When is the last time you had your air ducts cleaned?  If it’s been more than a year, they could be getting pretty filthy.  You can help prevent your ducts from becoming dirty by regularly cleaning or replacing the filters in your heating or air conditioning system, but sooner or later, you’re going to want a professional air duct cleaning in Surrey.

How do you know it’s time?  There are plenty of warning signs that your ducts are getting dirty.

Five Things That Say “You Need Air Duct Cleaning in Surrey”

1. Dust everywhere

Does it seem like dust starts to reappear moments after you do your cleaning?  There’s a good chance it’s being blown in from dirty ducts.  In particular, if the dust buildup is particularly heavy beneath your ducts, they’re definitely the problem.

2. Mold or mildew smells

Air ducts tend to collect moisture via condensation, and moisture leads to the growth of mold and mildew.  If you smell rot when the air kicks in, that’s a big warning sign that you have unwanted growth.  And if you ever see mold on the outside of the vents, you’ll want a Surrey air duct cleaning ASAP!

3. Increased signs of vermin infestation

Roaches, mice, rats, and other vermin love to set up shop in your air ducts.  If you’re seeing more signs of an infestation – such as droppings on the floor – there’s a very good chance they’re hiding in your vents.  This can be a major health issue too!  Any waste products they leave in the vents are getting circulated into the air we breath.

4. Sudden increases in heating/cooling costs

As air ducts become dirtier, they will get clogged up and start inhibiting the airflow.  In turn, this forces your HVAC system to work harder to maintain your chosen temperature, causing additional electrical usage.  If it seems like the vents aren’t blowing as much air, or your power bill goes up with no other clear cause, clogged ducts are likely the problem.

5. You’ve recently done construction or renovation

Whenever any sort of construction or renovation work is done on a building, it’s going to leave a lot of particles and debris in the air which will end up in the vents.  Always get an air duct cleaning after any kind of interior construction work.
