When to Clean Your Air Duct System

02/14/2014 Back To Blog

The debate regarding the need to clean your air ducts continues to exist. Air quality testing has neither suggested nor condemned the need of air duct cleaning in the home or business. There is not enough evidence that backs either argument on the matter. Yes, dust particles are prevalent indoors; there are many possible causes. A dirty HVAC system may be one of them.

Possible Causes of Indoor Dust

Dust comes into the home through several ways. It often comes in from the outdoor through open doors and windows. We also track it in on our shoes and clothes as we enter the home from the outdoors. It goes right into the carpet and furniture as we make contact with it. Dust can also be created through indoor activities such as smoking, cleaning, cooking, or simply high volumes of traffic in areas of the carpet where dust often dwells. All of these elements can create just as much dust as dirty air duct filters. 

 

Possible Health Risk

Studies by the EPA don’t pinpoint an unclean ventilation system as the actual cause of allergies and other health problems in the home. This is because dust particle from air ducts attaches itself to surfaces in the home such as walls and furniture. It does not necessarily cloud into the living spaces. That is why it is difficult to suggest that dirty air ducts are the culprit of health risk.

 

Definite Reason to Clean

No matter what side of the debate you find yourself on, there are definite reasons to consider having your ductwork cleaned. After having an inspection done and you find mold growth inside the sheet metal or other surrounding components, it is best to have them cleaned. Locating the mold in the heating and cooling system is not always an easy task. Sometimes it is not always recognized. Air duct cleaning Granada Hills recommends having any biological growth found in your ducts tested for mold.
