Chiberia 2.0: Add Air Duct Cleaning to Your Home's Winter Checklist!

Published 11/13/2014

With a cold-snap fast approaching, we know that everyone in Chicagoland is scrambling to winter-proof their homes! However, there is one often overlooked item on every homeowner’s winter-proofing checklist: air duct cleaning.

Why is ventilation cleaning a necessary part of your winter maintenance routine? Periodic cleaning of your home's HVAC system can help to prevent the accumulation of pet dander, allergens, construction debris, and other dirt particulates.

Think about it - Chicagoland has been nicknamed "Chiberia" during the bitterly cold winter months and the amount of time your family is going to spend indoors is set to double very soon. Indoor activities may increase dust accumulation in your system. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average home accumulates about 40 pounds of dust per year! 

An increase in ventilation dust build-up usually means a decrease in the warm airflow that will keep your family comfortable all winter long. Combined with the prospect of holiday visits from potentially allergy-sensitive relatives like Grandma and Little Timmy and you can see why air duct cleaning is so essential to an efficient, warm Chicagoland home.
