What we did
In January, our technician Ivan handled a duct cleaning job at a home in Nicholasville. The purpose was straightforward: improve the indoor air quality by clearing out what had built up inside the ventilation system over time.
Ivan used specialized equipment to remove dust, allergens, and debris from the ventilation system. Ducts are out of sight for most homeowners, but every bit of air the system heats or cools travels through them. When they are carrying a load of dust and debris, that material can end up circulating through the living space, and it can get in the way of good airflow. Clearing it out helps the system move air efficiently from the equipment to each room.
A clean duct system supports better HVAC performance and comfort, and it is especially worth considering in winter, when homes in Kentucky are closed up tight and the heat is running for long stretches. The same air gets recirculated again and again during those months, so what is in the ducts matters. If your home has gone a long time without a duct cleaning, or if dust seems to settle quickly after you clean, it may be worth having the system looked at.
