Benefits of Furnace and Air Duct Cleaning

There are many reasons why one should have their furnace and air ducts cleaned every two years, especially in Minnesota where we run our furnace and central air often.

First of all it pays for itself, or even pays you to have it done.  Let me explain why...
  • By cleaning off your evaporator coils (which are located just above the furnace) increases the efficiency of the cental air unit because having dirty, dusty evaporator coils costs you money on electricity bills.
  • By cleaning the heating elements getting rid of the gas scale (looks like rust) that clogs up the furnace increases the efficiency of the furnace saving you money on gas bills.
  • By cleaning the blower and fan compartment getting all the dust and debris off the fan blades prevents the blower motor from burning out, which saves you money on potential costly repairs.
  • By cleaning the air ducts you increase air flow throughout the system which helps the system run more efficiently again saving you money on utility bills but possibly doctors bills if you get sick from a polluted air duct system.
  • By cleaning your furnace on a regular basis you will extend the life of your furnace, typically doubling it's life expectancy if you clean it ever two years.
Aside from saving money, here are some other reasons for cleaning your furnace and air ducts
  • Having a clean air duct system helps prevent allergies, asthma, common colds and other illnesses.
  • Helps prevent carbon monoxide leaks.  If you never have your furnace cleaned it will eventually break down, sometimes by cracking the heat exchanger and leaking carbon monoxide.
  • Obviously less dusting, and a cleaner living quarters.
So there you have it.  Now lets recap the benefits of furnace and air duct cleaning.
  • Saves you money on utility bills
  • Helps prevent costly repair bills
  • Extends the life of the furnace (probably your most expensive appliance in your home)
  • Helps prevent carbon monoxide leaks
  • Helps prevent allergies, asthma, and other illnesses
  • Cleaner living quarters
