In Canada, most people received a telemarketing call at some point from an air duct cleaning business. Back in 2015, there were nine companies identified as making these illegal calls in the Greater Toronto Area. All were given substantial fines from the CRTC. The reality is that many Canadians tune out when they hear the words duct cleaning because of the sheer amount of scam duct cleaning calls they have received in their lives. Keeping the ducts in your home clean is important and can improve sanitation, and health, and save you money in the long run.

What Does Cleaning Your Ducts Really Do?

Air pollution is a serious issue. A vast majority of the world’s population lives in places where there are dangerous levels of air pollution. Air pollution causes conditions such as chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, short-term respiratory infections, and other kinds of lung damage. It can also cause damage to children’s brain development and pneumonia. You may think that the air inside your home is safer than the air outdoors, but it can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Having a good ventilation system in your home that correctly filters out pollution is key to keeping your home healthy. Part of this is keeping your ducts clean.

Improves Home Health

Cleaning your ducts improves the health of your home by removing contaminants that may have attached themselves to the inside of your duct system. Cleaning ducts can help people live more comfortably if they have asthma, allergies, or other respiratory problems.

Improves Sanitation

If you have ever had any kind of infestation such as rodents or insects, then you may need to have your ducts cleaned to remove any type of contaminants or diseases. If you have recently had any kind of pest problem, then it is a good idea to get your ducts cleaned.

Saves You Money

If your ducts are full of debris, then your home’s heating and cooling system has to work extra hard to do its job blowing air through them. By cleaning your ducts, your heating and cooling system works more efficiently. If you have moved or finished renovations, it is a good idea to clean out your ducts.

When Should You Clean Out Your Ducts

There are a few main times when you should consider getting your ducts cleaned.

  • Your Home is New or Newly Renovated – construction dust and debris can end up in the ducts after your home has been built or a renovation has taken place.
  • After a Pest Problem – as mentioned earlier, you can end up with contaminants in your ducts if you have had an insect or rodent infestation.
  • Mould – if you have visible mould in your home then there is a good chance that it has entered into your HVAC system and that mould spores are being blown around your house.
  • Installing a New Heating or Cooling System – you will want to maximize your new system, and getting your ductwork cleaned out will enable you to achieve maximum efficiency.
