Over time, your ductwork system may begin to accumulate dust, dirt, lint, hair, mold, insect nests and other debris. This is especially true after your heating system has been idle for any length of time. When you first turn it on in the winter, you’ll experience that unpleasant blast of hot, dusty air. A dirty duct system may continue to blow dust particles and other contaminants into your home’s indoor air throughout the heating season.
A thorough duct cleaning by the professionals at Ace Hardware Home Services is a convenient solution to your problems with excessively dirty ducts. Ace Hardware Home Services is certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), which means we follow the association’s code of ethics and will adhere to strict NADCA standards for cleaning and refreshing ducts.
Our Air System Cleaning Specialists have passed the NADCA certification exam, which demonstrates detailed knowledge of cleaning processes, HVAC design and NADCA standards. They also follow the association’s guidelines for continuing education by attending regularly scheduled seminars.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends cleaning ducts when:
- There is a noticeable amount of mold present in the duct system or on system components.
- Ducts are infested with insects, rodents and other vermin.
- Ducts are clogged with dirt and other materials, and are releasing substantial amounts of contaminants into your interior air.
Duct cleaning can also be a valuable addition to your heating system’s annual preventative maintenance routine. A clean system runs better and more efficiency, and is less likely to break down because of filters that get dirty too quickly. While cleaning ducts, your technician can also inspect your ductwork for loose-fitting components or leaks that could cause dangerous carbon monoxide to escape into your house.
