Is air duct cleaning only for homes that are 20 or 30 years of age? Of course not! Many customers see the ads with pictures showing a build up of debris inside of the ductwork that looks like carpet. They understand that this is from many years of contaminants cycling through the heating and cooling system. The duct system is the lungs of a home and it is breathing WHATEVER is inside the living space. This includes when the house is being built.
What usually happens when a house is being built in Michigan is that the frame goes up. After this happens all of the internal components come together and part of this is the drywall. With this being Michigan, the furnace and ductwork is installed at the same time to help “cure” the drywall and keep the workers warm. As a result, whatever is going on during the building process (sanding, cutting wood, cutting tile) is sucked into the duct system for your family to breath when you move in.
Many homeowners call us months after moving in with one of two responses. The first is that they have a tremendous amount of dust that they can not get rid of (no matter how clean they are) and the second is that their allergies are driving them CRAZY. Without cleaning the ductwork properly you are victim to your builders debris.
