Most of us spend more time indoors during the cold winter months. That means we rely on the air in our homes more than the fresh air outside.
When the days get shorter and colder, keeping your air ducts clean becomes more important than ever. There are several ways you can keep your air ducts clean and clear and improve your indoor air quality this winter.
Keep Up with Cleaning and Dusting
Your air ducts are only as clean as your home. If you let dust and debris build up in communal areas, they’ll inevitably end up in your air ducts.
Make dusting and cleaning a regular habit. It will go a long way in keeping your air ducts clean and improving the overall purity of the air in your home.
Install an Indoor Air Quality System
Indoor air quality systems are becoming more popular with homeowners because they’re so effective at improving the cleanliness of indoor air.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) systems remove many contaminants from the air, including:
- Dust
- Pollen
- Hair
- Pet dander
- Bacteria
- Chemicals
- Gasses
As such, IAQ systems are one of the most effective ways to keep your air ducts clean this winter.
Schedule an Air Duct Cleaning
If your air ducts haven’t been cleaned in a while, you’re probably overdue. A professional cleaning will eliminate harmful substances and allow air to move easily and safely throughout your home.
Professional cleanings may involve sanitizers, deodorizers, and disinfectants to guarantee thorough sanitation. They also frequently use negative air pressure to ensure that the particles in your ducts don’t find their way into your home during the process.
