2 Problems That Come With Dirty Ducts

The HVAC system in your Garden City, South Carolina, home helps to regulate the temperature and airflow, keeping your family comfortable throughout the changing seasons. The furnace and central air conditioner connect to rooms in the home via ducts, which keep the air flowing. Over time, your ducts will fill up with dirt, dust, pet hair, dander, pollen, and other debris that accumulates in your home. This buildup in the ducts can cause health problems, including allergies and breathing issues, as well as reduce HVAC efficiency.

Health Concerns

Dirty ducts can lead to a variety of health problems that could impact everyone in your family. The air quality in our homes and offices is often worse than the polluted air we breathe outside. Regular duct cleaning will eliminate common health problems caused by dirty ducts. You might notice allergic symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, congestions, sore throats, headaches, or nosebleeds. If your symptoms disappear when you leave the home, the quality of the air is likely to blame.

Those who suffer from existing breathing conditions, like asthma or COPD, can feel worse effects when breathing in polluted air. Mold can also grow in the ducts when moisture levels get too high, which can cause further reactions to those who suffer from allergies to mold spores. A duct cleaning service may include a treatment with sanitizing spray to kill any traces of mold in the ducts.

Poor HVAC Efficiency

Built-up dirt and debris in your ducts also cause the system to work harder to move cooled and heated air. Without regular duct cleaning, the space for air to flow through the ducts becomes constricted, causing your HVAC system to use more energy to produce the same amount of air. After a duct cleaning service, you may notice an immediate decrease on your monthly utility bill, making it well worth the cost.
