Is It a Good Idea to Clean Your Own Air Ducts?

With the accessibility of knowledge from experts, thanks to the age of fast information we are living in, many homeowners want to attempt “DIY” home projects and repairs. While it’s certainly not a bad thing to take control of tasks that you can complete on your own, some things are best left to the professionals. At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, we understand that cleaning your home’s air ducts may seem like a simple enough project for you to take on. We’ll go through some of the reasons that cleaning your ductwork should be completed by professionals, though.

Professional Cleaners Are Trained Experts 

Cleaning your air ducts requires specialized training to remove all of the contaminants properly. At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, we don’t even use subcontractors to clean our customers’ air ducts. All of our technicians are fully-trained employees who have helped countless homeowners improve their air quality by successfully removing contaminants from their ductwork. We even stand behind our work by offering a 100% money-back guarantee.

Professional Cleaners Use the Right Equipment

A professional cleaner who arrives to clean your home’s air ducts will have the proper equipment to do the job. We use a specialized, powerful vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter that puts your heating and cooling system under negative pressure to remove contaminants. Our technicians will also have other cleaning tools at their disposal to dislodge any stubborn debris and professional camera equipment to see inside your ducts.

What Could Happen if You Clean Your Own Ducts

Without the proper training, equipment, and experience, you could run into issues trying to clean your air ducts. First, you could risk damaging your ductwork or other components of your HVAC system if you try to clean them yourself. You could also inadvertently release all the contaminants, allergens, and dust from your air ducts into your home. At the very least, a DIY air duct cleaning could be ineffective and incomplete, wasting your time and negating the cost-savings that pushed you to do it in the first place.
