Air Duct Cleaning: Considering both the benefits of indoor air quality and HVAC system performance, it is now being recommended. However, several homeowners are hesitant to book it, fearing it could cause more harm than good. At Aire One East Heating & Cooling, we’re here to clear up those falsehoods: if performed the right way by qualified technicians, air duct cleaning is just fine; believe us, and no, it won’t hurt your HVAC system.

Understanding the Process

Duct cleaning involves removing dust, dirt, and pollutants from your home’s ductwork. Then, a professional will use commercial-grade equipment, such as high-powered vacuums, brushes, and blowers, to disrupt the buildup and vacuum it away. This includes cleaning other system components, such as supply and return air ducts, registers, and, if necessary, the furnace fan.

Can It Cause Damage?

Unprofessionally conducted and with the wrong equipment, air duct cancellation may also have its threats, such as:

Ripping the ductwork: Overly forceful or incorrect brushing can rip flexible duct linings or dislodge connections.

Damaging HVAC components: Debris cleanup in areas such as coils and fans can lead to poor system performance if not performed by a knowledgeable professional.

Disturbing asbestos: In older homes, you can risk exposing yourself to a toxic form of insulation or building material when you don’t take the proper precautions.

This is why it is so essential to select a reliable HVAC company, such as Aire One East.
