While most Garland, TX homeowners understand the importance of routine HVAC maintenance and promptly responding to repair needs, they often overlook duct cleaning. However, duct cleaning provides several positive benefits for your home and your HVAC system.
Longer System Life
A central HVAC system, on average, can function reliably for anywhere from 15 to 25 years. Maximizing this lifespan requires you to care for and maintain your system. Duct cleanings, because of their relationship to airflow and efficiency, are a crucial part of any such effort.
Efficiency
Cleaning your ducts helps to keep air flowing smoothly through your HVAC system freely, which can improve your system’s efficiency. The better your airflow, the more efficiently your HVAC system will warm or cool the air that it takes in and distributes throughout your home.
On the other hand, if airflow is subpar, your thermostat may inadvertently force your HVAC system to consume more energy. It may do this in an effort to compel the system to produce the same results that it used to, not understanding that without good airflow, this will not be possible.
Fewer Breakdowns
Your system running longer and harder to push air through dirty ductwork doesn’t only damage your HVAC system’s efficiency. The added stress that this adds to your system’s components leads to more frequent breakdowns. Extra repairs and replacement parts increase your costs as well as disrupting your household routine.
Don’t assume that you’ll be able to save money in the long run by skipping a regular HVAC duct cleaning. This will almost certainly backfire in the end and cost you a great deal in repair or replacement fees. Call Quality 1 Energy Systems Heating & Air Conditioning, and make use of our duct cleaning services in Garland, TX to avoid headaches like these.
