With winter thankfully in the rearview mirror and consistent warm weather on the horizon, it’s a good time to start thinking about your home’s HVAC maintenance.
At Frank Lamparelli, we are committed to being there for your year-round home comfort, whether the South Shore is dealing with relentless snowfall, sweltering heat or anything in between. One part of many homes’ HVAC setups that doesn’t get enough attention is ductwork. This part of your home can make a serious difference in your heating and cooling efficiency and the air your family breathes. In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of taking care of your ducts.
Most homes with ductwork use it to distribute both hot air from a furnace and cool air from a central air conditioning system. That means these passageways are used for most of the year.
Over time, ductwork can collect dust, pet dander, debris, mold spores and other airborne contaminants. Each time your HVAC system runs, those particles may circulate through your living spaces, lowering indoor air quality and aggravating allergies or respiratory sensitivities. If moisture develops inside the ductwork, it can also create conditions for mold.
Buildup within ducts restricts airflow as well, forcing your heating and cooling system to work harder to maintain the temperature you want. That extra strain can reduce your home’s overall energy efficiency, inflate your budget and contribute to premature wear on equipment. Routine duct cleaning and maintenance help improve airflow, protect your HVAC system and support a cleaner, healthier home environment for your family.
First off, duct cleaning is not something you need every year. Every three to five years is normally fine. Keep an eye out for dust or grime buildup on vents in your home or rising energy use throughout the year. These are signs you need a duct cleaning.
