The Most Common Misconceptions About HVAC Cleaning

If your home uses an HVAC system, you should regularly clean it. Best practice is cleaning it at least once a year and doing sporadic cleanings whenever you notice dirt or bad smells in the system. However, many people don’t clean their HVAC systems because of misconceptions. This article will aim to clarify some of these misconceptions.

HVAC Ducts Stay Clean

One common mistake a lot of people make is thinking their HVAC unit stays clean throughout the year. While switching out your filters helps keep your unit clean, it still gets dirty over time. Proper maintenance and conditions will keep your ducts clean for a while. But eventually, you’ll need to clean them.

It’s Safe To Ignore Cleaning

Many people believe that a dirty duct isn’t something serious and can wait. However, the ducts control the whole building’s air quality, which suffers if they’re dirty. Additionally, mold and dust in an HVAC unit can lead to major health problems, including coughing, shortness of breath, nausea, and illness.

It’s Easy To Clean

While a duct may seem like a large and flat surface with little to no hidden compartments, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to clean. Mold removal and ductwork are best left to indoor air quality services who know how to do the work without putting themselves and others at risk.

Only Some Types of HVAC Systems Need Cleaning

Another common misconception people have about HVAC cleaning is that you only need to clean certain types of systems. All HVAC ducts can and do get dirty over time and with use, so it doesn’t matter if the system is only a dehumidifier or AC.

Knowing the truth behind HVAC cleaning will help you stay safe in your home and prevent many of the common symptoms of dirty ducts. Regularly cleaning your system is vital, and staying vigilant of the signs that your system is dirty will help you be safe.

Until the development of the Aeroseal duct sealing technology, there was no efficient or notable effective method of sealing remote leaks in HVAC ducts. In the past, we have crawled attics feeling and looking for leakage, but only if it was accessible. Aeroseal changed all that! We can now seal ductwork from the inside-out! With documentable results! Signs of duct leakage can include particularly hot or cold rooms, dark lines on the edges of carpets, temperature changes between floors, uncomfortable rooms due to different humidity levels, dirt streaks from supply diffusers or severe allergies when inside. Residential duct leakage is prevalent and a significant source of HVAC energy waste across the country. Aeroseal can help lower energy bills (on average, a homeowner can save between $300-$1000 or 5% to 30%) Aeroseal can reduce temperature variations between rooms and floors, reduce humidity in rooms and fix hot or cold rooms issues. Aeroseal can help improve indoor air quality by reducing pollutants, allergens and dust entering the air stream from wall cavities or attics.
