Both central air conditioning and forced air heating work through two types of duct systems- supply ducts and return ducts. These ducts continually cycle air throughout your home until your thermostat tells the furnace or AC that the right temperature has been achieved. Supply ducts are designed to blow conditioned air to your various rooms, while return ducts send air back to the furnace or air conditioning unit so it can be heated or cooled. If these ducts are not properly maintained, they could collect dust or mildew and jeopardize the health of your home and family.

Ducts and ductwork are frequently neglected during home energy assessments and check-ups. When you call Attic Cleaning Thousand Oaks at 805 744 1012we leave no stone unturned. We make sure to evaluate your entire home! Since it is frequently overlooked, it is important your ductwork is installed properly along with the appropriately sized unit. These simple things can dramatically effect how your heating and cooling systems operate, which can affect the following:

Comfort: A proper cleaning of air ducts can help with common comfort problems such as rooms that are too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Indoor Air Quality: Fumes from household and garden chemicals, insulations particles, and dust will enter and build up inside the air ducts, creating poor air quality circulating in your home or business. Poor air quality can cause numerous health concerns for those who suffer from Asthma and Allergy problems. Cleaning the air ducts can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the risk of pollutants entering ducts and circulating through your home.

Protecting our Environment: Dirty ducts can reduce heating and cooling system efficiency by as much as 30%. Cleaning and insulating ducts increases efficiency, lowers your energy bills, and can often pay for itself in energy savings. The less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate. By cleaning your ducts and reducing the amount of energy necessary to comfortably heat or cool your home, you can reduce the amount of air pollution generated.
