Having clean air ducts is very important in having a clean household. If it’s been a while since you’ve gotten them cleaned, it’s possible that there’s a duct clog. HVAC cleaning for your Chicago air ducts is vital to get out dust and debris, therefore improving your air flow and air pollution and reducing the amount of dust that’s circulated.
So how do you know you have an air duct clog or when it’s time to contact a duct cleaning company?
Rooms Are Different Temperatures
If there are drastic changes between temperatures in your home, this is a huge clue that there are clogs in your air ducts. It’s normal for there to be slight variation between temperatures, especially between floors. However, if there are major temperature differences on the same level, you’re most likely dealing with an air duct clog.
Energy Bill Increasing
Bad airflow usually makes your bills skyrocket. When airflow is bad, your heating and cooling systems will have to work extra hard to pump out hot or cold air. An air duct obstruction is no exception- with blocked air ducts, your HVAC system will have to work harder to pump out air. This hard work your systems are putting in then means you’ll be paying more for your energy bills.
Heater or AC Running Constantly
If there’s a clog in your air duct, your HVAC system will have to run consistently in order to keep the temperature the thermostat is set at; this goes along with your system having to work harder to account for the clog. Since the ducts are blocked, only a small amount of air can reach areas of your home, so the HVAC will have to run more than usual to account for the small amounts of air coming out.
Dirty Air Vents
You can’t see your air ducts easily, but you can see your air vents. If they have noticeable dirt and debris on them in more rooms than not, then there’s most likely an excess of dirt and debris in your air ducts, possibly signifying a clog.
Allergies or Sicknesses Getting Worse
It’s very possible for dirt and debris from your air ducts and vents to make you sick, especially when it comes to allergy-like symptoms. If you’re experiencing an excess of symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, or any other allergy symptoms that have worsened, there’s a good chance your ducts might have a clog that needs to be cleaned out.
