Eight Reasons You Should Have Your Ducts Cleaned

Schedule Now

Clean air ducts result in improved indoor air quality and a more efficiently running HVAC system.  But how do you know if your air ducts need to be cleaned? According to the EPA, there are a few signs to look for when considering having your ducts professionally cleaned:

 

 

  1. Visible mold growth inside ducts or other heating and cooling system components
  2. Rodents or insects inside ducts
  3. Excessive dust and debris inside ducts

 In addition, you may consider having your ducts cleaned if:

  1. Number of pets in the home
  2. People who smoke in the home
  3. Recent home renovations
  4. Humid weather – which can cause moisture and mold to build up in your ductwork
  5. Overall home cleanliness – more frequently cleaned homes have less dust and debris that can build up in ducts

While it is safe to assume that over time, dust, pollen, pet dander and other allergens will accumulate in your ductwork, changing your furnace filters (is it time to change yours?) and maintaining your HVAC system through regular service check-ups can reduce the need for frequent cleanings. Cleaning your air ducts regularly, no matter when you do it, will help you save money in the long run because your system won’t have to work harder to heat or cool your home. Instead, it will work far more efficiently, resulting in a longer lifespan.
 
If you are unsure of the condition of your ducts, a qualified professional can evaluate whether they need to be cleaned. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) has set standards to help the consumer make sure they are getting the job done right.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
