"Air duct cleaning" is a common term for what is actually entire heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system cleaning. Duct cleaning by itself isn't enough, particularly in a humid climate. The entire system, including the blower and coils must be cleaned periodically to maintain efficient operation. A clean air conditioning system helps you to breath easier, saves energy, and actually increases the ability of the system to cool your home or business.
Your heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system (HVAC system) not only cools the air, but also removes moisture, which is another important consideration in a humid climate. Warm moist air is drawn across the cold condenser coils removing heat from the air and causing the moisture to condense and run down into the condensate pan, reducing humidity levels.
Because of this condensing process, the coils almost always have some moisture on them, just as your bathroom mirror does after a hot shower. The moisture makes it more likely for dust particles in the air to stick to the coils, which are several rows deep. The heavier this build up becomes, the more it slows down the airflow across the coils, and reduces the amount of cooling and dehumidification that takes place. The dirt on the coils also insulates them and reduces the amount of heat and moisture they can remove from the air. Your HVAC system has to work that much harder to cool and dehumidify the air in your home.
These air ducts, with chilled air flowing through them to your wall registers, are also cooler than the surrounding air. When the system is not running, the moisture from the ambient air tends to condense on the insides of the air ducts. The same is true for the blower fan in your system. Dust particles tend to build up more quickly on these surfaces in a humid climate. The air you breathe is being blown over this dirt build up, which also makes the system less efficient.
Now you can see why in areas with higher humidity, air duct cleaning is essential to indoor air quality and energy efficiency. The dirt in your air conditioning system that decreases its efficiency is the same dirt that the air you breathe is flowing over. And the dirt builds up faster in these humid climates.
Duct cleaning alone is not enough to correct all of the problems and return your system to peak efficiency. Entire HVAC system cleaning on a regular basis is necessary to help you save energy and breathe easier.
