If you live in a home with a central air conditioning system, you also live in a home with extensive airflow ductwork. Over time, these ducts will collect dirt, bacteria, dust, debris, smoke, and perhaps even mold. Since central air conditioning can become so unobtrusive that it becomes nearly invisible, many homeowners completely forget that there is ductwork hidden within the walls and ceiling of their home. Meanwhile, the air conditioning is blowing fragments of all that nasty stuff that’s stuck in your ducts right through your home.
What can you do to keep the air flowing through those ducts nice and fresh? One of the best things you can do is to enlist the services of a professional duct cleaning company. They’ll connect a giant vacuum cleaner to your HVAC to flush out the contents of the ducts. Once that’s done, they’ll likely spray an antimicrobial or antifungal solution that will keep things from sticking or growing in your ductwork.
