I can tell you one thing, I won’t be waiting a decade for the next ductwork cleaning to take place.
That’s how long we have lived in this house.
And I’m not even sure that the ductwork was cleaned prior to us replacing the HVAC unit. I asked my husband and he couldn’t remember having it done either. Of course, this is all after the fact. For a decade, I thought nothing of cleaning the air ducts in our home. That all changed when I got a cold that I just couldn’t kick. Of course, after hiding inside the central air conditioning of our home for more than a year to avoid Covid, I was sure I had it. But after a few tests, it was clear that this was a head cold. It’s just that head cold worked it’s way down to my chest and stayed there. I couldn’t kick it. So I finally went to the doctor to get some sort of treatment. But what I got was an HVAC recommendation instead. The doctor really thought that my cold was hanging on because of the poor indoor air quality inside my house. This is something that would never have dawned on me. The minute I got home, I called the HVAC company to set up the ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing. They do this after the air ducts are cleaned. My cold was gone within days after the ductwork cleaning was done! It was like magic. But on top of that, the house is just the best now. It’s so much cleaner and easier breathing in the house these days. Trust me, go get some ductwork cleaning and see what it does for your life.
