Improving the air in your home or office is essential to your health and has become a great focus of our Fort Worth air conditioning and heating company. Regular air duct maintenance is crucial because it removes unwanted particles such as dirt and dust. These particles can cause asthma, allergies, and other health concerns for you and your family. Brown Service Company offers residential and commercial air duct cleaning to help prevent allergens and irritants from polluting your home or office’s air.
Our professional HVAC technicians use an advanced and safe process to clean your duct systems
A: First, locate all of your home’s vents and clear any furniture, rugs, or other objects out of the area, so they don’t get dust on them. After you remove the vent cover, get a vacuum and suck all the dust, dirt, and debris out of the duct. (If the vent is high up or otherwise in an awkward spot, you may want to get someone to help hold the vacuum.) Next, wipe down the inside of the vent with a rag and soapy water. You should also check for mold; if you find any spray with vinegar or mold killing solution and then scrub it away. After you let the duct dry out, replace the cover, and put everything back.
A: Several things might indicate your ducts are getting dirty. If you smell stale or musty odors when the furnace or air conditioning runs, that’s one indicator; another is that your furnace filters quickly become dirty after changing them. If you notice excessive dust that reappears on your furniture or walls shortly after cleaning, that’s another indicator of trouble.
Other problems that might indicate you need to clean the ducts include low airflow from your vents and unexplained headaches or congestion. Even if you don’t have any of these warning indicators, you should have your ducts cleaned regularly if anyone in your home has allergies or asthma.
A: In most cases, no. If the problem is low airflow or spreading dust, simply cleaning out the duct will almost always be sufficient. If you have mold, however, it depends on the type of duct—fiberboard ductwork will probably need to be replaced to eliminate the infestation, while metal ducts can just be cleaned. If you have minor leaks in your ductwork, then minor repairs should so the trick.
For significant problems, however, you might need to replace the duct. You’ll also need to replace your ductwork if you’re replacing your air conditioner or furnace, to ensure that the ducts are a good match.
If the ducts don’t meet the necessary specifications of a heating or AC unit, then the warm or cool air can’t get to you, which defeats the purpose.
