Duct Cleaning in Alamo Heights
Over the years, many things can accumulate in your ducts, including small animals. The dim, warm environment is the perfect home. After you contact an exterminator to remove a living creature from the ducts, place a second call to us.
Rodents and other pests can infiltrate your ducts through gaps, cracks, and holes. As a result, your ductwork may contain unwanted nesting material, food, and waste products, which you don’t want circulating in the air. You’ll need the ductwork repaired and thoroughly cleaned.
Dander, dust, pet hair, pollen, volatile chemicals, and other pollutants become airborne when the HVAC operates. The fan pulls them in through the return air vent. An air filter may trap them, or they might pass through and end up in the ducts. Afterward, they may settle on the ductwork or continue their journey, floating out a room’s air vent.
Moisture buildup inside the vents is another potential source of harmful particulates in the air. If moisture collects in the ductwork, it creates a perfect environment for mold and mildew. Spores are then distributed throughout the home with the conditioned air.
If enough dirt or debris accumulates in the ductwork, it can narrow the air passages. Obstacles in the ducts diminish the force of the conditioned air. This reduction means the HVAC system has to run longer to maintain set room temperatures, which costs you money.
Here are some duct cleaning benefits:
We recommend duct cleaning every three to five years and after any significant indoor renovation. Unless contractors cover all the vents, dust from the project will end up in the ducts.
