Almost every home has a heating and/or cooling system to maintain a comfortable temperature, regardless of outdoor weather. Heating and cooling systems push air through the various rooms of the home in a series of pathways called air ducts. Although many people may not think about their air ducts, over time, those pathways can become dirty and filled with contaminants. Dirty air is spread through the home causing health issues and musty smells. Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fort Wayne IN will clear out the air pathways so that those in the home will have clean air to breath again.
A visual inspection will reveal signs that an air duct needs professional cleaning. Open the vent and shine a flashlight into the duct opening. Excessive pet hair and dust are clear symptoms that the air duct is dirty. Any sign of mold within the duct should be taken seriously and indicates a professional cleaning is needed. Signs of pests or rodents within the duct system also need to be taken care of quickly.
There are other less obvious signs that an air duct is dirty. Unexplained respiratory symptoms may actually be due to breathing dirty air. Individuals allergic to mold may have sneezing, itching, and congestion. Asthma symptoms may also be triggered by mold in the duct system. Even individuals who are not allergic to mold may experience fatigue, headaches, or breathing difficulties from mold exposure. In addition, a dirty ventilation system will cause heating and cooling systems to work less efficiently. It may take more time and power to heat or cool the home.
A clean ventilation system means clean air in the home. There will be less debris to dust off of furniture and vacuum off of the floor. Allergens and other irritants that can affect health will no longer be pushed into the air from the duct system. Odor causing particles will be removed, making the home smell clean and fresh. The heating and cooling systems will just work better when they have a clean duct system to push air through.
