Why is Spring the best season for air duct cleaning in Lehigh Valley?

You're spending more time outdoors and opening your windows to eliminate the dry, stale air of the winter and breathing in a fresh spring breeze. Spring cleaning is in the air, and while you might be cleaning out your car, closet, and other areas of your home, have you considered cleaning your air ducts? 

Cleaning your air ducts in the spring may not be at the top of your to-do list, but there are reasons why.

Humidity + Dust = Mold

Think about how often you dust your furniture to maintain it in a clean and shiny condition, now imagine what your air ducts will be like after a year. As the warmer humid months approach, the dust that accumulated in your ducts can become sticky and cause mold. Air ducts should be cleaned in the spring, especially if you or anyone in your family suffers from respiratory problems.

Your System Deserves a Break

Many people use the transition from winter to spring (and then to summer) as an opportunity to open their windows instead of turning on their furnace or air conditioner. Why not clean your air ducts now while your HVAC system is on vacation? 

Air Quality Improvements

Trees sprout, flowers bloom, and plenty of pollens and allergens linger, causing difficulty for your family's respiratory system. Keep your air vents clean to prevent this. Smokers' chemicals, along with fur from your pets, can also stay in your home through ventilation systems.

Cost-Efficient

You'll save money by cleaning the air ducts no matter when you do it because the system will be more efficient, which will result in your home's systems working longer.

The Best Days to Get Duct Cleaning

Clean the air ducts in the springtime. But when is it worthwhile to accomplish this project?

• Rainy days — The rain has a way of keeping pollen from floating in the air, and some pollens are washed entirely. If you clean your air ducts during a rainy day, you'll have fewer pollens enter your home through your open windows.
• Cool temperatures —Consider scheduling air duct cleaning if the forecast predicts cooler temperatures.
• End of spring — When spring comes around, duct cleaning is ideal, but the end of spring is often particularly productive. Most plants will be in full bloom, so fewer pollen and fewer allergens will be present when your windows are open.

Whether you haven't cleaned your air ducts in several years or only a few, it’s a great time to do so. You’ll feel better knowing your HVAC system is clean and efficient.
