Your ductwork already loses quite a bit of heating and cooling between the air handler and vent. This natural air loss is factored into the efficiency ratings of your air conditioner and furnace and is hard to overcome, though insulation and proper duct sealing can certainly help.

However, the problem is only made worse by ductwork that has a layer of dirt and debris inside. This dirt, consisting of dust, dander, pollen, and other airborne contaminants is a natural part of forced air comfort control but it only takes an eighth of an inch to slow airflow enough to cost you money.

In addition, those contaminants can circulate in the air and present a health risk regardless of how good of an air filtration system you have. For all these reasons, we highly recommend annual or bi–annual duct cleaning in Omaha, NE, or other surrounding Omaha, NE areas.

Beyond basic duct cleaning which should be performed every year or two, there are other maintenance tasks you should consider having performed to avoid or delay the need for duct repair. We recommend you have your system tested and sealed, especially if it is more than 10 years old. We also recommend dryer vent cleaning, and that you check your Omaha, NE ductwork on a regular basis for possible issues that might lead to air loss. This can be done in any number of ways by a trained technician that has the tools to inspect your system.

Because ductwork is hidden from sight and will continue to work whether it is clean or not, it is important that you schedule duct cleaning in Omaha, NE in advance regardless of how it operates now. This preventive maintenance will ensure your system does not develop problems in the future and that small problem it has now can be caught and fixed before they start to cost you money.
