FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for reducing airborne irritants?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants can build up in your duct system. When your heating or cooling system runs, these irritants are circulated throughout your home, potentially aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. Regular duct cleaning helps clear out these contaminants, improving your indoor air quality and providing cleaner, healthier air.
How often should I have my ducts cleaned?
In most cases, it’s recommended to have your home’s ducts professionally cleaned every three to five years. However, if you have pets that shed, recent home renovations, smokers in the household, or family members with allergies or breathing difficulties, you may want to schedule cleanings more frequently.
Can duct cleaning help alleviate allergy or asthma symptoms?
While duct cleaning isn’t a cure-all for allergies or asthma, removing built-up dust, dander, and other contaminants from your ductwork can improve air quality. This can help reduce some of the common triggers that can exacerbate respiratory or allergy symptoms, especially when combined with other measures like using high-quality air filters and maintaining good overall home cleanliness.
What are some signs that indicate my ducts may need cleaning?
Common signs include visible dust or dirt around vents, unexplained musty or stale odors, frequent allergy flare-ups among household members, and reduced airflow from your vents. You might also notice an unusual amount of dust accumulating on your furniture even shortly after you clean the house.
Does duct cleaning affect my heating or cooling system’s efficiency?
Yes. Accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants in your ductwork can restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. By keeping your ducts clean, you help your system run more efficiently, potentially prolonging its lifespan and reducing energy costs over time.
How do I prepare for a duct cleaning appointment?
On the day of service, clear the area around your HVAC system, vents, and registers so the technician can easily access them. Remove any fragile decorations or furniture from the work area, and speak with the technician about any specific concerns (like mold or pest issues) before they begin.
