The benefits of air duct cleaning far outweighs the minimal cost to have it done. When it comes to finding the source of dirty indoor air, there are a few usual suspects. One of the most likely is dirty ducts. The air that passes through ducts tells the story of a home's inhabitants, carrying with it particles of dust, pollen from flowers planted outside, mold that grew during the last heavy rain when the roof leaked, allergens and fur from family pets or unwanted rodents, and so on.

The particles that blow through your air ducts can build up over time, and as the HVAC forces air through the ducts, these particles can become airborne, blowing out a home's air vents into the indoor air. No mop or broom can reach an air duct, so no matter how spotless a building is, its indoor air may be only as clean as its air ducts.

Therefore, to ensure that a building's inhabitants are breathing the cleanest air possible, periodic duct cleaning is essential. Air duct cleaning may be even more important to people with respiratory illness, people with compromised immune systems, people with severe allergies, and people concerned about the air in a newborn baby's room, because the quality of indoor air may affect these inhabitants' health.

Air ducts, often called the lungs of a home, are invisible to the inhabitants but still vital to a home's functioning. Spring cleaning, no matter how thorough, can't reach the ducts, which may contain layers of dirt, allergens, and even mold spores that have built up over time.

If you're concerned about the cleanliness of your indoor air, consider getting your air ducts inspected by a professional who is certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). The certification ensures the inspector knows how to assess not only the cleanliness of your ducts but also potential problems in your environment that may contribute to buildup in the air ducts. An NADCA-certified professional can test your home, clean your vents and ducts if necessary, and come up with a plan of action to help prevent future air quality problems.

After having your ducts cleaned, you'll find there is less dust in your home, easing the load of regular house cleaning. You also may notice that your air conditioner and heater don't have to run as often or as long, because of proper air flow. This could mean extra money in the bank.

It has been reported that a large number of Portland's residents suffer from asthma or respiratory allergies making them especially vulnerable to the effects of indoor air pollutants, such as animal dander, dust, dirt, pollen, bacteria and mold spores. A home's air duct system, which consists of a branching network of tubes in the walls, floors, and ceilings, circulates the air from the furnace and central air conditioner to each room in the home. A dirty duct system carries contaminated air throughout a home every time the furnace or air conditioner is run. In order to remove those allergens, a thorough duct cleaning is necessary.

Air duct cleaning not only has important health advantages to those with asthma or allergies, it also has a positive impact upon the environment. Countless numbers of Portland's two million residents have embraced a "green" lifestyle making Portland, Oregon one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world. Using energy efficiently is one way to reduce one's carbon footprint. Proper cleaning of an air duct system improves air flow, and enables the system to run more efficiently by removing debris that may be hampering the mechanisms inside the system. A clean air duct system is less likely to break down, has a longer life span, and generally operates more effectively than a dirty system. A clean system also results in lower heating and cooling bills.

A proper duct cleaning requires cleaning of all registers, ducting, and the interior of the heating and ventilating system using vacuum equipment that either exhausts particles outside of the home or uses high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) vacuuming equipment inside of the home as well as a brush to dislodge dust and debris. The furnace fan must be cleaned, and the coils inside the air conditioning or a heat pump system must be thoroughly cleaned. A disinfectant may be fogged through the cleaned system to eliminate any tiny particles that might remain.

Regardless of the method used to clean the air ducts, Portland's residents can take a big sigh of relief knowing that there are important health and environmental advantages to having their air duct systems cleaned. To one with respiratory problems, cleaning the ducting within the home removes allergens circulating in the home's duct system that exacerbate respiratory symptoms. On a larger scale, air duct cleaning reduces a home's carbon footprint by enabling the air ducts to run more efficiently which also results in lower heating and cooling bills.
