Does Your Tarrant County Home Need Air Duct Cleaning?

There are two important things to understand before you schedule air duct cleaning in Mansfield: it’s not always necessary for every household on a regular basis (unlike traditional HVAC maintenance) but it can be hugely beneficial periodically and after specific events. 

Companies that suggest you need airduct cleaning on a yearly basis are exaggerating unless members of your household have severe allergies, asthma or you’re dealing with a lot of indoor air pollutants (like smoking or extreme quantities of pet dander and shedding). An average household that isn’t dealing with those issues may only consider air duct cleaning every five years or so.

The other scenario in which you should seriously consider air duct cleaning is after renovations that kicked up a lot of dust or mold remediations. Examples include wood floor refinishing, cabinet refinishing or tile floor installation. Silica dust from tile installation can be a serious health hazard. It’s also easily aerosolized (floats in the air), meaning it will make its way into your air ducts. No matter how carefully you clean after a project, that dust will continue circulating via your ducts. Wood dust can be similarly messy and tough to get rid of completely without duct cleaning.

Mold spores can pose a similar challenge. It can be extremely frustrating to pay for expensive mold remediation (especially if it’s not covered by your insurance) only to find out it reappeared due to being transported throughout your home via ductwork.

If your family is dealing with any of the above situations, or you’ve just noticed and increase in seasonal allergies and dust in your home, it may be time to consider airduct cleaning from Tom’s Mechanical.

How Are Air Ducts Cleaned?

There are a few tools most air duct companies use.

The technician uses specialized brushes, air whips or compressed air nozzles to agitate and dislodge the dust or contaminants in the ducts. A special commercial-strength vacuum system will then be attached to the main duct trunk, either at the air handler unit or a vent opening. This vacuum creates negative pressure in the duct system, allowing it to suck up all dust and debris during the cleaning process and preventing any contaminants from escaping into your home.

The additional services we provide, like the odor eliminator or germicidal treatments, are often extra services utilized for specific scenarios. Talk with a Tom’s Mechanical expert to find out if they’re appropriate for your home.

The Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning

Improved indoor air quality: Over time, air ducts can accumulate dust, allergens, mold, pet dander and other contaminants. The removal of these pollutants can drastically increase indoor air quality and improve the living environment for you and your family.

Enhanced HVAC system efficiency: Clean air ducts allows your air filters to work better for longer and may reduce the frequency with which they must be replaced. It ultimately allows for better airflow throughout the system, reducing the strain on the HVAC equipment. This can lead to increased energy efficiency, potentially lowering your energy bills and prolonging the life of your system.

Reduced allergens and irritants: Air duct cleaning helps remove allergens and irritants that can cause respiratory issues, allergies or asthma flare-ups. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with existing respiratory problems or sensitivities.

Elimination of unpleasant odors: Cleaning your air ducts and adding the odor eliminator to your treatment can help remove unpleasant odors caused by mold, mildew, pet dander, tobacco smoke or other contaminants, leaving you with a fresher-smelling home.

Prevention of mold and mildew growth: By removing excess moisture, dirt and organic material from your air ducts, you reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew growth, which can be harmful to your health and damage your HVAC system. This is especially important if your home has recently undergone mold remediation.

Removal of pest remnants: If you've had issues with pests such as rodents or insects, air duct cleaning can help remove any droppings, nests or other debris left behind by these pests, reducing the risk of contamination and disease.

Improved system lifespan: Periodic air duct cleaning should be considered a routine HVAC maintenance task. It’s not necessary every year (or even every other year in most households), but periodic duct cleanings can help extend the lifespan of your system by ensuring it runs efficiently and with less strain on its components.
