So our house is quite new to the benefits of ductwork cleaning.
And wow, am I ever glad that we took a chance with this particular HVAC service. I don’t know that we would have chosen to have ductwork cleaning done had we not joined the HVAC service plan. This is a plan we joined in order to not ever forget seasonal HVAC appointments again. We had missed several in the past and that’s just not acceptable. The heating an cooling equipment are essential to our comfort. So not getting seasonal HVAC maintenance is not only stupid but it compromises both the longevity and the efficiency of the HVAC unit. Yet, there are other benefits to this HVAC service plan provided by our local HVAC company. Namely, we get discounts for other HVAC services. And that’s what led us to get the ductwork cleaning. We simply didn’t know if the ductwork had ever been cleaned in this house. I know that it hadn’t since we’d been here for the better part of a decade. So we went into the ductwork cleaning with an eye toward improving the indoor air quality of our home. And clean air ducts certainly delivered on that expectation. But it’s the ductwork resealing part of this HVAC service that has me tickled to death. This part of the HVAC service seal gaps in the ductwork joints that let in dust and debris. However, ductwork resealing also measurably increases the efficiency of the heat pump because there are no air conditioning leak. And that reduces the demand for air conditioning. I couldn’t be more pleased with the economic results as well as the improved indoor air quality.
