Is Duct Cleaning a Scam?

Every day, you turn on your air conditioner or heater in your Rockford area home. This action sends heated or cooled air through your ductwork and into your home. That air passes through an air filter that traps many of the debris that are circulating in the air. Yet, even with the air filter, you may have grit and grime that gets through and circulates in the air. Some of that debris will accumulate in your ductwork, and this can compromise your air quality. Ductwork cleaning helps eliminate this accumulation, so you can breathe clean, fresh air in your home. However, duct cleaning gets a bad reputation because it’s the type of service without visible results. Is this a scam, or is it an important part of keeping your home well maintained and healthy?

Is Ductwork Cleaning Really Necessary?

Unfortunately, most of us cannot see inside our ductwork. While we may be able to see some dust that accumulates near the vents, the mold, dust, and other debris deep within the ducts simply aren’t visible to us. If the ducts seem clear near the vents, you may be wondering why you should spend money on ductwork cleaning.

The reality is that not everyone needs ductwork cleaning. Some homes have systems that do a good job of filtering the air do not have problems with mold and accumulate little dust. However, if you are not one of these lucky home owners, then many contaminants may be hiding in your ducts. Pet dander, dust mites, dust, mold, and even bacteria can be circulating in your home and making your family sick.

So how can you tell if you have a problem? The key to knowing whether or not you need ductwork cleaning is checking your indoor air quality. Sometimes poor indoor air quality is obvious, because your family suffers from allergies or asthma, but at other times, you will need professional help to determine the level of your indoor air quality.
