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.

Twintech replaced our aging furnace and air conditioner recently. I highly recommend this company. Their quote was competitive, they were on time and respectful of our home and extremely professional. From the salesman to the installers and the owner who followed up afterward to ensure we were satisfied, we are very pleased with the service. We are looking forward to working with this company for all of our HVAC needs for the years to come. Excellent workmanship and service!

We wanted to get our AC replaced as it was 22-years old and added to this our furnace was costing more and more to repair. So, we decided to get both the furnace and AC replaced.
After going through a few quotes and product reviews we decided to go with Twintech. The three-men crew arrived early in the morning, wasted no time and got to work right away. By 2:00 pm, they were all done. Ive found their work to be top notch and they were completely professional. I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction both during the progress of their work and at end.
I have pleasure in recommending Twintech to anyone who is looking to get their furnace or Ac replaced

Our air conditioner died On a Saturday and within hours Dave came out to take a look and discuss replacement/repair options.
The new air conditioner was installed on the Wednesday. The new unit was installed quickly. The installers were friendly and cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a slight leak around the furnace that night and they came out the next day and fixed the issue. It has been working great and is quieter than our previous unit.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend TwinTech.

I contacted TwinTech to replace my 20-year old A/C. Dave, their service rep, promptly replied and was at my home within 2 hours. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't try to upgrade or oversell their A/C units but suggested the best fit for my small 1000 feet bungalow. Although this was during a heatwave and very busy, they were able to fit me in 2 days later. The TwinTech crew installed a 1.5 ton Ducane A/C unit that is now running smoothly while maintaining a constant cooling temperature. The crew were very courteous, professional and efficient and I will definitely recommend TwinTech to family and friends. I much appreciated your great service.

TwinTech was a pleasure to deal with from the estimate through installation. We replaced a 28 year old a/c unit with one recommended by TwinTech's sales representative Dave who took the time to go over the product with us and answer any questions. The warranty is for 10 years parts and labour and they will complete the registration for you. Installation was by Greg (owner) and Mitch and Spencer who were quick and efficient and left everything clean and tidy.

Very professional, from the sales consultation and inspection to the final installation. Met every expectations we had for the job. A local business with great client support. We highly recommend. Twintech is a blue chip! Thanks!
