAC system.
Opening windows and cleaning them thoroughly is the best way to remove air in the home, but dust from ducts cannot be removed without the help of a professional. Here the Four Seasons sewer cleaning is available.
Our Air Duct Cleaner uses special tools to clean air supply ducts, air supply ducts and restore air ducts throughout the house. For a typical family, duct cleaning can be done every 3-5 years. However, many families choose to clean the ducts annually because of the unique benefits of the home, in addition to improving the air quality in the room.
No more allergies
One of the biggest reasons why homeowners choose to clean ducts in the spring is because of the increase in pollen and other allergens in the air. Dust, mold, pollen, pet skin, and even insects and rodents can cause havoc in your home.
Anyone who has had an air allergy knows that dealing with them is painful, especially when your internal environment is the cause. I don’t want dry eyes, itchy throat or lumps while watching TV with my family!
If the allergen is stuck in a duct, it may be impossible to eliminate allergy symptoms while resting at home. Dusting, sweeping, and vacuuming are helpful, but you need to identify the cause of the problem to see results.
Cleaning the ducts once a year with Four Seasons prevents the spread of allergens throughout the house when the air conditioner is turned on. By eliminating the root of the problem, the indoor air in your home is more likely to cause an allergic reaction in the spring.
The lasting odor is gone
The lesser known advantage of duct cleaning is the ability to reduce the long -term odor of your home. Every home has its own unique smell, and your ducts can contribute to how your home smells to your family and guests.
Bacteria and mold are common in gutters and can cause an unpleasant odor. Small rats, like rats, sometimes get into the canal and leave feces and even die inside. The smell of the dead rat will never be forgotten!
Pet hair, cigarette smoke, and cooking odors can all clot in the gutters and cause a strong and hard to remove odor. Anyone who has burned something in the kitchen knows how hard it is to remove the smell from the house. Duct cleaning removes pollutants that cause an unpleasant odor from the duct.
Reducing energy consumption
When the air conditioner is turned on, cold air circulates in the duct system and spreads throughout the house. If the duct is clogged with dust or debris, the HVAC system will need to use extra energy to push air into the duct.
ENERGY STAR estimates that approximately 20% of the air passing through the ductwork is lost due to leaks and duct problems. Dirty ducts force the HVAC system to work hard to cool the house, increasing energy usage and monthly billing. Cleaning ventilation air duct in the spring will keep your system efficient and keep your energy charges low in the summer.
Cleaner house
As mentioned above, ducts can accumulate dust, mold, pollen and any number of contaminants that invade your home. As air circulates in the duct system, dust and dirt also circulate in the duct. If you’ve noticed that your house is suspiciously dusty every week, that’s probably the reason.
