Why You Should Include Duct Cleaning On Your Spring To-Do List

Are you worried about your home’s air quality? Plenty of air-purifying products boost air quality, but have you considered duct cleaning? This simple service keeps your ductwork free of pollutants and helps you breathe the cleanest air possible. Here are three reasons to make duct cleaning a priority for your Madison, MS, home this spring:

Stop Toxic Particles from Circulating

After months of heating your home, the air ducts have collected a lot of toxic particles. All the pollen, dander, dust and other contaminants inside the ducts have nowhere to go inside the sealed system. So, when you turn on your air conditioner for the first time, they push through your vents and get circulated into the home. Spring gives you the perfect opportunity to clean the ducts because there’s usually a short gap when you’re not heating or cooling your home.

Prevent Microbial Growth

Microbial growth doesn’t do you any good. It’s a toxic substance that causes respiratory issues and other illnesses when inhaled. Yet, most people don’t realize they have microbial growing in their home’s ducts. It develops when humid air leaves behind moisture that turns collected dust into microbial. Cleaning the ducts during the spring gets rid of any microbial that grew while heating the home over the winter.

Manage Seasonal Allergy Symptoms

Seasonal allergy sufferers often spend more time indoors when flowers and trees bloom in spring. They keep the windows closed to prevent outdoor allergens from getting in the house. That’s why it’s so important to make sure none of these toxins are in the ductwork. Clean the ducts to make sure you don’t make your allergies worse .
