Using too much energy: Excess dust and debris can put undue stress on heating and cooling systems. If your furnace or air conditioner is working harder, it is using more energy. This increases expenses unnecessarily, and decreases the potential life of the heating and air units themselves. Ensure your heating and cooling systems at your home or business are operating at peak efficiency; replacing an inefficient furnace can save up to 50% on energy bills.
Potential fire hazard: The average household produces around 40 lbs of dirt, dust, debris, dander, dust mites, mold spores, pet hair, etc. per year. This excess debris not only builds up on the heat exchanger and is a fire hazard, but also encourages critters such as dust mites, pathogens, molds, and other health and allergen triggers. As well, if you find that your clothes are not drying, that could mean a blocked dryer vent, which can be a major fire risk. Clothes dryers are responsible for approximately 16,000 fires per year. Even if you clean your dryer filter every time, particles can still build up in the hose which vents to the exterior of the house or dwelling.
Other people's cells: Each person sheds roughly 30,000 skin cells per hour, and those cells get circulated around up to 60 times per day through the vents. Just imagine how many skin cells are generated by every person inhabiting your home or workplace every day; so finding a duct cleaning company might move a little higher on the list! No one wants to breathe in their co-worker’s dander.
You never know who or what was there before you: It's one thing to be breathing in dirty air from people you know, but who or what was in there before you? And think of not only what other people may have brought in, but all the things floating around in the air outside – from pesticides to harsh chemicals and solvents. That might make you want to call the health and safety hotline and ask when the last time the office vents were cleaned.
Pets & fur babies at home or work: We love our pets, but their dander, fur, and pests like fleas etc. are a large portion of the contaminants circulating throughout the vent system. And the quantity only grows with the addition of each animal. Pets at home and work contribute to reduced indoor air quality; pets are often more sensitive than humans, so for the sake of you and your fur babies, consider regular duct cleaning.
There's dust no matter how much you clean: Older homes and offices are not as tightly sealed as their newly constructed counterparts. Do you wipe off the counter in the morning and find by evening there is a new layer of dust? This isn’t because of a lack of cleaning, but simply due to the amount of dust seeping in from the exterior. With outside pollution making its way inside, consider hiring a duct cleaning company to help you maintain the cleanliness of your home.
General cleaning can be a pollutant itself: Carpets, plastics and cleaning supplies can entrap particles in the home. Look for a company that has certified IAQ specialists (Indoor Air Quality), especially in the workplace where harsh industrial solvents are used. Commercial Duct Cleaning is a great option to help your workplace generate healthier air.
Bonus Reason: You have a fireplace or: Wood burning fireplaces throw soot and micro particles into the air. Not only does it make its way down the vents to be blown around your home, but the fine wood silt can make breathing harder and cause irritation.
Bonus Reason: Your workplace has a warehouse: Warehouses by their very nature create and stir up a lot of dust. Increase the health of your employees by maintaining optimal air quality.
Check the HVAC company: Are they industry-certified and insured? How about their staff? What service options do they offer? Do they only do ducts or do they have a large service list? Consider longevity – how long have they been in business? And their equipment should be up to snuff. They should be coming in with something substantial, like a vacuum truck or a large wheeled-in unit.
Maintaining, tuning up, or replacing furnace and air units, testing indoor air quality, refreshing the space with environmentally friendly odour-removal equipment, and everything involved in ensuring a well-functioning duct system is a large-scale operation.
