Time to clean!

Proper cleaning of ventilation systems is essential for both commercial and residential properties, especially before using your air conditioning system. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), air ducts should be cleaned at least every three to five years, or more frequently if there are specific issues with the ventilation system. At SERVPRO of Southern Scioto & Lawrence Counties, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment, and that's why we recommend having your ventilation system cleaned on a regular basis based on industry standards.

One of the key benefits of having your ventilation system cleaned is improved air quality. Over time, dust, dirt, and other contaminants can build up in your air ducts, which can circulate throughout your property when you turn on your AC system. This can cause respiratory issues and other health problems for occupants, especially those with allergies or respiratory conditions. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, so it's important to ensure your ventilation system is clean.

In addition, having your ventilation system cleaned can also improve the efficiency of your air conditioning system. When your air ducts are clogged with debris, your AC system has to work harder to cool your property, which can lead to higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan for your system. According to the US Department of Energy, dirty air filters and ducts can reduce HVAC efficiency by up to 20%.

Finally, having your ventilation system cleaned can also help to prevent fires. When dust and debris build up in your air ducts, it can become a fire hazard, especially if there are any electrical components in the system. According to the National Fire Protection Association, nearly 17,000 home fires are caused by clothes dryers each year, and failure to clean the dryer vent is the leading cause of these fires.
