Why You Should Get a Professional Air Duct Cleaning During the Hot Summer Months

The period of July 3rd through August 11th is known as “The Dog Days of Summer,” and the phrase is often used to describe the hottest and most humid days of the year (whether they fall specifically in that date range or not). Combine these dog days with the fact that we are currently experiencing the hottest summer on record, and it’s safe to say that your AC unit is working overtime. Because of that, summer is a great time for professional air duct cleaning to help ensure that your air conditioner is working as efficiently as possible, saving money and energy.  

Benefits of AC Duct Cleaning

Having clean ductwork as a result of professional air duct cleaning means your HVAC system doesn’t need to work as hard. This simple fact solves a number of problems for you and your residential or commercial property. 

Improved Airflow

Having a professional AC duct cleaning will allow for unobstructed airflow. This will lead to better cooling in your entire building. If there are portions of your ductwork that are dirtier and more obstructed than others, it stands to reason that your property may not be getting cooled evenly. 

Increased Energy Efficiency

A more efficient air conditioner will use less energy and be less of a strain on our environment. At DUCTZ, we pride ourselves on providing services that are good for our natural resources and planet. Additionally, with today’s rising inflation, we understand the importance of saving money. In the case of a commercial HVAC system, studies have shown that they are responsible for over 30% of the building’s energy usage. When your system is working more efficiently, your costs will go down. 

Prolonged Longevity for your AC Unit

Finally, having a professional air duct cleaning will reduce strain on your entire HVAC system, air conditioner included. This will save both energy and money in the short term and help extend the life of your unit in the long run. The cost of regular maintenance and upkeep pales in comparison to the cost of a brand new system.

The current hot summer temperatures we are experiencing compounds these benefits to your air conditioning unit. We can’t control the weather, so take whatever steps that are in your control to help your HVAC unit this summer. Adequately insulate doors and windows. Draw blinds and curtains when it’s sunny. Cook outside when possible. Have your ductwork and HVAC system evaluated and cleaned!
