A Day in the Life of Your Air Ducts

As the moon rises high into a midnight sky, you rest your head on your pillow and fall soundly asleep. Sometime after midnight, you wake up cold. You slide on your slippers and inch over to the thermostat, bleary eyed as you bump up the heat and then return to the warmth of your bed. You fall back asleep, and the next time you awaken your home will be warm. Something as trivial as changing your thermostat requires no second thought or effort. With the push of a button your home will cool down or heat up at your request. What you might not consider is the process that occurs after you push that button. 

Your air ducts play a vital role in making the change happen, as they work tirelessly to keep you comfortable, even while you sleep! Without these silent protectors, your home would reflect your outside environment. Your air ducts never take a break from their hard work! They continuously pump filtered, fresh air to various areas of your home, keeping you comfortable and your home safe from environmental harm. With continuous use, your air ducts are likely to accumulate dust, debris, and allergens like pollen over time. In order for them to continue to work diligently, you should consider the environment you live in and risk factors that will impact their functionality.

The Charleston Design: Why Your Ducts are Unique

Charleston, South Carolina. A beautiful coastal city bustling with history and the rapid growth of 21st century modernity. The city’s population is growing at least three times faster than the national average, with more than 40 people moving here every day. A popular highlight of Charleston is its temperate environment with hot and humid summer days stretching into mild winters, all of which is made bearable by air conditioning. With the local population on the rise, it’s imperative to understand how the coastal environment can impact your air duct’s ability to function. The salt water beach you spend summer days swimming in acts as a strong absorbent, which can significantly accelerate the corrosion process of metals. Rust can easily form on things like bicycles, your car’s framework, and even inside your home. Many of Charleston’s homes are considered historic, which means a meticulous renovation process to avoid damaging the historical charm of your home. Extreme levels of seasonal pollen can build up inside your air ducts, made worse by moisture and evaporated salt water.

It’s imperative to take care of your air ducts to mitigate rust and build up that can cause a blockage or breakdown of your entire system. When your HVAC does not work, moisture from Charleston’s high humidity levels can enter and put strain on the support system of your house. Excess moisture can lead to other problems such as mold growth. Having your air ducts cleaned will allow them to continue to work at full strength, keeping you comfortable and your home safe from harsh environmental conditions.
