The Age Old Question!

We are asked time and time again when we come across a customer with either dirty or moldy ductwork, “Do we clean them, or replace them?”. If you take a look at the photo above, you can guess our answer. The ducts on the right side may look cleaner, but they are still in fact dirty.

Your HVAC already has a built-in cleaning system. Your filter will catch most of the dirt and particles from getting into your ductwork and in turn, you’re home. If your ducts are dirty or moldy, you have a leak somewhere causing unfiltered air to get into your ducts. Air conditioner manufacturers do not design air ducts to be cleaned. Most homes today have “flex duct”. Cleaning this type of ductwork can actually cause more damage by tearing your duct and causing more dust and dirt to enter your home. If you have questions, give us a call. We can send a licensed and fully trained technician to give you all of the options best suited to you and your budget. We can even give you a price on a new iWave system!
