When winter roles around here in Minnesota, most people just flip the switch on their heater and hope that it works well. Before you do that, taking a couple minutes to get your heating system and your ducts ready for winter use is probably a good idea. At Alpha Air, we provide complete duct cleaning in Minneapolis. With all of our experience and training, we thought it would be a good idea to put together a quick list of why you should get your ducts ready for the winter. If you need any help preparing your home’s ductwork for winter, call Alpha Air.

Schedule Professional Duct Inspection and Cleaning

Without actually getting up into your ducts, there’s really no way to know exactly what’s going on with them. When you schedule regular duct inspection and cleaning visits with Alpha Air, our professional technicians will visit your home and find out exactly what’s going on up there. We’ll be able to detect any leaks or mold build up that could be negatively impacting the air quality in your home. We also offer video camera duct inspection which allows us to get into areas of your ducts that might be unreachable.

Check Your Insulation

The insulation in your Minneapolis home is critical to the energy efficiency of your home. It might be a good idea to make sure that your duct’s insulation is in good working order as well.

Check Registers

Before you turn on your heater for the first time in your Minneapolis home, check the registers or ceiling vents of your heating system. If you notice cobwebs or dust collecting there, it most likely means that you need duct cleaning.

Benefits of Regular Duct Cleaning and Maintenance

During the winter here in Minneapolis, we shut up our homes tightly to keep the warm air in and the cold air out. Because of that, the air quality in our homes can suffer because we just keep circulating the dirty air through our home. Having your ductwork cleaned is a great way to remove many of those contaminants from your air supply. As air moves through your ducts, it picks up and disturbs any skins cells, pet dander, insect dropping and other contaminants, as it moves by. With thorough duct cleaning from Alpha Air, we remove those contaminants from your ducts and, therefore, from your air supply.
