The Benefits Of Air Duct Cleaning

March 25, 2015
The Benefits Of Air Duct Cleaning

Many people do not realize the importance of air duct cleaning in maintaining their home’s heating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Clean air ducts will increase the longevity of an HVAC, and reduce energy costs. It also means there will be less need for dusting and other home cleaning chores. Having an HVAC that is free of dust, equals a cleaner home environment for you and your family.

Clean Ducts Increase Efficiency

Dirt that circulates through your HVAC reduces the efficiency of the system. Lower efficiency is caused by the build-up of dirt on coils and that means the system has to work harder to cool or heat your home. Removal of dirt and debris will increase your system’s efficiency by up to 40% and that adds up to significantly reduced energy costs. It also means that your system will last longer since it won’t have to work as hard to circulate air through your home; air is completely recycled through a dwelling about 5 to 7 times a day.

Improve a Home’s Air Quality

Air duct cleaning can be helpful in maintaining a home’s good air quality. Not only does dust circulate with cooled or heated air, other particulates such as insect debris, pet dander, and mold may become airborne and move through your home with the dust. Such particulates in the air can cause allergy and asthma attacks, especially in people who are particularly sensitive to such substances.

It is especially important to have your air ducts inspected after the completion of remodeling or any kind of construction in the home. Dust caused by construction work may settle in your ducts. This dust can also reduce your system’s efficiency and impact your home’s air quality.

Our technician David M and field support Michael S performed a maintenance and health assessment on my old furnace, and were able to help me figure out the best upgrade options. I appreciate their attention to details, the thoroughness of their work and evaluation, and their very professional and cordial attitude. I highly recommend and appreciate the professionals at Brody Penell.

4.8.2024Marco Ayala (technician), Juan U. (apprentice) and their supervisor Ashton were courteous, patient and thorough. They reviewed the problems I have with my Carrier unit and explained why I needed it replaced. I was given the choice of 3 new models with price and labor for each. They offered to contact my HOA’s management company for the roof installation and will arrange a city inspection after the work is completed. I would not hesitate recommending Brody Pennell to family and friends.5.1.2024Update: Edgar Hernandez, an installation tech, came today to adjust the settings in my Honeywell wall panel and was as polite and knowledgeable as the previous techs. More good news: I wasn't certain if BP's electrical contractor(s) only dealt with large projects or they are also available for individual homeowner concerns. Edgar assured me I can call them for electrical work.Every time I phoned BP the automated answering system placed me on hold but someone always picked up my calls within 30 seconds. BP sent emails confirming appointments. The day of the appointments I received emails and texts with the full name and photo of the techs (which addresses security concerns for a single person living alone) and links to a map so I could track the progress of the techs with estimated arrival times.
