Reduce the impact of allergies and asthma with expert duct cleaning to clear the air in your home.

Do you have concerns about your indoor air quality? Think about what's in your home's air ducts. The ductwork system in your home delivers and removes air from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It might be time to clean your air ducts if you notice visible mold, musty odors, or excessive dust. Dirty air ducts force your heating and cooling system to work harder to keep your home comfortable. Even worse, dirty air ducts can contribute to health issues such as allergies and asthma.

Have you been dealing with a pest infestation or mold growth? Do you suffer from asthma or allergies? Now is time to take action!

What is air duct cleaning?

Air duct cleaning describes the process of removing bacteria and other contaminants from your HVAC system. We use powerful brushes and vacuums to eliminate the impurities in your home's ductwork system and enhance your home's indoor air quality. It's important to keep your air duct system as clean as possible, especially if you or your loved ones have allergies.

Signs you need to clean your air ducts

You should have your air ducts cleaned every few years as a preventative measure. However, there are also specific situations in which air duct cleaning is recommended and can be beneficial for your home and your family.

When should you clean your air ducts?

You should consider having your air ducts cleaned by a qualified air duct cleaning company in Central Iowa if any of the following situations apply to you:

  • Moved to a New Home

    You should consider having your air ducts inspected and cleaned by a professional if you've just moved into a new house. This is particularly important if there's excessive dust, pest problems, visible mold growth, or if the previous residents had pets.

    Over time, contaminants build up in a home's air ducts. As a result, the HVAC system is unable to efficiently circulate fresh air throughout the home. This leads to less air circulation and rapid mold growth. Some people may experience respiratory problems, especially people who are sensitive to mold spores or dust mites.

  • Visible Mold

    Air duct cleaning is also recommended if you notice any kind of visible mold growth to eliminate the spores and reduce the likelihood that they will circulate through your home. What's more, having a professional clean your air ducts may help alleviate some asthma symptoms if they are related to mold spores.

  • Unpleasant Odors

    If you have noticed a musty or stale odor in your home and cannot locate its source, you may want to consider having your air ducts cleaned. This will improve the smell in your home and help prevent allergies. A dead rodent or mold could be the source of unpleasant odors in your home.

  • Pest Infestation

    Rats and mice might take up residence in air vents where they can hide and build nests. Mice use the ducts to travel through your home undetected. Dead mice in your ducts can cause a bad smell throughout your home. One option is to place traps in each vent in your home and check the traps daily until you've eliminated all the rodents from your ducts. However, it is essential to also remove droppings. If you notice any signs of pests in your home, air duct cleaning is critical to keep these contaminants from spreading throughout your space. Our air duct cleaning experts clean your HVAC system and ductwork to remove contaminants and reduce odors.

  • Excessive Debris Floating in Your Home

    Have you noticed more debris floating around your home than usual? It's important to have your air ducts inspected for any blockages that cause debris to get trapped. Once the buildup or blockage is located, an air duct cleaning specialist can remove debris trapped in the air duct and clean contaminants from your HVAC system.

  • Energy Bill is High

    Dirty heating and cooling systems aren't as efficient when it comes to creating the ideal temperature in your home. This can lead to higher energy costs for you because it takes more energy and time to circulate the air throughout the space. You can improve the performance of your HVAC system and lower your energy bills by having a professional clean out your air ducts.

  • Smoker in Your Household

    If anyone in your household smokes, it may be beneficial to have your air ducts cleaned to remove the buildup of smoke in the ventilation system.

Can you clean your air ducts yourself?

The issue with cleaning air ducts on your own is that you can't be as thorough as the professionals. You are more likely to leave dust and other contaminants in the ducts, increasing the likelihood that your ducts will still be dirty even after you've cleaned them.

If you want to get the job done right the first time, it's crucial to entrust a trained and certified duct cleaning expert like Iowa Duct Defense. Learn more about problems associated with cleaning your air ducts yourself and the advantages of hiring a professional duct cleaner.
