Why Duct Cleaning is Best Left to the Professionals

November 8, 2020

After a while of regular use, your ducts are going to need some cleaning. This is true even if you have the cleanest habits and home in the world! When many people see the price of a technician’s cleaning quote, it can scare them into thinking that they may as well do it themselves. While this is a normal thought process, it really isn’t recommended. A complex job, in more ways than one, duct cleaning should only be done by professionals who have the certifications to back it up!

There are many parts to your duct system
Your HVAC system has a lot of parts to it, as simple as it may seem. Those parts could include an air exchanger, grills, an air cleaner, coils, and more. Unless you are a licensed specialist yourself, you may not know how to safely clean the pieces, replace others, and more. It’s complicated technology that can cause harm and damage if used incorrectly! It stands to mention, too, that this harm might not only be to the home and its ventilation system, but also to all those who live in it!

Breaking debris loose takes training and precision
The actual cleaning focuses on scrubbing the dirt out of your duct work, but you can’t just stick your arm in there with a floor scrubbing brush, or a mop or something. The debris is often caked on and there can even be mold. You have to know how to safely and as easily as possible break free all of the debris from your ventilation system. This is not exactly knowledge that you can learn off of a few YouTube videos. Not only does it put your health at risk if you do it wrong, it can also damage your system in an expensive mistake!

The proper cleaning tools are hard to come-by normally
Another reason why you shouldn't hire just anyone to clean your duct work, or take a DIY approach, is because the tools used to clean your duct work quickly and professionally aren’t available at your closest Walmart. From the cleaners to the vacuums to the trained eye, these all come from specialized stores and experience that the average homeowner just isn’t going to have.

Professional cleaning is fast and simple
While the cleaning process may be complex as far as all of the details that go into doing it properly, hiring the pros is going to take less from you as far as time and energy. They’ll be experienced enough to be in and out in no time at all, leaving your ducts looking brand new.

You have enough to do as it is! Don’t add more to your to-do list by trying to hire cheap cleaners and then have to find actual repair professionals instead when they break something they’re not hired to clean properly. It ends up being stressful and expensive when you could have just done it right the first time! You deserve to have the simple, cost-effective and results-driven professionals come in and transform your duct work in a simple, efficient cleaning.
