Inside the walls and floors of 80 percent of Oklahoma homes run a maze of
heating and air conditioning ducts that connect each room to the furnace. As the
supply ducts blow air into the rooms, return ducts inhale airborne dust and suck
it back into the blower. Add moisture to this mixture and you've got a breeding
ground for allergy-inducing molds, mites and bacteria. Many filters commonly
used today can't keep dust and debris from streaming into the air and over time
sizable accumulations can form - think dust bunnies, but bigger.
To find out if your ducts need cleaning, pull off some supply and return
registers and take a look. If a new furnace is being installed, you should
probably invest in a duct cleaning at the same time, because chances are the new
blower will be more powerful than the old one and will stir up a lot of dust.
Professional duct cleaners tout such
benefits as cleaner indoor air, longer equipment life and lower energy costs.
Clean HVAC systems can also perform more efficiently, which may decrease energy
costs, and last longer, reducing the need for costly replacement or repairs.
Cleaning has little effect on air quality, primarily because most indoor dust
drifts in from the outdoors. But it does get rid of the stuff that mold and
bacteria grow on, and that means less of it gets airborne, a boon to allergy
sufferers. .
