You are moving, how fun! Of course, you have a long list of things to do before you move. First, to make the move go smoothly, it’s essential to separate what you’ll pack and what you can toss or donate. Also, you may consider buying new furniture or measuring the rooms for your current furniture. And then there is the dreaded packing. In addition, you’ll want to prepare your new home for the move-in, which means cleaning (to your standards) and possibly painting and laying down new floors.
Although this is an exciting time, we all know that moving can be pretty stressful, so why not begin this “fresh” start in life for you and your family with the cleanest slate possible - clean indoor air. Whether you are moving into a brand new build or a lived-in, classic home, air duct cleaning is a fantastic way to make this home feel like yours. Here are five reasons to have your ducts cleaned before moving in:
Breathe New Life into Your Home: The Essential Guide to Air Duct Cleaning Before Moving In
1. Remove Mold.
If you or your loved ones suffer from allergies, you’ll want to make sure that all potential allergens are removed from your environment. Anyone
allergic to mold
knows how uncomfortable it is to be subjected to spores. Mold can thrive both outside, and inside your home, so you should be checking for mold in damp places like bathrooms, the basement, and the kitchen. Mold can also appear in walls and your HVAC system. The problem is that it’s challenging to go through your system looking for signs of mold. Have a trusted air duct cleaning company inspect and remove mold, if any.
2. Remove Dust and Debris.
You may want to renovate or paint to put your stamp on your new home. Dust from sanding and painting can get stuck in the air vent system (trade workers typically don’t do that level of clean-up). And with new construction specifically, items can be discarded or simply fall down the vents. For these reasons, air vent cleaning before a move-in can be of particular importance as it helps to ensure clean indoor air and prevent any allergy flare-ups or breathing discomfort.
3. Remove Pet Hair and Dander.
Having pets is a true joy - they give us unconditional love and make us feel special (okay, sometimes not cats). While pets like reptiles and fish don’t have fur or dander, our furry friends with whom we like to cuddle can cause humans mild to severe allergic reactions. According to the American Lung Association, there are over 161 million cats or dogs living in American households, so the chances are that you are either one of those households or are moving into one of those houses. If you suffer from a pet dander allergy, you will want to clean the air ducts in your new home before moving in.
4. Ensure Your HVAC Systems Run Effectively and Efficiently.
There can be several reasons why your HVAC system doesn’t function as effectively as it should. Items can inadvertently fall through the system, ductwork could be damaged, ducts could have leaks, and air filters could be dirty. For these reasons and more, your HVAC system could be running inefficiently and could be raising your heating or cooling bills. Before moving into an older home or new construction, consider mitigating the risk of an inefficient HVAC system by having your ducts inspected and cleaned.
5. Remove Old Cooking, and “Lifestyle” Smells From Previous Owners.
We all like to have a clean slate. Whether moving to a new desk, new workplace, new room or new house, it’s essential for our new space to feel like ours. So, what do we usually do? Clean!
Most of us will go into a new home and either clean it ourselves or have professionals clean the space to our satisfaction. Something is satisfying about knowing that this new environment has no lingering smells from construction, cooking, smoking, or lifestyle choices. Cleaning the air ducts before moving in can help you feel completely comfortable in your environment.
Overall, moving to a new home is stressful, but it’s an exciting event! You’ll feel great as the items on your to-do list get checked off; this includes removing mold, construction dust, and allergens and removing any hint of previous owners. With a trusted air duct cleaning company, you and your family can enjoy your new home with cleaner air and get the fresh start you deserve.
