HVAC Cleaning: What You Cannot See
Making your home a healthier place to live may be the most important reason for annual cleaning and HVAC maintenance. In fact, the air in your house may be less healthy than the air outside!
We have all seen tiny particles of dust floating in the air when the sun shines through a window. Of course, we can all see dust “bunnies” under and around the furniture. But, it is what you cannot see that could be a bigger problem, especially for those who are sensitive to dust or allergic to pets. Without HVAC cleaning, certain materials can collect on air filters and cooling coils in your air-handling system – a perfect place for bacteria and mold to grow.
Consider the problems that may arise from:
- Bacteria
- Smoke
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Dust
- Mold
These types of particles may collect in your air ducts and HVAC equipment and could make it into the room air. Therefore, a professional HVAC cleaning on an annual basis can save you money and help keep your family members healthier.
Additionally, a properly installed air cleaning system, as part of your HVAC system, can improve indoor air quality further and may even be able to remove 90 percent or more of airborne allergens from the air your family breathes every day.
Save Your Dollars with HVAC Cleaning
Homeowners may think that regular HVAC cleaning does not make that much difference. However, allowing dirt and grime to build up on the air-handling coils and in the ducts of your system can increase your heating and cooling costs by as much as a third. Air leaks and blocked air paths may also add to energy costs in a major way.
That is why you should call a professional for equipment inspection and to see if your system is heating and cooling your home efficiently.
Get Ready for Summer Now with HVAC System Cleaning
It is easy to put off HVAC cleaning when the heat and humidity of summer seem months away. However, when the St. Louis temperatures climb into the 90 degree range it is important to have a reliable, efficient cooling system.
A bit of attention to that system in the spring can help prevent difficulties and breakdowns later. You may not eliminate all the issues but a majority of problems can be avoided when you consult with an experienced HVAC contractor.
