What Is Air Duct Cleaning?
In the HVAC system, “ducts”, vents and registers span across the home or building to provide the forced air to control the indoor temperatures. In these vents, over time dust, debris, allergens, and other substances can find their way into these vents and accumulate. Duct cleaning is the process of cleaning the air vents in these vents which channel across the entire building.
There are a few methods to clean these ducts, and some are ineffective compared to others; Platinum Air Care utilizes powerful duct cleaning truck-mounted equipment to suction the dirt and debris out after breaking the collection of contaminants loose throughout the duct vents using powerful (but safe) compressed airbrushes, whips, and other methods. We make sure the stuck-on dirt inside your vents is knocked loose and cleaned out.
1. A standard duct that is moderately dirty.
2. The dirt has been pushed to the side to showcase just how much dust has accumulated.
3. After duct cleaning, the same vent is now clean and dust free.
Why Have Duct Cleaning?
There are many benefits to having your ducts cleaned. One of them is the fact that not only does duct cleaning keep your home cleaner, but it also helps with energy efficiency. If you have a home with an HVAC system, then it is important that you take the time to get your vents cleaned periodically.
A dirty system can lead to a restricted or blocked ventilation system, this lowers the HVAC system’s energy efficiency and in certain cases can lead to mold and mildew growth. This can also be hazardous to our health because the air that circulates through your ducts has been contaminated with dust, dirt, allergens, and other allergens. This same air circulates throughout the entire home or building.
Some homeowners do not realize how dangerous this is (Especially with the dryer vents! See more below) until they are shown what has accumulated over time. This is why it's so important to make sure you are getting your vents cleaned on a regular basis - preferably once every 3 to 5 years - by professionals who know how to do a thorough job.
What Are Some Benefits Of Cleaning Your Air Ducts?
Energy Savings - Clean vents will mean your HVAC equipment has less restriction, and won’t have to work as hard to create the same amount of airflow.
IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) - Clean ductwork means less dust will circulate throughout your home or business. This can help reduce the spread of regular household dust and can help keep the environment clean!
Reduces Odors / Smells - Duct cleaning can also remove that “funny house smell” because the culprit could actually be something coming from your ducts!
Fire Safety - Regular dryer vent cleaning is recommended by FEMA (U.S. Fire Administration) as well as many insurance companies to help prevent possible fires. Dryer vent cleaning also is recommended if you notice your clothes are taking longer to dry compared to normal.
Example of Dryer Lint Dust Collection
Dryer vent cleaning not only helps to prevent your dryer from breaking but dries your clothes more efficiently - just like when your dryer was new. You may notice that your laundry isn't drying as quickly and determine that either the machine is on the fritz or it's time to invest in some dryer maintenance.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Important
Our London Ontario dryer vent duct cleaning services can help extend the life of your dryer and keep it working in peak condition. But most importantly reduces the likelihood of dryer fires.
2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss. Dryer fire hazards caused by dryer lint are a possibility everyone should be aware of.
The leading cause of home clothes dryer fires is failure to clean them (34%)
More home clothes dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.
Don’t become a statistic - Have your dryer duct vents cleaned regularly!
