All of the air in your Bozeman, Montana, home passes through the air ducts several times every day. The ducts are responsible for circulating the heated air during Montana’s frigid winters and the cooled, dehumidified air during the hot summers. Air duct cleaning is a process that uses powerful vacuums to remove particles from inside the ducts. There are many benefits to scheduling this professional service every one to three years.

Reduce Airborne Allergens and Irritants

If you sneeze, sniffle and cough more in your home than anywhere else, airborne allergens are a likely cause. Dust and debris build up in the ducts over time. With each heating or cooling cycle, the particles enter your living spaces. Duct cleaning removes these allergens and irritants, reducing your allergy symptoms and making breathing easier.

Create a Cleaner and Fresher Home

Dirty air ducts allow layers of dust to build up on every surface in your home. This makes it more difficult for you to clean, since new dust is continually blown into your rooms. Buildup in the ducts may also lead to musty, stale smells. Clean ducts reduce the frequency of dusting and interior cleaning you’ll need to do. Your home’s air will smell fresher, too.

Improve Airflow and HVAC Efficiency

Buildup in the ducts hinders airflow from your heating and cooling system. The system has to cycle more frequently and work harder when the ducts are dirty. Duct cleaning restores adequate airflow, reduces HVAC wear and tear, lowers energy use and boosts the HVAC system’s efficiency.

If you’re like most people, you spend the majority of your time indoors. Much of that time is in your home. By scheduling regular duct cleaning, you can breathe cleaner, healthier air. You’ll also benefit from the improved comfort, energy efficiency and effectiveness of the cleaner HVAC system.
