What Happens When I Clean My Air Ducts?
Posted On: September 21, 2017
You probably have asked yourself at one point or another if you should have the air ducts in your home cleaned. You have heard somewhere that it is a scam but others claim that it’s worth it.
In this post, we’d like to give you some information that could help you decide whether you might benefit from having the air ducts in your home cleaned or not.
There is no evidence supporting the notion that air duct cleaning will help you avoid health issues or that it will make your HVAC system more efficient. However, there is evidence that dirty and grimy heating and cooling coils, air handling units, and motors can affect your HVAC unit’s efficiency.
There is also evidence that routinely checking your air ducts can help detect problems that can help you take steps to make sure your HVAC system is running as it should.
When Should You Consider Air Duct Cleaning?
Accumulated dust and large obstructions in the ductwork are the two major concerns of homeowners who are considering getting their air ducts cleaned/ remember that the easier it is for the air to flow through the ducts, the easier it is for the system to bring that air to your home.
Any significant blockage in your air ducts can get in the way of the airflow could mean higher energy costs. Here are some specific signs you should watch for:
Duct Obstruction
Is there a significant amount of debris and dust collecting in your HVAC ductwork? It can be a sign that it is time to have your air ducts cleaned.
Bodies of Insects
If there are any insect bodies or rodent droppings in the air ducts, they should be cleaned. By-products from these can circulate in the air inside your home, which can be harmful to your health. Of course, they mean there are rodents and insects nesting or living in your air ducts.
Mold Infestation
Is your HVAC system reeking of a musty or moldy smell? Do have a reliable HVAC technician to come and inspect your air ducts. Trapped moisture causes mold development, and that can be very damaging to your HVAC system. Mold should not be ignored and treated seriously.
Allergy-Related Illness in the Family
If a family member is suffering from an allergy that can’t be explained and you have already taken other precautions and decontaminated the rest of the house, you might want to consider having your air ducts cleaned.
Remember that Service Maintenance is Key
As a homeowner, you should request a qualified HVAC technician from TwinTech Heating and Cooling to evaluate your system if there’s noticeable poor airflow. Your air ducts, if properly installed and sealed seldom need cleaning, but if you notice any of the signs above, make sure that you only hire a seasoned professional who can do it right.

Greg came over at 9:30pm to rescue my daughter and I from a horrible experience with Enercare that evening. He was professional. Kind. And got us what we needed quickly and at an afford price.

Installed a great hot water heater when our old one failed. When my furnace died during cold weather they showed up quickly and my house was warm before my wife got home. :)

I dont usually right reviews but when you receive service like this I felt it was a must. Honest and fair. I Have 4 children and on Xmas eve my furnace stopped working and a gentleman came out and got me up and running so at least we would have heat for the holidays. As promised he would replace my furnace early in the new year. The job was completed on time, great price for quality furnace and extremely clean and professional job. Would have never known anyone was in the house. Not a spec of dust or mess from lugging out an old rusty furnace. If you have any ac or heating concerns twintech is your only option. I was royally impressed with and Im sure you will be too.

This Company is terrific. No high pressure sales and they deliver exactly what they promise to deliver. The new furnace is great and we now get consistent temperatures throughout the house. The installers were great and very efficient and completed the work on schedule on the promised day. Everyone representing this company was very aware of their presence in our house and worked diligently to keep our home as uninterrupted and as clean as was humanly possible. We did not need to go around the house to clean up after they left, what a nice surprise. We have had follow up by the company to ensure everything is to our satisfaction. How unusual in today's environment. The impression left by Twintech is that they care about us and our home. This is so refreshing in today's high tech world. Out thanks go out to Dave in sales and G, G, and P (the installers).

The entire process was prompt and professional, from the initial quote to the installation of the new furnace. The team installed the new furnace and removed the old one in approx. 4 hrs. The guys were very knowledgeable and gave me lots of information. I have used Twintech before for a new A/C installation and new I was in good hands.

The overall experience dealing with this company was great from start to finish when getting a new furnace and ac this year. Everything was clearly explained to us during our consultation with Dave and there were no surprises with added costs. The work was done as expected and their response time to inquiries were very timely generally within a few hours or less. They are all very professional and was a pleasure to do business with them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest quality professional service.

From the initial contact we had an excellent experience with this company and all its personnel. Dave Gergley was an excellent, helpful, sales person and solicitous of our needs. He recommended only what was required and did not up sell or make any suggestions for products that we did not need, such as a new A.C. He explained the rebate process and basically outlined how to get the best furnace at the lowest price. When it was time for installation, the technicians could not have been more considerate, careful, attentive to detail, obviously committed to safety and optimum functioning of the appliance they were setting up. We have been perfectly satisfied with the functioning of the furnace and all aspects of acquiring it from the initial contact with Dave through to the installation process and follow ups inquiring about our satisfaction. Also they initiated the rebate process and contacted the appropriate inspection agency to carry it out. We highly recommend this company for all heating and cooling needs and we will contact them again when it is time to replace our A.C.

Twintech was excellent from the initial quote and throughout the install. They had a competitive rate for hot water tank and ended up buying the tank from them, had them remove the old tank and install the new one. The day of install they were prompt and out in about 2 hours. Professional , courteous really great guys. We took a look at my 30 year old furnace and they were able to offer some suggestions for future there too.
