Is Duct Cleaning Worth It?

Dirt and dust in ducts

Ducts are one of the few parts of the house that most people almost never have to look at. The only time most people take the cover off their ducts is if they drop something down them and are trying to retrieve it.

However, because of this, ducts tend to sit in the furthest corner of your mind; rarely thought about or given much attention. Ultimately, this means that you may neglect your ducts for years, never bothering to think about what’s happening when you turn your heating on.

During these years of neglect, your ducts are slowly building up dust and debris, and when you turn your HVAC unit on, all this dust circulates around your home.

In fact, did you know that because of ‘dirty ducts’, the air quality inside your house can actually be worse than the air quality outside?

This can lead to many health and allergy issues for you and your family at home.

Right now, you’re probably thinking, “But how bad can this really be? Surely I don’t have that much dust in my ducts.”

And whilst for your sake, we hope that you’re right, we’ve often found that people are amazed by the amount of dust and debris that we actually extract from their ducts.

In fact, consider the scenario.
