11% Savings on Energy Costs – Sounds Great!
Of course we have always known and touted the benefits of cleaning your heating and cooling systems including the air ducts. But, now I have come across research that suggests not only is it a good idea, it can also save you 11% or more in your energy costs.
Apparently as much as 30% of energy used in an average home or commercial building is attributed to ventilation, heating and cooling. I had no idea it was that much. In today’s economy saving even 11% of that cost seems like a pretty good idea.
So how does duct work become so dirty that it costs us more money. Simply using our systems on a day in day out basis is what causes them to become dirty. Dirt, dust, animal dander and other things filter through our systems everyday. Naturally we know that changing the filters regularly does help but it cannot ultimately keep up over time. Strangely enough even a brand new system from a brand new home could have already been contaminated by things just because of the construction.
All that to say this. We’ve always known cleaning the system including the air ducts is a great idea. Now there is even research to back it up.
