Air Duct Cleaning Service
Properly cleaning a ductwork system is essential for maintaining a healthy and efficient HVAC system. When ductwork leaks air and returns inadequate airflow to the HVAC unit, your system will be less energy efficient. To make matters worse, filthy or infested air ducts will fill the air you breathe with pollutants, allergens, and dirty airborne particles.
Fortunately, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning can professionally clean your ductwork. Our technicians are available around the clock to come to your location, examine your ductwork, and restore your system to pristine conditions.
What Is an Air Duct?
Air ducts consist of a network of tubes that connect HVAC units to the air vents throughout a house. Usually made of sheet metal, HVAC systems pull in air through an intake vent and then cool or heat that air.
Why Do You Need Air Duct Cleaning?
There are many upsides to air duct cleaning, including:
- Ensuring your indoor air quality (IAQ) is healthy
- Eliminating allergens and irritants
- Removing unpleasant odors
- Improving airflow and HVAC efficiency
- Mitigating dirt and dust circulation
- Avoiding respiratory illnesses
Get Rid of Dust Mites and Reduce Allergies and Asthma Issues
Over time, air ducts gradually accumulate allergens, contaminants, and micro-organisms, such as:
- Pet dander
- Bacteria
- Pollen
- Mildew/mold spores
- Vermin/insect droppings
These airborne particles should be immediately removed, especially if you suffer from respiratory problems, severe allergies, or asthma.
Increases the Efficiency and Lifespan of Your HVAC System
When ductwork is backed up with dust, dirt, and grime, the airflow between the heating unit/air conditioner and the vents will be negatively affected, causing your HVAC system to work harder, longer, and less efficiently.
Refreshes and Improves the Air of Your Home
The airborne scents of cleaning agents, paint fumes, mold, cigarette smoke, dust, and dirt can all get trapped in air ducts. When a furnace or air conditioner runs, these odors will circulate throughout the house. Thorough air duct cleaning can significantly freshen up the air in your home.
A Well-Maintained Air Duct Saves You Money in the Long Term
According to ENERGY STAR, about 20% of an HVAC unit's air supply is lost to leaky, clogged, and damaged vents and ducts. This forces your HVAC system to produce more hot or cold air to satisfy your thermostat’s settings, causing monthly energy bills to increase.
Keep Away the Bugs and Vermin
Don't let vermin and bugs live freely inside your air ducts. After all, several diseases are associated with rodent infestations and bugs. If you have an infestation in your ducts, it should be professionally treated as soon as possible. After taking care of the infestation, we will also examine your ductwork to repair broken seals, patch up holes, and replace faulty vent protectors.
