Air Duct Cleaning in Denver

Colorado is a very dry state, with an average annual relative humidity of only 36%. Since these conditions are so dry, dust tends to remain airborne and is drawn into the ventilation system. This means it settles and is trapped within your ducting systems after being sucked into the return side of your furnace.

Indoor dust can come from the outdoors, plants, and remodels inside your home. Other sources of dust that will collect inside your home include dead skin shed by people, pet hair, fibers from carpets and upholstered furniture.

There is a continuous cycle of airflow within your home. Over time, dust bypasses your furnace filter. Particles of dust, allergens, and other debris cling to the walls of your air ducts.

As those particles of dust gather in your HVAC ductwork it builds up reducing airflow and makes your furnace and AC system work harder. This ends up costing you more on your energy bill to heat and cool your home. Not to mention the dust and particulars you are circulating throughout your home every time your furnace and AC blower motor turns on.

Pet Dander and Pet Hair In Your Ducts

Pet hair and ducts do not mix well. Both pet hair and pet dander pose a huge risk to the integrity of your HVAC system and specifically your ducting. If you have a dog or cat, an animal that sheds, you should be having your ducts cleaned at least every six months if not more.

Hair from the animals can collect quickly in the ducts and blower motor of the furnace and begin to harbor bacteria. This can quickly cause breathing and lung issues in the home for you and your pets. Clogging in the furnace blower motor often happens from pet hair. Have you ever looked at the underneath of your vacuum at home? Imagine that hair and dander getting stuck inside your furnace’s blower motor. This would likely cause it to be blowing the pet hair into your duct for the second round or have it fail prematurely.

Home Remodels

After a remodel the last thing you might think of is cleaning your ducts, but it is an extremely good idea. Home renovations generate many contaminants like dry wall dust and mudding. Whenever a wall in your home is cut into, taken down, or erected the amount of drywall dust that enters your system is astounding. That drywall dust now becomes recirculated into your home at least 5 to 7 times per day according to the HVAC Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Association.

Allergies

As spring gets close in Colorado you might hear the sneezing, coughing and see the red itchy eyes of your family in your home. It’s always commonsense if you have allergies or are sensitive to the changes in the seasons to get your ducts cleaned regularly. The constant rotation of air through your HVAC system not only pushes more of these irritants through your home but begins to gather them in your ducts as well.

Some ways to know that your ducts might be the culprit of your allergies are:

• Have your ducts ever been cleaned when you lived at your home?
• Is your asthma and allergies not well controlled even though you take your medicine?
• Do you notice your symptoms heightening when you turn on your HVAC system?
• Does your house collect dust even though you clean it regularly?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it would be a good idea to at least call Absolute Electrical Heating and Air and request a duct cleaning consultation.

In the worst case, there might be debris from rodents and cockroaches in your ducting system. If you notice any of these pests in your home, we would recommend a full duct cleaning immediately.

We spend over 90% of our lives indoors according to the EPA.gov. It’s important to keep the air circulating in your home as clean as possible. Your ducts can house extreme amounts of dust, dander, and harmful microbes. Even near the registers of your furnace outlets, you can see the dust that begins to form in your ducts. This is just the beginning of where the dust settles and the smallest portion of your whole HVAC system

Most homes in Colorado are not getting their recommended duct cleaning. This can cause irritation for the homeowners or occupants as dust buildup is one of the main triggers of asthma and nose infections. Most homes might not have even had their homes cleaned since they were built. Imagine that your ducts have dust from the 1960’s in it!

There are some safety benefits when it comes to cleaning your dryer lines. Your dryer lines do not have a big diameter so the lint, debris and dust can build up easily to clog the system. This can lead the dryer to overheat and break down. It can also cause a serious incident like a house fire.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 16,000 house fires are caused each year that originate in the dryer system. While lint is annoying, it can cause even higher problems like house fires because it is very flammable.

We use a duct cleaning system that scrapes and removes debris and dust clumps that might be stuck to the interior of your ducting, not just the dust that has settled. We then vacuum out all the debris and replace all vent registers, covers and pieces to your HVAC system.
