Duct cleaning video
Air ducts and allergies
The short answer
Ducted heating can hold a build-up of dust mite allergens, pet dander, mould spores and cockroach allergens, and the system picks them back up and carries them through the home when it runs. A professional duct clean removes that reservoir, so less is circulated each time.
7 days a week. No call-out fee, and you pay after the job.
Key points
- Dust mite allergens, pet dander, mould spores and cockroach allergens can all build up in ductwork.
- When the system runs, settled allergens are picked back up and carried through the home.
- A professional duct clean removes the built-up reservoir, so less is circulated.
- Afterwards, a better filter helps keep it that way. Check your system can take one first.
