Your home's duct system is made up of supply and return lines that circulate heated and cooled air throughout the home. Naturally, dust and debris accumulate within the ductwork over time, potentially constricting airflow.
As dust and dirt particles recirculate throughout your home, restricted airflow can place unnecessary strain on your HVAC system. This may force your furnace to work harder, potentially shortening its lifespan and increasing monthly gas and electricity bills.
Without regular duct and dryer-vent cleaning, debris such as lint can also pose a serious fire hazard. BlackJack HVAC recommends scheduling a duct and dryer-vent cleaning every two years, or yearly if you have large pets or someone in the home has allergies or respiratory issues.
The benefits of duct and dryer-vent cleaning include:
- Improved indoor air quality
- Potential savings on repairs and monthly utility bills
- Helps mitigate fire hazards caused by lint and debris buildup
