There are a lot of things that are important in your home to clean that you never give much thought to. One of those is the air duct cleaning inside your house. They deliver the heat and cool air to keep you comfortable and affect the air quality you and your family breathe in. If you are in Cook County, Lake County, DuPage County, Mc Henry County, as well as all surrounding suburbs, you should check out SAI Air Duct in Des Plaines, IL., for all your air duct needs. They help your air ducts and the machinery that uses them stay in top condition to keep the air you breathe clean and save you money. Here are the Top 5 services you can get from a professional air duct cleaning and service company like SAI Air Ducts to keep your home in top condition.
1. Indoor Air Quality
What is more important than the air you and your family breathe in your home? The answer is not much. If you have a bad smell or if you think you may not be breathing the highest quality air, it may be time to get your air ducts checked. An air duct cleaning company can come in and assess the air quality that is coming from your ducts and vents and provide solutions that will increase the air quality in no time. They can offer solutions such as, air purifiers and filters, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, and optimizing UV light penetration. These solutions can help to eliminate mold, toxins, particles, bacteria, and allergens. Utilizing these services will help get the air you breathe up to EPA standards of indoor air quality and improve the quality of life for you and your family.
2. Air Duct Cleaning
Another thing that effects the quality air you breathe is dirty air ducts. On top of that, dirty air ducts are inefficient and can make your heating and cooling equipment have to work considerably harder to push the air through the ducts which will cost you money on your electric bill. Getting your air ducts clean on a regular basis will keep the air quality you breathe better and save you money. The good thing is that this is not something you have to have done all that often. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends that you have your air ducts cleaned every three to five years. Doing so will reduce the number of harmful contaminants you breathe in and help your HVAC system run at peak efficiency.
3. Air Conditioning
In the summer months, it can feel like nothing is more important than your air conditioning system to keep you cool and comfortable. A professional air duct company can not only keep the ducts that deliver the cool air well maintained but can do the same for your whole air conditioning system. Air duct pros like SAI Air Ducts also offer air conditioning services such as AC installation, AC repairs, and AC maintenance, as well as emergency AC services. Keeping a well-maintained AC unit or replacing an older unit are two great ways to save on energy bills over the course of a hot summer. A well-maintained air conditioning unit can save you up to 20% on your summer cooling bill and upgrading an older model to a newer, more energy efficient model may be able to save you even more than that!
4. Dryer Vent Cleaning
Speaking of things in the home that we rarely, if ever, think about, how often do you clean out your dryer vent? If you are like most people, the answer is probably not very often. If this sounds like you, it is probably time to have an air duct pro come over to inspect and clean your dryer vent. Dust, debris, and lint can get trapped in there and not only cause your dryer to work less efficiently and cost you money but it is also a very common cause of house fires. You should get your dryer vent inspected and cleaned once a year to keep everything running smoothly and help prevent a catastrophic fire. If your dryer is taking longer than usual to dry your clothes, getting the clothes hotter than usual or producing a burning smell during use, these may all be signs that you have a clogged dryer vent.
5. Heating Systems
Just like your AC in the summer, your heat in the winter is of the utmost importance to the comfort and safety of your home and your family. Regular maintenance, periodic repairs and possibly replacing your furnace if it is 10-years old or more is vital for keeping your heating system running in top condition. An older or poorly maintained furnace can cost you a lot of money on your winter heating bills. This can also cause breakdowns on the dead of winter, which is a situation nobody wants to be in. If you start hearing loud scrapes or bangs from your furnace, notice that your bills go up or your thermostat does not seem to be accurate anymore, see water pooling underneath it or smell gas coming from it, these can all be signs that your furnace needs to be fixed or replaced right away. Scheduling regular preventative maintenance or possibly is replacing your furnace is something you can easily do with a consultation from the air duct and HVAC pros at SAI Air Duct.
