Whether you’re deep into spring cleaning or just starting your to-do list, make sure to add duct cleaning to your checklist. Spring allergies are coming, and your home’s air quality plays a huge role in how you feel during allergy season.
Let’s explore the many benefits of duct cleaning and why spring is the perfect time to schedule yours!
🌸 Fresh Air, Clean Air – Spring means opening windows and letting fresh air in while getting rid of stale winter air. But along with that fresh air comes pollen, allergens, and dust buildup—which your ducts trap and circulate throughout your home.
💨 Improve Indoor Air Quality – When was the last time your ducts were cleaned? If you’ve noticed excess dust on furniture or dirty air vents, your home’s air could be circulating contaminants like:
✔️ Pollen & pet dander
✔️ Mold & mildew
✔️ Viruses & bacteria
✔️ Tobacco residue & chemicals
These contaminants can worsen allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues, making duct cleaning an essential step in improving air quality.
🏠 Sticky Spring & Summer Air – As temperatures rise, dust inside your ducts can become sticky, creating a breeding ground for mold.
🐾 Pet Fur & Allergens – Pet hair and other irritants get trapped in your ducts, making symptoms worse for allergy sufferers.
💰 Save Money on Cooling Costs – Clean ducts help your HVAC system run efficiently, reducing summer cooling costs.
Air duct cleaning is a simple but effective process that removes built-up dust and contaminants from your system. Here’s what to expect:
✔️ Cleaning register covers – Removes dust, grease, and nicotine residue.
✔️ Deep cleaning of air supply – Includes blower, coils, condensation pan, and return air supply.
✔️ Vacuuming of air ducts – Removes accumulated dust, allergens, and debris.
✔️ Optional sanitization – Leaves behind a fresh, clean scent.
Spring is the best time to schedule a duct cleaning, as you won’t have to worry about turning off your heat or air conditioning during the service. Plus, cleaning on a rainy or cool day keeps pollen levels down, giving you the freshest air possible.
