Newly-acquired homes are full of excitement, but they also come with a long list of tasks that must be completed in order to ensure the home is clean, safe, comfortable, and fully functional. Property owners usually have their property inspected by an examiner to determine if there are any damages or repairs needed. In the HVAC industry, these experts only look at the unit's operation. An air duct cleaning company can provide an inspection and maintenance of the ducts and vents of the new house to ensure the air is clean and breathable.
Whether you're moving into a newly constructed home or you're buying a resale property, having the ductwork cleaned prior to moving in is one of the most important tasks to take care of.
The duct system accumulates dirt, dust, and other pollutants. All these factors reduce the energy efficiency of the unit and result in higher energy bills. When you move into a new home, you are unaware whether the previous owner followed a cleaning schedule, or when the unit was last cleaned. In order for the furnace and the air conditioner to run efficiently, it is imperative to have the ducts and vents cleaned.
Smoking and pets may have been part of the previous occupants' lifestyles in the house. Some duct cleaners have even discovered food items, toys, diapers, or needles down the vents of households with children. In addition, if the house has been unoccupied for a long time, the ducts can accumulate not only dust, but also bacteria, pollen, and animal droppings. There is a good chance that construction debris, such as drywall dust, can infiltrate the ductwork of a newly built home. In order to ensure a healthy and breathable environment, it only makes sense to have the ducts cleaned.
Mold and mildew can grow easily when there is a leak in the ductwork or moisture trapped there. Mold and mildew can trigger allergies as well as other respiratory problems. In order to remove mold and other contaminants, a duct cleaning service will inspect and thoroughly clean and scrub the ductwork.
The last thing you would want when you move into a new home and turn on the air conditioning is a musty and unpleasant odor. Contaminants such as dust, mold, and other contaminants cause these foul odors to emanate from the system. Prevent any unpleasant surprises by having the ductwork cleaned.
An inspection and cleaning of the ductwork by a professional duct cleaning company before moving into a new home can give the homeowner peace of mind. All blockages will be removed to ensure efficient and proper functioning of your home's system so you and your family can breathe cleaner and fresher air.
