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.

It was a refreshing experience interacting with the Twintech team. From Bob, the sales consultant, who articulated in layman's terms all the options available and reasons for making any selection. This was done without the prevailing pressure tactics so commonplace today.
Before proceeding Mitch, the technician, at our request conducted a service check on our 30 yr old furnace. His report was positive indicating no urgency to replace it. Again no pressure tactics.
Three days after first meeting with Bob, the installation team of Greg and
Spencer completed the installation within the planned time frame.
A very professional, courteous and transparent team which delivered on their promise. I highly recommend Twintech.

I had a really great experience with these guys. The salesman Bob was clearly very knowledgeable about everything to do with heating and cooling a home, spent a lot of time with us going over the details of the job, never rushed us and came back after the install to make sure we were happy. The installation crew was excellent, they covered the floors all the way from outside down to the basement furnace room, kept the place clean, got the work done on time and were very friendly. Ive got 15 years in the contracting/ construction industry and these guys are one of the most professional companys Ive dealt with. Great company!

Reviews for Twintech were good, and they did not disappoint. After an initial visit to discuss the suitable AC unit for replacement, an installation date was available in just a couple of days, and everything was installed without a hitch. Highly recommended

My old water heater quit on me. I called TwinTech. In less than 4 days, I had my new water heater installed and the old one taken away. The whole process was quick, easy, pleasant, and well done. This is the third time I've dealt with TwinTech and I've been satisfied each time.
