FAQs

Is duct cleaning necessary in Toronto?

Duct cleaning is typically not necessary in Toronto or elsewhere in Ontario, however, it does offer several benefits. Though a certain amount of dust in your ducts is not only normal but safe, a visible build-up of dirt, dust, and grime can be hazardous to your health. For example, in some cases, a major build-up of dust can attract pests or lead to mould. If you suspect the presence of mold or pests in your air vents, professional duct cleaning may be necessary. In addition, if you own a pet or recently moved into a new home, you may wish to schedule a duct cleaning for peace of mind. Ultimately, regular duct cleaning is one way to ensure the air in your home is safe and healthy. Please note that duct cleaning is complex and requires special equipment. Therefore, Toronto homeowners should never attempt to clean their air ducts themselves. Instead, you should hire a professional to do the job for you. A professional technician, like those at AtlasCare, will ensure your duct cleaning goes off without a hitch.

How often should home ductwork be cleaned?

Experts recommended that the ductwork in your home be cleaned by a professional every two to three years. However, some Toronto residents may wish to clean their ducts more frequently. For example, if you have pets or someone in your home suffers from allergies or a respiratory illness, you may want to consider having your ducts cleaned annually. Further, no matter when you last had your ducts cleaned, if you notice a build-up of dirt, mold growing, or you suspect your ducts might be infested with pests, you should call a professional HVAC company to clean your ducts immediately.

How do I know if my ductwork needs to be cleaned?

The most obvious sign that your ductwork needs to be cleaned is if you take a peek inside and notice a significant build-up of dirt, dust, and grime, or if you see mould or pests. That said, looking into your ducts isn’t always easy. Therefore, a few other signs that your ductwork needs cleaning is if the rooms in your home are not heating or cooling evenly, if your energy bills have risen without explanation, if you notice an unpleasant odour emanating from your ducts, or if there is unstable or poor airflow throughout your home.

If you still aren’t sure whether the ductwork in your home needs to be cleaned, contact AtlasCare today. One of our technicians would be happy to answer your questions over the phone or come to your home to do an inspection. From there, we can offer our professional opinion as to whether your ducts require cleaning.

What are the benefits of duct cleaning in Toronto?

Duct cleaning offers all kinds of benefits to Toronto residents. First, it can increase the energy efficiency of your home. This is because when your ducts are clean, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to do its job, thereby lowering your monthly energy bills. Second, regular duct cleanings may extend the life of your HVAC system. The dirtier your ducts, the harder your HVAC unit has to work to heat or cool your home, and the more it wears down. Conversely, if your air ducts are clean, you can rest easy knowing you’re getting the best possible performance from your HVAC units, minimizing the cost of HVAC-related repairs in the future and prolonging the lifespan of your system. Lastly, duct cleaning can reduce the amount of dirt, debris, and toxins that make their way into the air in your home. This may be especially beneficial to people with allergies or respiratory illnesses.

In contrast, Toronto homeowners who fail to clean their ducts when needed may face a whole host of consequences. For example, never cleaning your ductwork can lead to restricted airflow in your home, a less efficient (and therefore a more expensive) HVAC system, and unnecessary wear and tear on your existing HVAC units. In extreme circumstances, a build-up of dust, dirt, and grime can become a breeding ground for mould, mites, and other vermin. To prevent a pest infestation, along with mould growth, be sure to clean the ducts in your Toronto home regularly.

What are ducts in a house?

Ducts are a system of tubes, typically made of a rigid metal like aluminum or galvanized steel, that connect the HVAC system with the air vents in your home. The HVAC units in your home, whether they be an air conditioner or a furnace, pull air in through an intake vent, heat or cool the air depending on the thermostat setting, and then force that air to blow through the ducts and air vents to reach every corner of your home. Some people like to think of air ducts in your home like lungs in a person. They exist for air to pass through them and as long as they remain clean, they can continue doing their job. Air ducts that are clear of debris will continue to circulate safe, healthy air. However, if they become clogged or dirty, serious problems can arise. For example, the air quality in your home may become poor and your HVAC system may have to work harder to do its job, shortening its lifespan and increasing your monthly utility bills.

Our FAQS

Providing You With Answers & Solutions
  • Air conditioners vs. furnaces: Which is more expensive?

    The price to purchase and install a new furnace or AC unit is relatively similar. However, it’s important to look past your initial investment by budgeting for the costs of operation and maintenance. Generally, furnaces will be more expensive to maintain than air conditioners because they require more energy to heat your home, resulting in higher energy bills.

  • What size furnace do I need for a 1,500 sq. ft. home?

    If your residential property is approximately 1,500 square feet in size, you’ll need a furnace with an output of 40,000-90,000 BTUs (British thermal units) to distribute adequate heat throughout your home. Our HVAC experts can inspect your property and recommend a suitable furnace size based on your preferences and budget!

  • How much does it cost to install a new furnace or AC unit?

    The cost of installing a new furnace or air conditioner in your home will depend on the size of your home, the type of unit you buy, and the age and condition of your home’s ductwork. For your convenience, AtlasCare offers detailed estimates and same-day installation for furnaces and AC units!

  • How long do furnaces last in Oakville?

    The exact lifespan of your furnace will depend on certain factors, including the type of furnace, the size of your home, and maintenance frequency. Scheduling regular maintenance from a licenced technician is key to extending your furnace’s lifespan. In Oakville’s climate, gas furnaces typically last around 15-20 years, while electric units can last up to 30 years with proper care.

    At AtlasCare, our seasoned professionals offer preventative maintenance plans to extend the longevity of your unit and keep your furnace operating at its best!

  • How much does HVAC cost?

    The cost of residential HVAC services varies significantly between homeowners, making it tricky to put a price tag on heating and cooling services. For example, the cost of replacing an air conditioner or furnace is different from installing a boiler or ductless mini-split system. The total cost will depend on several factors, including:

    • The type of service (installation, repair, or maintenance)
    • The type and quality of the product
    • The complexity of the project
    • The size of your home
    • Past maintenance frequency
    • Any existing damage to your property

    Keep in mind that the upfront investment is just one part of HVAC costs. While it’s important to consider the price of installation, it’s equally important to budget for long-term operation and maintenance costs.

    At AtlasCare, we offer detailed estimates to give you a better understanding of pricing based on your property’s unique specifications.
