Regular and proper air duct cleaning in Village, VA is a necessary part of homeownership. You wouldn’t go years without vacuuming or cleaning your windows, would you? Your floors would be a mess and your windows would be disgustingly dirty. Even though you can’t see what’s up in your air ducts, it’s pertinent to your and your home’s health to have them cleaned at least every three to five years. However, in some cases they should be cleaned more often. Here are some situations that merit professional cleaning of your ductwork.
Scheduled cleanings
As mentioned above, professionals recommend having your air ducts cleaned every three to five years. These regular cleanings will ensure your HVAC system is running at proper efficiency, which will save money on your monthly electric bills. Clean air ducts will also help keep your home free from potentially harmful contaminants lurking up in your ducts.
Upon move-in
Congratulations! You just bought a house. The sellers probably kept the main floors of the house spotless throughout the selling process, but unless they hired an air duct cleaning service, the house isn’t truly clean. Before you begin the whole move-in process, contact us to thoroughly clean your air ducts and ensure a clean home.
After building a house
If you’ve opted to build a house instead of buying one, you’ll still need to have your air ducts cleaned before moving into your new home. While the construction crew certainly cleaned up their mess before finishing the job, they most likely didn’t clean the ducts. That means all of that sawdust and other debris from construction will still be sitting in your ductwork.
After remodeling a house
Along the same vein, if you’ve recently remodeled your home in any way, you probably have a lot of sawdust floating around in the air. Be sure to call a professional after your project is finished to make sure your air ducts are free from any post-construction contaminants.
If you have pets
Standard three-to-five-year air duct cleaning service may not be often enough if you have pets, especially long haired animals. You know how much your furry friend sheds—don’t let all that hair accumulate in your air ducts and clog your vents.
If you have a rodent problem
This one may be kind of gross to think about, but rodents and other animals could be roaming around free in your air ducts. These critters not only spread animal hair and dander—they also leave droppings everywhere they go. Animal droppings aren’t just unpleasant—they can also cause illness if their fumes are inhaled. If you’ve had a recent rodent infestation, the animal dropping problem is greatly increased. Be sure you call us for air duct cleaning in Village, VA after you’ve hired an exterminator to get rid of your infestation.
If any of the above scenarios apply to you, or if it’s been a few years since you’ve had your air ducts cleaned, contact King’s Cleaning Service, Inc. to schedule an air duct cleaning!
