The benefits of duct cleaning in Carencro LA are many. However, to determine if cleaning your ductwork is necessary, you need to have an inspection by a qualified HVAC professional. There are symptoms that indicate your duct system is in need of cleaning. Those symptoms include:

Dust and Dirt on Tables and Shelves

If you regularly and thoroughly clean your home, yet dust seems to collect quickly on tables and shelf surfaces, you should have your ductwork inspected. Build-up of dirt and dust inside the ducts will blow out with the air from the heating unit and air conditioner, and will collect on surfaces and furniture. This is one sign that you could benefit from professional ductwork cleaning.
Recent Construction in Your Home

If you have recently built a room addition, remodeled a bathroom or replaced your kitchen cabinets, you will likely benefit from duct cleaning. Particles from construction materials and VOCs from paints and solvents will reduce the quality of the air inside the home. These particles and chemicals collect on the walls of the ductwork, particularly if the air is humid in your home. These materials are recirculated with the air blowing through the ducts from your HVAC system. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants to ensure that the air that you breathe is clear of these pollutants.
Sensitivity to Airborne Allergens

If someone in your family suffers from allergies, professionally cleaning your ducts may reduce their allergic symptoms. Many allergens can collect inside the ductwork, including bacteria, mold, dust mites and other contaminants that tend to aggravate allergies.
Smoking in the Home

Tobacco smoking in the home can pollute the indoor air. In fact, EPA statistics indicate that the air inside homes where an individual smokes tobacco products can be up to 200 times more polluted than outdoor air. These chemicals and contaminants produced by the burning of tobacco products can build up inside the ductwork and recirculate throughout the living area.
Other Factors

Many American homes include pets as members of the family. Both dog and cat fur releases particles into the air known as “pet dander.” This pet dander is a known allergen and reduces the quality of the indoor air. In a recent study about asthma and allergies, Web MD found that 100 percent of the homes they tested in the U.S. tested positive for pet dander. Even if you don’t have a pet, chances are that there is pet dander in your home.
Elderly individuals and young children are more sensitive than most adults to poor indoor air quality. People with respiratory problems are also sensitive to reduced quality of air inside the home. If you share your home with anyone in these groups, or if you live with someone with a compromised immune system due to certain pharmaceuticals, duct cleaning in Carencro LA can promote better health and well being for these individuals.
