Have you thought about your home’s ductwork lately? Chances are, the answer is no. You can’t always see it, but it has such an important job in the function and comfortability of your house! It keeps the cool, air-conditioned air moving through in the summer and the warm air during the cold winter months. However, dust and other dirt or debris accumulates over time in and around the ducts. And if that isn’t cleared away regularly, your indoor air quality may be impacted. That means potential allergies, respiratory issues, and sometimes even illness can happen.
August is a great time to clean your ductwork! This is something that our professionals at Specialty Heating and Cooling are well-versed in, too. Cleaning your ductwork helps eliminate overpowering odors while removing dust, mold, dirt, and pet dander buildup. The result is cleaner air, rid of air pollutants.
