Members of our community have likely heard the sentiment that it’s good manners to clean up for guests. This often leads to tidying up countertops and common areas before their arrival, but what about the things you can’t see? As time passes, your air ducts can develop dust and mold, impacting the air quality of your home.
Cleaning ducts isn’t just good for guests though — it also promotes better health for those living on your property. Not to mention, well-maintained ducts also grant better comfort as they transport air from your heating and cooling units.
Our team at Honeycomb Heating & Cooling is here to help you maintain a healthy and comfortable home environment by providing services to protect your ductwork!
If your home uses a central air conditioner or heater to maintain comfortable conditions, this means that your home has ductwork. Often made from aluminum or galvanized steel, ducts serve as a pathway within your walls or attic.
As your heating or cooling system produces air, it will flow through the ducts and enter your rooms through vents. Maintaining your ducts is an important part of making sure your home experiences effective comfort and healthy air quality.
Our team of experts is ready to spring into action when you need us! Our technicians are highly skilled and thoroughly trained, empowering us to understand the intricacies of your ductwork. This means you can trust us to restore your ductwork and deliver efficient airflow to your rooms.
When your AC gets its command from the thermostat, it’ll pump cooled or warmed air into your home through your vents, but before this air can enter your rooms, it’ll have to journey through your ducts.
If your AC ductwork is damaged with any rips or tears, not all of the air will be able to arrive at its intended destination. Instead, some of it will be lost along the way. This is bad for your HVAC system, as it will have to work harder to help you achieve maximum comfort. Our team can correct the problem with skilled repairs that eliminate holes and gaps.
When surfaces in your home go too long without cleaning, you may notice a layer of dust forming. This is especially noticeable when it comes to cabinets or home decor, but even places out of sight — such as your ducts — can become dusty. When your ducts are dirty, the air flowing through can carry the debris into your home, worsening the air quality.
Additionally, your ducts are at risk of developing mold or mildew due to the moisture involved with running your cooling system. Once mold forms, it can spread throughout your ductwork. This also puts your indoor air quality — and the health of your household — at risk.
Repairing and cleaning air ducts are great solutions if the damage is limited to certain areas. However, when the problem is extensive, you may find duct replacement to be worth your while. Through our replacement services, we can remove outdated, damaged or inefficient systems and install a new and improved path for the air to travel through.
This can help you achieve your desired temperature in a more efficient and cost-effective way. If you have any questions about whether a replacement is right for your home, get in touch with our team. We can perform an inspection and provide our professional opinion!
Cleaning, repairs and AC duct replacement are all separate services, but they’re closely intertwined. This is because if the initial problem faced by your ductwork isn’t corrected, it can transform into additional issues.
What may start as a damaged duct can lead to it becoming dirty as tears let in debris. Additionally, torn ducts or those with mold and mildew growth require professional attention if you hope to keep your current ductwork in place for years to come.
If repairs and cleanings are not performed as needed, more areas will become impacted. Avoid untimely replacements and reach out to our team to address ductwork concerns.
