Green T Air Duct Cleaning Blog

The Chicago area is starting to experience consistent summer weather and many homeowners are opening up their homes or turning on their air conditioners to keep cool.  During the winter, homes are closed up which allows plenty of debris to accumulate within the air duct system and re-circulate into the breathing air throughout the winter.  This buildup of debris contributes to unhealthy breathing air as well as decreased cooling efficiency for higher energy bills.  Having your air ducts professionally cleaned in the summer can improve the indoor air quality and the energy efficiency of the cooling system.

Most homes experience very little air exchange between the indoor and outdoor air in the winter so the air duct system is essentially recycling the same air and debris through the whole season.  The dust, dirt, and other debris that settles within the home gets sucked up by the air duct system only to be redistributed back into the breathing air.  These airborne particles contribute to indoor air pollution and they can cause a variety of health problems such as allergies and respiratory issues in cases of prolonged exposure.  Having your air ducts professionally cleaned for the summer will remove the debris that has been building up in the air ducts all winter for much cleaner breathing air.

In addition to cleaner breathing air, having your air ducts professionally cleaned for the summer will also improve the cooling efficiency.  The dust and debris that builds up within the air duct system lowers the cooling efficiency because it contaminates the component parts.  This causes the system to work harder and force through less air while using more energy which will cause a noticeable increase in energy bills.  Many companies that provide professional air duct cleaning services use the source removal method to completely remove all debris from the system and its component parts.  This will not only increase the cooling efficiency of your home for lower energy bills, but also help increase the life of your air duct system.

As the weather warms up all around Chicago, make sure your air conditioning is cooling your house efficiently with professional air duct cleaning services.  The debris that has built up within your home and air duct system all winter will continue to cycle through your breathing air and contaminate the components of the cooling system.  Removing this debris will contribute to cleaner breathing air and more efficient cooling for lower energy bills.  Contact Green T Air Ducts to schedule and air duct cleaning appointment or learn more about our source removal cleaning method.
