(937) 269-5059Homeowners in Dayton, Ohio often wonder if air duct cleaning is a worthwhile investment. After all, you probably don’t give much thought to your air ducts, and you likely don’t notice if they are dirty. However, there is evidence to suggest that cleaning your air ducts can make your HVAC system run more efficiently, and help you identify specific problems you may be unaware of. Check out this list of signs to watch for to determine if your home could benefit from air duct cleaning from Allied Services, Inc.
Signs of Pests
Take a quick peek inside your air ducts and check for signs of insects or rodents. You may notice bodies of insects or rodent droppings, and this is a good sign that they need to be cleaned out. Signs of these pests could mean that dead insects and/or rodent droppings are circulating in the air in your home. They could also be a sign that you have nests in your air ducts that need to be cleared out.
Musty or Moldy Smells
If you notice a musty or mold smell coming from your HVAC system, you may have a mold infestation in your air ducts. Mold is caused by trapped moisture in your ducts and could be very damaging to your HVAC system as well as your health. Any signs of mold should be treated immediately.
Duct Obstruction
Check out the ducts and vents visible in your home. Do they have a significant amount of dust or debris built up? If so, it may mean your ductwork is dirty and needs thoroughly cleaned.
New and Unexplained Allergies
Finally, if someone in your family is suffering from new, unexplained allergies, it may be time to check out your air ducts. If you’ve explored every other avenue and can’t find the source of the allergy illness, cleaning your air ducts may help.
