Don’t Let Dirty Air Ducts Take Your Breath Away

March 9, 2022

We all know that a clean home is a healthier home. We spend time and money wiping away dirt and germs from contaminated surfaces, but what about the indoor air we’re breathing? The EPA has estimated that the number of air pollutants present in indoor air can be 2-5 (or in some cases, 10) times higher than outdoor levels. Jeremy Diaz, Carpet Tech’s National Air Duct Cleaner’s Association (NADCA) certified specialist says trapped dust and allergens in air ducts can diminish the quality of indoor air and be a source for asthma and allergies.

Not only does dust and dirt accumulate in your air ducts, but molds and bacteria can recirculate through your vents as well,” Diaz said. The NADCA recommends air duct cleaning every 3 to 6 years; however, Diaz says pet dander, smoking, and recent home remodeling projects increase the need for regular air duct cleaning, especially if your family has asthma or allergies. 

“These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average,” Diaz said. “Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.” 

Diaz is the only certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialist within 100 miles of Lubbock. This means his knowledge and skills related to HVAC system hygiene are unmatched. “I’ve been cleaning air ducts for more than a decade, and while I love the work, my customers are my purpose,” he said. “What I do helps people feel better, breathe better, and protect the vulnerable in the home from getting sick.”

 

But how do you know if your air ducts need cleaning? Diaz says to look for external signs like mold around your vent covers. Examine the air supply and return vents for visible dirt. Even noticeably higher energy bills compared to the prior years may be a sign of dirty ductwork. “Cleaning your home’s air ducts isn’t something you should attempt on your own,” cautions Diaz.“It’s a complex process that requires advanced knowledge of HVAC systems, as well as specialized tools.” 

Carpet Tech’s specialized air duct truck includes a special vacuum with intense, high-power suction. Since the Power Vac systems are mounted right on the truck, 100% of the contaminants are taken outside of your house and stored, ensuring pollutants stay out of the house. Diaz also uses various air tools, from whips to air sweeps at each register, and works his way back to the furnace, cleaning the entire length of the ductwork. Diaz performs an inspection of your ducts both before and after to show you what was lurking in the vents before cleaning.

“There’s nothing like being able to show a homeowner the before and after video and pictures of their vents,” Diaz said. “Not only are they surprised at the difference, but will literally take a deep breath as if relieved and confident in the safety of their home.”
