This time of year residents throughout the East Valley & West Valley are opening windows to let the fresh air in after a short cold winter. And spring cleaning is on the mind — but what about the air ducts that you will soon rely on (once again!) to maintain the comfort of your home? Before you know it, it will be time to turn to the air conditioning in your home, and as soon as you do, the stale and dust-cluttered air will be flowing throughout the house again.

So, rather than go through and dust everything yet again, why not solve the root of the problem — the air ducts in your home. Air duct cleaning is actually about more than simply the dust factor, if you doubt that ask any allergy sufferer. The dust, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores and countless other molecules that accumulate in your air ducts during throughout the year will undoubtedly make their eyes water, nose run and hate everything about Spring (and sometimes Mother Nature in general).

Put the health benefits aside for a moment and think about the cost saving factor for a moment. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 25 to 40 percent of the energy you use in your home for heating and cooling is wasted — because of the built-up contaminates in the heating and cooling system. Even though you change the furnace filter regularly, the HVAC system is likely to get dirty through normal use. (That doesn’t mean not to change the filter — that helps tremendously!) The HVAC system is clean, it works more efficiently and reduces the amount of energy needed, thereby saving you money.

Rather than putting duct cleaning off for months or years at a time, think about it as part of the normal spring cleaning routine. Contact us today for an appointment and save yourself money — on energy and maybe even on tissues too.
