What Apple Valley Residents Should Know About Winter Air Duct Cleaning

Most Apple Valley residents are making good use of their HVAC systems during this time of year. But because of the presence of highly combustible dust, running your HVAC may raise the risk of fires. Getting professional air duct cleaning on a regular basis can prevent this. When it's time to schedule professional air duct cleaning in Apple Valley, CA, leave it to Comfy Air Inc. to do the job right.

Why Furnaces Are Fire Hazards

Furnaces, especially poorly maintained ones, can quickly ignite dust that accumulates in furnace ducts. The heat exchanger and burners in your furnace warm the air inside your home. Burners warm the heat exchanger to an incredibly high temperature. Over time, dust accumulates in the plenum above the furnace and will occasionally fall onto the top of the heat exchanger. If there is enough dust there, there is a good chance that the furnace will catch fire.

Dust can speed up how quickly a fire spreads even if the fire didn't start in the air ducts. Minor electrical fires and heat from the duct's exterior can cause everything within the ducts to ignite and spread a small fire quickly.

Duct Cleaning in Apple Valley

There's a significant likelihood your air ducts need cleaning if your air duct filters have been recently replaced but get dirty quickly. If you have pets, allergies, or multiple people living in your home, it's a good idea to clean your air ducts more frequently than the recommended three to five years.
