While maintenance on the main heating and cooling unit takes place every year, the home owner seldom thinks about the ductwork that supplies the forced air to each room. In fact, there could be contaminants in the ductwork that is causing issues for family members. Here are some situations that call for contacting a Duct Cleaning Service and arranging for the ductwork to be flushed.
When Was the System Last Cleaned?
One sure sign that the time has come to call a Duct Cleaning Service does not remember when the ducts were cleaned last. If the present home owner purchased the property five years ago and has never had the ducts cleaned, there is likely plenty of residue to be found in the system. A professional can take a look at what is happening in there, then choose the right agents to get rid of any build up found in the system. Once the task is complete, the home owner can set up a schedule to have the ducts flushed every couple of years.
Something Smells Rotten
The fact is that all sorts of pests can find their way into the duct system and die there. That means as the forced air passes through the system, it flows directly over those decaying carcasses. The result is that the unpleasant scent from those dead rats and other pests will be found all over the house. The only way to eliminate the problem is to have the ductwork thoroughly cleaned. Once the job is finished, the home owner will notice a marked difference in the way the home smells.
Respiratory Issues
It seems that everyone in the house coughs more when the heating and cooling system is in operation. The origin of the problem is likely a build up of mold and other contaminants in the system that has reached a critical stage. Since the quality of the air in the home is having an adverse effect on the health of those who live there, the only smart move is to have the ducts cleaned.
