What are the benefits of duct cleaning?
Over time, as your HVAC system is used season after season, contaminants like dust, mould, and mildew can build up in your air duct system. These buildups can also cause unpleasant smells to permeate your home.
That’s not ideal for your health or home comfort.
The benefits of having your ducts cleaned means you can:
Does duct cleaning remove mold?
Mould is one of the nastier things that can build up in your air ducts, and a thorough cleaning can help remove it.
Mould can be particularly dangerous for people to breathe in and an infestation of this unfriendly fungus can grow worse if not treated; a duct cleaning solution from the pros at Boonstra will ensure that any mould in your air ducts is safely extracted.
Will duct cleaning help allergies?
Yes, duct cleaning can help with certain allergy symptoms you’re experiencing in your home.
Much of the dust and contaminants that build up in your air ducts can irritate allergy symptoms and make them worse.
Duct cleaning can reduce the level of these contaminants to help reduce allergy symptoms and allow you to breathe easier.
Will cleaning the ducts in my house make me sick?
The actual act of duct cleaning is unlikely to make you sick.
On the other hand, allowing contaminants to build up in your ducts over time, however, can cause health risks, as they have an adverse effect on the air you’re breathing indoors.
We do recommend you do not attempt to clean your home’s ducts yourself; this is a job best left to professionals with the right equipment.
Will duct cleaning help improve airflow/HVAC performance?
Yes: cleaning your ducts can help improve their airflow and the overall performance of your HVAC system.
While the primary concern with duct cleaning is to ensure the air that’s moving through them and into your home is free of dangerous contaminants and healthy to breathe, it can also help increase the quality of your heating & air conditioning system for maximized home comfort all year long.
How long will duct cleaning take?
Duct cleaning usually takes between 4 and 6 hours.
How long it takes exactly will vary depending on the size of your home, as larger homes have more ducts.
The length of time it takes will also depend on when your home’s ducts were last cleaned and how much debris needs to be removed.
How often should I have my ducts cleaned?
Boonstra recommends you have your ducts cleaned every two years.
A thorough duct cleaning will eliminate the buildup of debris and can remove potentially harmful contaminants like allergens and mould.
If you’re experiencing increased allergy symptoms or an unpleasant smell coming from your ducts, a duct cleaning could help.
Should I try to clean my own ducts?
No. We do not recommend you attempt to clean your home’s ducts yourself; this is a job best left to professionals with the right equipment.

What is the purpose of duct cleaning?
Your air ducts are responsible for delivering heated and cooled air throughout your home to create a comfortable living space. Additionally, they are also responsible for ventilating the air in your home as well. However, throughout the year, your air ducts are prone to collecting dust, hair, dirt, and other airborne debris. When this happens, your air ducts can become clogged, causing you to use more energy to heat and cool your home. More importantly, it can significantly decrease the quality of your indoor air.
Therefore, when the air quality indoors is poor, not only can you and your family experience unexplained allergy and cold-like symptoms, but it also puts you at risk of other respiratory conditions. On the other hand, the collection of debris can also:
To prevent this from happening, homeowners will want to book duct cleaning service at least once every two years. However, if you live in a home with pets and several family members, it is recommended that homeowners clean their air ducts at least once a year.
During a duct cleaning service, a professional cleaning team will come to your home and use an industrial-powered vacuum to remove all the built-up debris. They will then clean out the insides of your air duct system to remove anything that has remained to ensure a spotless finish that will give you peace of mind knowing your home’s air quality has improved.
What are the benefits of duct cleaning?
There are numerous benefits homeowners can experience when they invest in duct cleaning services for their homes . Therefore, if you are still unsure about whether duct cleaning is something you want to do, here are some of the benefits you can experience:
As you can see, duct cleaning is an essential and necessary home maintenance service that can help improve the overall comforts of your home. Additionally, it is also a vital maintenance service that can prevent allergies and other illnesses.
How do I know that I need a duct cleaning?
Unlike other home appliances that you interact with daily, your air ducts can be tricky to diagnose when there is a potential problem, especially when you don’t know what you are looking for. However, by taking note of these signs, you can keep an eye out around your home and catch potential problems before they become more severe.
The vents in each room are clogged.
One of the first telltale signs that your air ducts need cleaning is if there is dust, dirt, and other debris that has collected along with the vents in each room of your home.
Your HVAC air filters are clogged.
All HVAC systems have an air filter, whether it is a permanent one or a disposable one. Homeowners should examine their air filter to determine if it is dirty and clogged. If it is, then you should replace your filter or clean it. Additionally, homeowners will also want to book a duct cleaning in Hamilton to ensure their entire system is cleaned.
There is an unpleasant odor coming from your air ducts.
Typically speaking, unpleasant odors coming from your air ducts or HVAC system is a sure indicator that something is wrong. Therefore, if you notice a smell that is off, call a professional as soon as possible to diagnose and fix the problem.
Mould and mildew have begun to develop inside or around the exterior of your HVAC system.
When exposed to mould and mildew over time, your family’s health can be at risk. Therefore, if you examine your HVAC system and air ducts to find mold and mildew, then a more significant problem could spread to your home to cause more damage and should be addressed swiftly.
The airflow throughout your home has significantly diminished.
Has the airflow around your home diminished even when your HVAC system is working? This could indicate that your air ducts are clogged!
Your home gets extremely dusty very quickly.
Because your air ducts are filled with debris, they will be unable to ventilate clean air throughout your home, thus causing it to become dusty quickly.
Your monthly energy bill has increased.
Your HVAC system will have to work overtime and use more energy to make your home a comfortable temperature. As a result, your energy bill can increase significantly.
Strange noises are coming from your ductwork.
If your air duct system is making clicking, grinding, or other weird noises, there may be something wrong on top of it needing to be cleaned.

“We had an excellent experience using Boonstra. We needed a whole new furnace and A/C, as our existing was over 20 years old.

“The technician who came to service my furnace was polite and very thorough. I was expecting to just have a filter installed but he double checked to make sure the airflow and furnace was in tiptop shape. He even peeked at my AC unit quickly as he was leaving to let me know it should be cleaned! Super great service as always.“
