With the hot summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get your air-conditioners ready for a hard working season. To keep your unit running properly at its optimum capacity, scheduling an air-conditioning maintenance is essential. The crucial part of an AC repair in Las Vegas is getting your air ducts cleaned.

Since dusting is considered to be the most tedious chores of all time, people often neglect cleaning air ducts. But remember, properly cleaning air ducts enables you to breath in fresh air and reduces many allergens. You can also save a significant amount of money by making your air-conditioning system working more efficiently and last longer.

Why is Cleaning Air Ducts Essential?

According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, air duct cleaning should be scheduled every three to five years. Also, the Environmental Protection Agency states that air ducts should be cleaned very often before the three to five years span, if any of the following three conditions exist.

  • Mold
  • Vermin
  • Dust

Mold

  • A professional air duct cleaning service is required if you find any substantial, visible mold growing inside the hard surfaces of your home.

Vermin

  • The droppings of pests like mice, insects or rats living inside the ductwork can irritate the lungs of your family members.

Dust

  • A professional air conditioning repair company is essential if you live in Las Vegas because the ducts are clogged with dust and debris. This excess dust in air ducts can be identified by the little poofs coming from the registers when the air conditioning system is turned on.

Is Air Duct Cleaning Worth the Cost?

Generally, a home has a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants such as dust, chemicals and dirt. As these contaminants are re-circulated 5 to 6 times per day on an average, it leads to a heavy build-up of contaminants in the duct work. These contaminants are unhealthy and cause serious illness like respiratory problems, auto-immune disorders, and other environmental allergies. But, having a clean air duct helps prevent these diseases and reduces the huge amount spent on medical bills.

The reports by the U.S. Department of Energy states that 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. But, how? It’s because the contaminants in the ductwork makes your air conditioning system to work harder and thereby reduces the lifespan of your system. On the other hand, having clean air ducts help you to maintain the desired temperature without stressing your air conditioning system and uses less energy paving way to improved cost effectiveness.
