Do you have a cooling system to help you endure the summer heat? Early summer is the ideal time to check if your air conditioner can handle the heat if you're unsure. We know how crucial a well-performing A/C system is in the summer. We also understand how crucial regular duct cleaning is to preserving the overall effectiveness of your HVAC system.

Before you, we've shown below how duct and air conditioning cleaning may enhance system performance before going for an air conditioner replacement in Ottawa.

1- Improvement of airflow through ductwork

Your air conditioning system has to be able to move air through the ductwork with the least amount of resistance to operate as effectively as possible. Unfortunately, even a tiny layer of dust or other particle matter increases friction in the duct and reduces airflow effectiveness.

If you've never had professional duct cleaning, your ducts are overdue. They may suggest whether you need to go for an air conditioner replacement. Interior duct buildup takes around two years to impede overall airflow in the typical home.

2- Lessens the Load on Your AC Unit

Your air conditioning system has to work more to cool your house the dirtier your ducts and return vents are. Because your air conditioner recycles the same air constantly, if your ducts are unclean, the air will continue to gather dust and other debris as it moves through the ducting. These particles are subsequently forced into the filter, where many bigger ones get stuck and obstruct effective airflow.

The system must keep a consistent interior temperature even if the filter and ducts get dirtier over time; it just needs to work twice as hard. And regrettably, sustained stress on the system usually results in early failure.

3- AC System performance & cleaning

A/C cleaning is a crucial step in enhancing the general operation of your HVAC system, along with duct cleaning. Most household condenser units are located outside the home (usually on the ground); thus, if external debris is allowed to build up uncontrolled, it can block the system. Unchecked accumulation of dirt, leaves, and other waste sometimes even results in early system failure, which is not what you want in the middle of summer!

Without frequent cleaning, mould and mildew can also flourish in outdoor condenser units, especially if the unit is unusually wet or humid. We strongly advise yearly AC cleaning and AC coil cleaning to minimise fungus accumulation within your AC system while maximising system efficiency and cutting down the extra expense of air conditioner replacement.

In conclusion

Choose a company that is dedicated to assisting households in breathing better indoor air. They should assist you in keeping your HVAC system in good working order so that you and your loved ones can breathe comfortably at home through thorough duct cleaning, A/C cleaning, furnace cleaning, and yearly maintenance programmes.
