Duct cleaning involves cleaning supply and return ducts in your HVAC system, along with components like the registers, heat exchangers, and blower motor. While you may be able to clean some of the components yourself, a professional cleaning gets the entire ductwork system scrubbed and prevents common duct cleaning mistakes and accidental damage. At Monarch Home Services, we take pride in our expertise and will remove all debris, dust, allergens, and smells from your ducts so you can enjoy better indoor air quality.
Professional duct cleaning is only one of the many services we offer. We also install, repair, and maintain furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters, keeping Californians comfortable year-round.
What Are the Benefits of Professional Duct Cleaning?
Should you get a professional duct cleaning? Here are a few air duct cleaning benefits.
Improved Air Quality
A professional duct cleaning immediately improves indoor air quality in your home, getting rid of pollutants and particles you would otherwise breathe in. Poor air quality can make you feel ill or tired and irritate your respiratory system, making clean ducts valuable to your daily comfort.
Fewer Allergens
Common airborne allergens in California include grass and tree pollen, dust, mold, and pet dander and hair. These allergens may cause coughing, sneezing, runny nose, headaches, itchy eyes, sore throat, and even hives. Having your ducts professionally cleaned can reduce allergens in your home, letting you live more comfortably, even during allergy season.
Mold Prevention
Mold growing in your air ducts can cause health problems for you and your family, such as respiratory problems, headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, and dizziness. Mold also makes your house smell musty. The easiest way to prevent mold in the air ducts is to schedule regular duct cleaning.
Less Dusting
Dirty ducts blow dust through the vents and onto your furniture. To eliminate dust buildup in the ducts and stop this problem before it starts, have your air ducts regularly cleaned. Our expert duct cleaners will remove debris before it ends up in your home.
A Better-smelling Home
Dirty ducts disperse bad smells from mold and mildew into every room of your house. With clean ducts, you don’t need to worry about musty odors. Call Monarch to schedule service if your ducts emit a bad smell, and we’ll eliminate it at the source.
Longer HVAC System Lifespan
Clean ductwork means improved airflow, which helps extend the HVAC system’s service life. Better air circulation reduces stress on the mechanical components of your furnace and air conditioner. The system doesn’t have to work harder through debris, so there’s less day-to-day wear and tear on parts like the blower motor.
Improved HVAC Efficiency
Clean your ducts regularly to improve HVAC efficiency. The less the system has to push against blockages, the less energy it uses to operate. Energy efficiency isn’t just better for the HVAC — it’s also easier on your wallet, reducing the amount you’re paying for energy each year.
How Does Duct Cleaning Improve Indoor Air Quality?
Cleaning out the dust, allergens, and other contaminants means they won’t circulate through your house and into the air you breathe. Your family’s health will benefit from Monarch’s indoor air quality services.
Is Professional Duct Cleaning Worth It?
Professional duct cleaning is worth it, especially if someone in your home has symptoms of respiratory problems or allergies, such as coughing, itchy eyes, or a sore throat that worsens when the HVAC system turns on. Duct cleaning is a good idea if you have babies, younger children, or older adults living in your home or if you’ve noticed bad smells coming from your vents.
Professional air duct cleaning with Monarch is quick, hassle-free, and reasonably priced. You’ll notice a difference in your air quality right away.
How Can I Tell if My Air Ducts Need Cleaning?
Every household has unique needs when it comes to scheduling air duct cleaning. It’s recommended to have your ducts cleaned at least every two to five years, but if you live in a dusty area or if someone in your household has severe allergies, you may want to do it more often.
Some other signs your air ducts need cleaning include:
- Dust or grime on your vents after running the HVAC system
- You have pets
- You or someone in your household has asthma or chronic respiratory conditions
- You’ve done renovations or remodeling
- You notice mold, mildew, or a musty smell when air blows through the vents
What Happens if You Don’t Clean Your Air Ducts Regularly?
Scheduling duct cleaning may not be on many homeowners’ regular to-do lists, but if you neglect to have your ducts cleaned every few years, health problems may start to crop up as mold, mildew, dust, and allergens circulate through your home. Dirty air ducts may cause your air filters, furnace, or air conditioner to clog, which strains the system, uses more energy, and results in excess dust in your home.
