How Duct Cleaning Cuts Energy Bills

Loss of efficiency in heating and air conditioning systems happens very slowly, over time. For most Twin Cities homeowners, the increase in cost due to lost efficiency just creeps up over months and years and goes unnoticed. The most common cause of this lost efficiency is simple: Dirt and dust accumulates in furnaces, air conditioners and air ducts in every home, making your home comfort system work harder and harder to keep your home warmed and cooled. The result is ever-higher utility bills. Some of the increase comes from higher gas and electricity costs, but reduced system efficiency is also a big factor.

Professional cleaning of your furnace, air conditioner and air ducts restores efficient operation and you’ll notice the difference in your next energy bill and in every bill after that. The savings can be substantial. Here are the facts about lost heating and cooling system efficiency:

Dirty Air Ducts Destroy Efficiency – The air ducts in your home circulate all the air in the building any time your furnace or air conditioner runs. Along with that air comes dust and debris. Over time, this dust and other debris builds up into a thick layer on the inside of your air ducts. That causes turbulence and poor air flow, reducing the efficiency of your furnace or air conditioner. Clean air ducts allow warm or cool air to flow freely, making the most of your heating and cooling.
Dirty Furnaces Are Inefficient Furnaces – From the burner area to the heat exchanger and blower, dirt accumulates inside your furnace. This can cause poor air flow, inefficient combustion, and even excess wear and tear on your furnace. Dirty filters, too, play a role in reducing furnace and air conditioner efficiency.
Dirty Air Conditioners Are Expensive to Operate – Your central air conditioner unit sits outdoors. There, it accumulates dirt and debris, clogging its coils. This makes your air conditioner unit work harder to cool your home and reduces its efficiency. Inside your home, the systems evaporator or A-coil can develop an efficiency robbing, dirty coating that interferes with proper heat exchange. A clean air conditioning system is a must, both for high efficiency and to prevent premature system failure.
Professional Cleaning Restores Your System’s Efficiency – No mechanical system can operate properly and economically without regular, professional maintenance, and cleaning is part of that maintenance. A regular schedule of professional duct, furnace, and air conditioner cleaning is the key to lowering energy costs and a long life for these expensive appliances.
