You might not realize just how much dust, debris, and particle matter is in your air — in part, because your HVAC system works hard to take it out and keep the air inside fresh and clean. All that dust has to go somewhere, though, and that is why regular HVAC cleaning is an important part of maintaining a healthy home, as well as a well-functioning HVAC system. An annual cleaning and maintenance visit should be a regular part of your heating & air conditioning maintenance plan, and the team at Galmiche & Sons can help you schedule cleaning services today.
Removing Dust, Mold, and More
Of course, one of the main culprits for HVAC clogs and slowdowns is dust. No matter how clean a home may be, every HVAC needs cleaning to deal with dust at some point. The more frequently you have an HVAC cleaning done, including replacing dirty air filters, the better your air quality will be. It is easy to think pollution is mostly a problem for outside the home, but everything from mold to cleaning chemicals can cause respiratory problems if left in the air. It is especially important to deal with mold and dust on a regular basis if you have asthma or allergies.
Keeping Pests Out
Bugs and other pests too can make it into your HVAC unit and cause problems by spreading debris, creating clogs, and otherwise being in the way. From spiders to roaches, keeping these pests out of your HVAC system is important. It can be difficult to apply insecticide inside the ductwork and other parts of the system, so detailed HVAC cleaning is the way to go. Plus, HVAC cleaning that involves going through the ducts like this also gives you an opportunity to check for leaks in your ductwork.
Preventing Breakdowns with HVAC Cleaning
Probably one of the most important reasons to get a regular HVAC cleaning performed though, is that dust and clogs can cause your HVAC system to breakdown if left unaddressed. In fact, build up in the AC drain line or on the evaporator and condenser coils can cause a lot of issues for your air conditioner, leading to worse performance, more wear and tear, and even a potential breakdown. Regular HVAC cleaning prevents these kinds of clogs and buildups from doing permanent damage to your unit.
Reducing Energy Bills
Finally, if your HVAC unit is working extra hard to push through dust and debris, you are going to pay more in energy bills too. An HVAC cleaning can keep your system working as efficiently as possible, and cooling your home with less energy. In fact, one of the best ways to boost home energy efficiency is to have HVAC cleanings performed regularly, including changing out dirty air filters and checking for leaks.
