Disadvantages of Not Cleaning the Air Ducts

If you decide against having your air ducts cleaned regularly or when required, you might be contributing to poor indoor air quality in your house polluted with contaminants, allergens, pet hairs, or even smoke. These factors might not seem like major problems right off the bat, but they might make your house unsafe for your pets and for people who have allergies and asthma, and they might affect your living experience considerably.

If left uncleaned for a while, the contaminants might even go as far as to pollute your water and increase your overall expenditure on heating and cooling yearly. Cleaning your air ducts involves disinfecting your air ducts, registers, grilles, and other parts of your ductwork. You might want to consider it if your ducts are too clogged, have mold growing inside, or are ravaged by nasty critters or vermin.

Advantages of Cleaned Air Ducts

  • Improve Indoor Air Quality - Smoke or odors in your house are also hard to remove if your ducts are already clogged, and your ventilation becomes very poor.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
