Air Duct Cleaning and What to Do After

Super Standard, March 13, 2015

Air ducts filter air throughout our homes and businesses. They are essential for maintaining the right temperature. They pulse heat through our buildings on cold winter nights and can keep rooms cool on hot winter days. A lot of air circulates through these ducts so it is important that this is the best air possible and that it is kept that way.

You should have your air ducts cleaned by a professional every few years. Debris and dust build up in these air ducts and can block them and also be blown out through them. This is not good for your building or the air inside of it.

A professional air duct cleaning service is one way to go about keeping your air ducts in the best shape possible. They have the correct machinery and equipment to safely clean your air ducts, as doing this yourself may cause harm. A good service like Super Standard Heating will show you with a camera the results of air duct cleaning. You will also notice these results through the quality of the air being circulated after the ducts are cleaned and you may find that you are using less energy to heat your home. This is because blockages can often prevent heat from getting out of the air ducts, therefore you have the temperature up higher and the heat on for longer in order to get a result that a clean air duct could achieve much faster.

Once you have your air ducts professionally cleaned, you need to inquire about maintenance after air duct cleaning. A decent service provider will be full of knowledge and be able to give you a lot of tips relating to maintenance after air duct cleaning.

One thing you can do as part of maintenance after air duct cleaning is to check your vents regularly. By doing this simple task, you will spot any potential blockages or suspicious looking debris before it builds up. Just unscrew your duct and have a look in with a flashlight. You can also vacuum the entrance to the duct. While this won’t achieve a deep, professional clean, it will still stop some dust being blown out through it, always a benefit. Keep in touch with your air duct cleaning service and they will be able to advise you as often as you need on maintenance after air duct cleaning.
