Duct Cleaning

Out of sight, out of mind—right? The inside walls of your air ducts are hidden for the most part. But once your ductwork gets dirty, it can make your home less comfy. Accumulated debris in your air ducts circulates every time your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment cycles.

Duct cleaning ensures healthy indoor air quality (IAQ). It removes the presence of:

• Dust
• Mold
• Airborne allergens
• Pest dropping

Contaminants like pollen, dander, and mold can trigger allergies and asthma, according to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC). Duct cleaning is a great way to remove them when paired with routine maintenance and regular HVAC filter changes.

California Indoor Comfort Inc is pleased to promote healthy air for our neighbors in California. Call our Fresno, CA, office with questions about heating, cooling, or IAQ—your comfort is our priority.

How Often Do I Need My Ducts Cleaned?

You can prevent your ducts from getting dirty by having them professionally cleaned once every two years. It’s also a good idea to get them cleaned more regularly if they’ve been contaminated by the following: 

• Flooding or Plumbing Leaks

Has your Fresno, CA, home been affected by flooding due to inclement weather or a burst pipe? Let California Indoor Comfort Inc join your cleanup crew. We’ll clear out any mildew or mold growth in your ducts that may have happened as a result. 

• Cigarette smoke

The tar from tobacco smoke leaves residue on just about every surface it comes into contact with—walls, carpeting, furniture, and more. Ducts are no exception.  

• Indoor construction

Construction crews wear masks and cover furniture for a good reason. Indoor excavation produces many byproducts that are harmful to inhale, including the dust from wood, silica, and drywall. Duct cleaning is vital to prevent this powder from being recirculated throughout your home.

How Do I Know If I Have Dirty Ducts?

Take a quick look at your vents—how clean do they look? If they are noticeably dusty, what you see is likely only the tip of the iceberg.

Another telltale sign is respiratory symptoms, especially if household members have allergies or asthma. This can be an indicator of poor IAQ.

Symptoms include:

• Runny or itchy nose
• Coughing or sneezing
• Clogged sinuses

How to Protect Your Indoor Air Quality

Duct cleaning is great—but it’s also essential to have a maintenance plan. Seasonal checkups for your HVAC equipment have many advantages:

• It keeps your equipment running at peak efficiency, reducing utility bills.
• It extends the lifespan of your HVAC system.
• It reduces the number and frequency of repairs.

Your specialist will perform critical maintenance tasks that help preserve IAQ, including:

• Changing your HVAC filter
• Cleaning your AC, furnace, or heat-pump
• Checking for refrigerant leaks
• Inspecting for carbon monoxide (CO) leak risks (i.e. cracked heat exchanger)
