We had a fairly mild winter here in Cleveland compared to other years. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t have a few cold spells! And as such, your furnace was probably in use pretty frequently over the fall and winter.
When we conduct air duct cleanings, we’ll make sure to give your furnace the attention it needs after keeping you and your family warm over the winter season. We’ll clean it, make sure all the electrical wiring is in good shape, and run a few cycles to make sure your furnace is ready for the next time you need it.
Animals are in peak nesting mode in spring
Spring is a high risk time for animals in your air ducts who are looking for the perfect nesting spot! From birds to wasps to mice, you want to keep every kind of animal away from your vents. An important part of your prevention plan will be cleaning your air ducts to clear out any nesting material and sealing your vents to make sure nothing can get in.
Airborne allergies are in full-force, too!
Here in Cleveland, we have some of the highest density of airborne allergens in the country. And, spring and summer is peak allergy season! This is the time of year when allergy-producing trees such as elm, sycamore, hickory, walnut, and maple are in full pollen-releasing mode. And that can make things miserable both inside and out!
Keep everyone in your home sniffle-free by clearing out debris and dust in your air ducts.
If you have pets, they’re likely shedding their winter coats
Many pets have double coats, with a downy underlayer that is shed during the spring. This can mean that your vents are even more clogged than usual with pet fur and dander than during the rest of the year.
By cleaning your air ducts now, you can enjoy a more pet allergy-free summer!
It can make your spring cleaning more effective
Many of us love the satisfaction of getting some spring cleaning in before the relaxation and fun of summer. But, if you’re doing your best to sweep, vacuum, and wipe away dust that just keeps coming back, the debris could be coming from your HVAC.
Enjoy a more long-lasting clean in your home after you’ve removed dust from your air vents.
Prevent the bad AC smell
Ever turn on your AC at the beginning of summer only to suffer an odd smell in your home? It could be because the winter months allowed for dust and mildew to accumulate in the cooling part of your HVAC system.
Cleaning out this section of your cooling system before the summer months can ensure that you enjoy fresh air as soon as the tempeartures start rising outside.
You can be sure your HVAC system is ready for the heat
Right now you might not be thinking about your summer energy bill. But now is the perfect time to set yourself up for a lower one!
An air duct cleaning will make your AC system more efficient so that you can enjoy a comfortable home without an uncomfortably high energy bill.
Spring conditions can put you at higher risk of a house fire
Here in Cleveland, the driest months tend to be between November and March. And when temperatures start to rise towards the end of winter, that means that the conditions are perfect for a dryer lint fire.
Getting your vents and ducts cleaned during this time of year is an important part of your fire prevention plan!
