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.

Very impressed they arrive to quote even though I had forgotten to call them back to confirm date & time. They showed the day before installation to deliver the unit. Returned the next day as promised at 9am. Project was completed in a professional manner. They even fixed a few things that they noticed were not installed correctly, or to code by previous heating & air contractors we had at our residence before. Would recommend this company to everyone!

Greg removed old oil furnace and oil tank from basement relocated new Napoleon propane furnace to allow duct work to be rerouted to a much more suitable location. Moved air conditioner to the new furnace. Dave recommended two available grants to assist with cost. They kept to their original quoted price which was substantially lower than a competitors for the same furnace and work. They completed the work as stated when stated and left the area clean and tidy. We are very pleased with the outcome.

We had Grant and Greg Dainty quote to replace our 20 yr old furnace. I have known them for years and have had other jobs done by them ( AC and Pool Htr). The price was very reasonable and the job was completed in one day.

TwinTech was the right choice. Our consultation with Dave set the tone. Professional and knowledgeable, we even received a follow-up call within hours of our install completion, wow! TwinTech arrived as scheduled to install our A/C unit. Within minutes of arrival Greg noted and explained a few out of code faults on our furnace installed by another company, problems fixed, thanks TwinTech. Greg, Grant and "Subaru" Pete were meticulous start to finish. Highly recommended!

Twintech replaced our aging +20 yrs old Furnace & AC with the variable high efficiency Napoleon Furnace matched with the Goodman AC. Sales guy ,Dave was great, gave a no pressure estimate, explained about the Government Rebate program which they took care of completely including arranging the home energy audit. On the scheduled day Greg and his team arrived on time, did a great job and completed the same day , extremely professional and courteous, cleaned up everything , tested the system, Greg took his time to explain the setup. Very impressed with the Napoleon Furnace 9600 which did a great job in maintaining a comfortable temperature last winter and now with the hot weather the Goodman AC cooled the house in much less time than the old AC unit could ever. From start to finish Twintech were great and have no hesitation in recommending them 100%.

The Twintech team did an excellent job installing our new Goodman air conditioner. They were polite and professional. Greg was knowledgeable and clearly experienced. Thank you Twintech for bringing our cooling system up to current regulations. Job well done!

Dave from TwinTech was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough in the buying process. He helped us to identify the best furnace for our home and our budget. When we needed a new filter a year later and seemed to have a problem finding the right one, I called Dave up and he delivered a filter to me the next day! The cost was on par with other retailers, but it was this unexpected personal service that really was impressive. The furnace? Works like a charm.

Imagine, it's 5 minutes after the midnight countdown New Year's eve and the furnace quits. We called TwinTech fully expecting to leave a message and actually spoke with Greg, one of the owners! We had an immediate repair early the next morning & a new furnace within the week. We have entrusted TwinTech with all our home HVAC service needs for over 6 years. That's why this week with an opportunity to purchase a new BBQ, we called them 1st to see about a gas line install. It's chicken on the grill tonight! They are efficient, reliable, honest, hard working, and -- attentive is an understatement.

Wonderful customer service, starting from the job quote (Dave), to the clean install, to the follow-up. Twintech is a small company which installed my Napoleon furnace, A/C, John Wood tank, and ran the line for my gas dryer. The installation was completed as promised in one day. The work area was kept very clean, and they even took care of my old rental tank. The professionalism and wonderful customer service is second to none. They completed all of my rebate paperwork, and now I'm getting $2000 back! You will not be disappointed if you hire this company for your project.
