Everyone wants a clean home. That’s why it feels so nice to have the carpet vacuumed and the floors swept! But what about the dust and dander hiding out in the ductwork? Ignoring that debris means the indoor chores are only part-way done. When managed correctly, professional duct cleaning can be a great way to ensure everything is in tip-top shape.
Indoor air quality makes a big difference in how the user lives both day and night. Bad odors, humidity levels, and allergens all play a part. LCS can work to keep some of those problems in check by making sure to regularly replace the air filters. Adding a humidifier or dehumidifier might also help. And with duct cleaning, users can really take things to the next level.
duct cleaning service
The home’s ductwork is how hot and cold air travels throughout the home. There are some aspects of this system that users can clean on their own, like dusting off the floor air vents or detaching the clothes dryer vent to clean out any lint. But when user hires a duct cleaning service, what they get is much more detailed. They can work through the ductwork for every room—and depending on the home and other factors, that can be a real game-changer!
It’s typically recommended that users get the duct cleaning scheduled every three years
It’s typically recommended that users get the duct cleaning scheduled every three years. Of course, there are a few scenarios that can alter the timeline. If there are family members who suffer from asthma or allergies, users might benefit from getting the ductwork cleaned more often. That way, users will be sure to get the best benefits year-round.
better energy efficiency
When the furnace or air conditioner is moving air through dirty ductwork, that allows for dirt to travel back and compromise the moving parts inside the unit. Dirt can then build up in there and make the filter get dirtier more quickly, which leads to lower efficiency when the user needs to heat and cool their home. Confirming that the user has clean ductwork helps keep everything running smoothly. The filters can last longer, and that lets the user get better energy efficiency!
Whether the user is dealing with stuffy air around the house or the allergies are flaring up because of pet dander, pollen, or other contaminants, getting on a schedule for duct cleaning can help everyone breathe easier. Even without asthma or allergies, having dirty air recycling throughout the home can be really unpleasant.

Clearing out all of the dust and pollutants in the ductwork helps the air stays as fresh as possible
Clearing out all of the dust and pollutants in the ductwork helps the air stays as fresh as possible. Perhaps the biggest reason for duct cleaning, though, is after the user had any home remodeling. That drywall dust, wood dust, and other debris floating around in the ductwork will probably be too much for the air filter to handle alone.
The same goes if the user is currently living near other neighborhood construction projects, and even farms or fields. The changing seasons can stir up a lot of new dust and pollen that ends up camping out in the ductwork.
More sensitive allergies
Repeating the duct cleaning service every three years is a good rule of thumb. But if the user has remodeling projects or more sensitive allergies, then it makes sense to get this work done more often. Most jobs take between 4-8 hours, and with LCS Heating and Cooling, users can trust that they have the right equipment for truly detailed service!
They’re proud to work with a powerful negative air machine to clean out ductwork dust and debris. They even take the time to carefully clean and re-install each of the air registers in the home, so nothing gets missed.
