Building owners and managers often overlook the potential returns from investing in this kind of service. The benefits of air duct cleaning at your Oldham/Shelby County property add up in both dollars saved and business benefits banked.

7 Smart Ways Commercial Air Duct Cleaning Pays Off

Here at SERVPRO of Oldham/Shelby, we’re sometimes asked, “How often should ducts be cleaned?” The answer depends on several factors including your building’s age, size and usage. However, most commercial properties share a common problem: air-tight construction.

This design holds down heating and cooling costs, but it ups the number of potential indoor air quality problems. An investment in commercial air duct cleaning counters many of these issues and pays off with smart benefits.

1. Consistent, Comfortable Temperatures

 Commercial air ducts and vents don’t affect indoor temperatures by themselves, but their performance impacts interior comfot throughout your building. Employees can’t do their best in areas that stay too warm. Customers aren’t inspired to conduct business in chilly draft zones.

Ductwork assessment and commercial vent cleaning keep HVAC networks in top condition. Equipment holds up to temperature and humidity changes, and that helps provide consistent comfort year-round.

2. Better Indoor Air Quality

HVAC systems generate a humid environment inside ductwork that creates a breeding ground for mold. Left untreated, the fungal growth reproduces by releasing airborne spores. As contaminants circulate through ducts and vents, they fill every room in your building with unpleasant odors.

Stale, musty smells aren’t good for employee morale, and poor indoor air quality makes a bad impression on your customers. With regular vent and duct cleaning, interiors always greet everyone with fresh air that doesn’t require opening the nearest window.

3. Indoor Environment

Mold, mildew and pest contaminants are obvious, but your property’s ductwork also houses a wide range of invisible pollutants. Microbial Contamination can range from insect- and rodent-generated bacteria to threatening pathogens and allergens.

Certified technicians use special equipment to clear and treat ductwork so that you’re assured of a cleaner indoor environment throughout the building.

4. Less Organic Contamination

Your HVAC’s ductwork serves as a highway system for insects and rodents scurrying behind walls and above ceilings. Our technicians often encounter multiple layers of debris inside ducts and vents. The organic contamination includes residue from mites, cockroaches, spiders and nematodes.

Exterminators control pest problems, but they can’t address the result of pest invasions inside vents and ducts. It takes professional cleaning by highly trained specialists to safely remove and dispose of organic contamination.

5. A Cleaner Workplace

Anytime you make a job easier instead of harder, you’re getting ahead in business. Apply that attitude to keeping the workplace clean, and then think about how dirty ductwork comes into play. If you notice that a good dusting doesn’t last, the culprits are probably right overhead.

Dirty vents and ducts distribute airborne particulates that settle on sales counters, office desks and computer equipment. Clean ductwork moves fresh air through your building without contributing to housekeeping duties. That saves time and money whether you clean with an all-employee crew or use a professional service.

6. Longer HVAC Life Expectancy

Picture heating and cooling components generating and moving countless cubic feet of air 24/7. Imagine how difficult it is to push that kind of load through a network compromised by material failures. Dirty ductwork is prone to the kind of wear that puts a strain on HVAC equipment.

Without proper maintenance, duct material degrades quickly. Tears and holes lead to leaks, and that makes the entire system work harder. Keeping ducts and vents clean extends your HVAC equipment’s mechanical life.

7. Improved System Performance

Clean vents and ducts allow motors, blowers and exchangers do their jobs efficiently. Your entire HVAC system runs more smoothly minimizing equipment wear-and-tear. Everything operates at peak efficiency, and that helps hold down heating and cooling costs.

Commercial duct cleaning doesn’t solve all mechanical issues, but it does improve overall system performance. Fewer problems mean fewer breakdowns, repairs and expensive replacements. An investment in duct and vent cleaning reduces both energy consumption and HVAC maintenance costs.
