Is it really worth getting your ducts cleaned? Is duct cleaning worth the cost?
Have you ever wondered what really happens when you get your forced air duct work cleaned? Some people just show up with a shop vac and a dust pan… and other will do a better job.
Watch this video… then draw your own conclusions:
I often overhear people saying that cleaning your duct work is a waste of money. So… do those same people ever vacuum the carpets or rugs in their homes? Ever wash the bathroom floor? Ever clean the tub and toilet?
If you find that your dining room table is covered in dust just a few days after you cleaned it, chances are you need a serious duct cleaning.
Duct cleaning is just like any other cleaning we do in our homes. Airborne particles, dust, mold, and pollutants are “sucked” into out duct work every day. Many of the pollutants just sit along the inside our duct work. When we heat or cool our house, air moves through the duct work and picks up that debris. Some of it is filtered though our furnace filter and some of it gets re-distributed throughout the house.
