We all lead busy lives that don’t always give us much time to focus on air duct cleanliness and other HVAC components. It is, however, well worth the time to check these items sometimes, since they have a substantial impact on air quality, which affects respiratory health.

The good news is that you neither have to panic, nor spend lots of time cleaning them yourself. We can do it for you: much faster and cost-effectively. Before we do that, we’d like to explain the concepts of air duct sanitizing and disinfecting.

Overview of Cleaning, Sanitizing, & Disinfecting

First, what exactly is the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting?

Cleaning refers to everything we do to rid your air ducts of visible foreign materials such as dirt, debris, and dust. These are the obvious items that are sometimes large enough to cause a clog, and potentially disrupt HVAC efficiency.

Then, you’ll hear duct cleaners use terms like sanitizing and disinfecting. Those are pretty much synonymous and involve using chemical disinfectants to eliminate microscopic germs (bacteria, mold, fungi, etc.), and reduce odor. A mere visual inspection won’t always tell whether you have a problem with bio-organism overgrowth, but they’re a major health risk whenever present.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Filthy Air Ducts

Do you live with someone who suffers from airborne allergies or serious respiratory illness? If so, then air duct cleaning should be a chief priority.

Clogged air ducts, which are often dark, damp, and humid (especially in Florida), are the perfect breeding ground for mold and harmful bacteria. Therefore, you should approach cleaning air ducts with the same urgency as sanitizing your bathroom or other enclosed areas.

When to Clean Air Ducts

What are the giveaway signs that your home or other property could use a little cleaning?

• You looked into your air ducts and noticed lots of debris or even patches of mold overgrowth.
• The airflow seems inconsistent or your HVAC equipment runs less efficiently.
• You finished a home renovation, shook up plenty of dust, and need to get it out of your air ducts.
• The air smells musty or odorous.
• Your home suffers from excessive dust.
• You bought a home and don’t know the last time the air ducts were cleaned.
