3 Signs Your Business Needs Its Ducts Cleaned

HVAC systems need regular cleanings and maintenance to run efficiently. Fortunately, our team has a high-powered vacuum to do just the trick!

HVAC systems are an essential part of any building, but most property owners neglect to perform regular maintenance. When a system doesn’t undergo cleaning and maintenance for an extended period of time, it tends to overwork and becomes less efficient. If you’re not sure if your business’ ducts need to be cleaned, check out the 3 indicators below.

• You can’t remember the last time it was cleaned. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, your ducts should be cleaned every 3-5 years. If nobody in the building can remember the last time a cleaning was performed, you likely need to do so.

• Your staff notices increased allergy symptoms. Over time, your HVAC system will build up debris and dust particles. When the system is running, it recirculates these contaminants through the building, which can prompt allergies and other problems.

• You have verified mold growth in your ducts. When mold is actively growing, it releases spores. When these spores are in the duct system, they can be circulated throughout the building, which could lead to growth in other areas. It’s best to have a professional apply an antimicrobial and clean your system.

Most people don’t mess with their duct system unless they have to, but regular cleaning can maintain the system’s efficiency. If you believe your duct system needs to be cleaned, call SERVPRO of Alexander & Caldwell Counties at 828-396-1070!
