Duct cleaning is actually a misnomer,. Improve your air quality and energy efficiency of your AC system is a complete HVAC system cleaning required (HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning)
Duct Cleaning Affects AC System Efficiency
According to EPA, an accumulation of more than four tenths of an inch of dirt on the cooling surfaces can result in a 21% decrease in the efficiency of the coils. But duct cleaning alone will never touch the cold surfaces. The cooling coils are what dispel the heat and moisture from the air in your home. If they are not working efficiently, your AC system has to work harder, run longer and use more electricity to cool your home, not to mention the fact that the air you breathe passes over the dirt on these coils. Air duct cleaning without touching the coils would be like cleaning your vacuum cleaner hose without emptying the bag; largely a waste of time and money. Your air ducts can be pure, but your air handler (which includes the fan, cooling coil and plenum box, where all channel system comes from) will still be working inefficiently and compromising air quality.
In our opinion, is the cost of the air conditioner duct cleaning is not worth the costs. The entire system must be cleaned in order to reap the benefits of better indoor climate and a better energy efficiency.
