Dust is something we all try to get rid of. It is unsightly and can even cause health problems. What about the dust and debris that has built up in your air ducts? It may seem like an overwhelming task to clean, but an air duct cleaning in Troy can easily be done by our professionals at Complete Detail Cleaning & Restoration. The result? A cleaner, fresher, healthier home for you and your family!
Methods of cleaning air ducts will vary, but typically each method involves a number of things. First, specialized tools, like brushes, will be used to dislodge dirt and dust. Then, a high-powered vacuum will clean all of the debris in the air duct.
When contemplating getting air ducts cleaned, many homeowners ask: how did the air ducts get dirty in the first place? A recent study has shown, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created each year through everyday living. Take a moment to let that sink in. Forty pounds of dust. This dust isn’t just staying in your air ducts, it is floating around your home. You may notice dust settling on your floor and furniture, but in reality, much of the dust remains in the air of your home.
This dusty air is then pulled into your HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Even if you are diligent about changing your air filter, it will not be able to completely remove all the contaminants. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of dust and debris in the duct work. So think about it, if you go 1 whole year without cleaning your air ducts, it is possible to have 40 pounds of dust inside. This fact alone has moved many to call and set up an air duct cleaning appointment. If you feel the same, why not give us a call? Our team is always available for questions or concerns regarding our services.
The overall health of your family is impacted by the air they breathe. Think of your air ducts like the lungs of your home. When air ducts are clogged with dirt, dust, mold and other debris, you and your family are breathing in contaminated air. This can lead to allergy-like symptoms like coughing, sneezing or runny nose.
Another benefit is your home will be cleaner. That means less dusting, and more time doing the things you really love. Unpleasant smells and odors will be removed, leaving a fresh, clean smell. Additionally, having air ducts cleaned leaves your system performing at peak efficiency, which will save energy and thus be more cost effective.
Most homes will pay anywhere between $300 and $500 for a full air duct cleaning. This all depends on the size of your home and how many air ducts you have. If we break it down to price per vent it comes to around $35. If you have any questions regarding price, call us at (937) 915-0138.
The length of the appointment will depend on how many vents you have getting cleaned. The number of vents depends on the size of your home. Another thing to consider is the company you hire to clean air ducts. How experienced and efficient is the team? Will two technicians come to clean? A single-family home’s air duct system usually takes between two to four hours to clean.
When professionals arrive to clean your air ducts, they should take precautions to ensure your home does not get messy from the air duct cleaning. They may lay down drop clothes or other barriers to ensure dust does not wind up on your floor. They should also sweep if there is any remaining mess after the job is complete. Ultimately, it’s possible to create a mess during an air duct cleaning in Troy, OH, but a qualified professional will respect your home.
