What is Duct Cleaning and why should I get it done?

Usually, duct cleaning services consist of a thorough cleaning of your furnace and HVAC system. If you think of your ducts as a tree, the furnace is like the trunk, with large branches coming off (main trunk lines) and smaller branches (ducts) leading to your vents. The dust that is circulating through your home can accumulate, along with other items (usually smaller items such as toys, pet hair and construction debris) can find their way into your ducts and if your ducts are not cleaned regularly, the accumulation of all this dust and debris could begin to wear out your furnace and  restrict airflow in your ducts. Professional duct cleaning services can help you with this, along with providing cleaner air circulating throughout your house. A diagram below illustrates the typical components in your HVAC system:
