5 Reasons Why you Should Hire Professionals to Clean your Air Ducts and not Rent Air Duct Equipment
Air ducts can house dust, bacteria, mold and in some cases, vermin and other pests. In addition, dirty air ducts can contribute to a higher energy bill. It’s therefore easy to understand why regular cleaning of your air ducts is a good idea.
There are two ways that you can clean your air ducts. One way is to rent air duct equipment and do it yourself, and the other is to hire professionals to do it for you. Here are five reasons why you should go with the latter option.
1. Renting air duct equipment may be just as expensive as hiring someone to do the job
Most people choose to rent air duct cleaning equipment and do the job themselves because they think doing so will save them money. This may not be the case. In fact, in some instances renting equipment can be just as expensive as hiring a professional company.
2. Rental equipment is often outdated and poorly maintained
Rental companies strive to keep their equipment operational, but they rarely invest the time and money required for proper maintenance. On the other hand, professional companies are held to certain standards and will clean your air ducts with well maintained industry-standard equipment.
3. A professional crew will offer a comprehensive cleaning
Cleaning your air ducts is about more than removing dust and debris. A professional team will provide a thorough cleaning from the ducts to the coils, offering a lasting solution rather than a short-term fix.
4. If you clean your air ducts on your own, you could create more problems than you solve
If you don’t know what you are doing, you could end up flushing dust and particulate matter into your house while possibly damaging the air ducts themselves. You won’t have this problem if you hire professionals.
5. A professional company will clean up after themselves
If you do the job on your own then you will also be tasked with the clean-up afterwards. However, if you hire a professional company, they will be responsible for cleaning up after themselves and in many cases, they will leave the house in better shape than they found it.
Consider the points above before making a decision on your air ducts. While you may be tempted to rent air duct cleaning equipment and do the job on your own, there is a reason — ok, at least 5 reasons — why you should opt for a professional company.
