Don’t DIY Duct Cleaning!

HVAC-technician-cleaning-inside-ducts

All kinds of stuff can get into your air ducts. Then, when your heat or AC comes on, whatever’s lurking in there can get blown out your vents and end up in your lungs! Do you know what’s inside your ducts? When’s the last time they were cleaned? When you need air duct cleaning in Chisholm, MN, don’t try to do it as a DIY project. Rely on the experts! Here are the reasons why.

This is an image of an HVAC technician cleaning ductwork and vents. The headline reads DIY duct cleaning? Think again here's why it's Risky.

1: Minimize Stirred-Up Dust

One risk when air ducts get cleaned is greater dust and mess distribution at first! If you try to clean ducts out willy-nilly, you’ll just end up coughing, blowing your nose, and trying to get grit out of your eyes. And since some of that mess is very irritating, including pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and particles from wildfire smoke, it can cause or worsen respiratory issues.

Duct cleaning experts have specialized tools and tactics, and the training to do the job well. Having your ducts cleaned by qualified HVAC technicians means keeping stirred-up dust and mess to a minimum, so it will actually improve—not worsen—your air quality and respiratory wellbeing, right from the start.

2: Achieve A Complete Clean

With the things you have around the house, and your limited knowledge of ductwork, how clean do you think you’ll be able to get things in there all by yourself? Again, our experts and their tools can do a far superior job, getting the whole system thoroughly clean.

3: Protect Your Ducts

Did you know that the average American home’s ductwork system is very leaky? Cracks, holes, and other damage cause the loss of 30% of the air Americans pay to have heated and cooled. That’s not a worst-case scenario. That’s the average! Many homes are leaking even more of the expensive hot and cold air their furnaces and air conditioners create. 

DIY duct cleaning is an easy way to add to this problem, increasing holes and leaks, causing damage inside your ductwork that you won’t even be able to see. And in the process, you’ll open up pathways for even more dust and mess to get into your ducts from the space around them! Insulation, sawdust, rodent droppings and more are in your walls and attic where the ducts run. Keep your ducts in good condition with expert cleaning.

4: Access Expert Knowledge

When your duct cleaning is done by someone who knows all there is to know about HVAC systems, they’ll be able to give you useful feedback and tips. Is there mold in there? They’ll tell you what to do about it. Are there already big holes and leaks? They’ll have the best recommendations. And they can answer any questions you have.
