FAQ
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
Air ducts should generally be cleaned every 3 to 5 years, depending on factors such as the presence of pets, allergies, or recent renovations. If you notice dust buildup or decreased air quality, more frequent cleaning may be needed.
What are the signs that my air ducts need cleaning or repair?
Common signs include excessive dust in your home, uneven airflow, unusual odors, mold growth, or an increase in your energy bills. You may also notice that your HVAC system is running less efficiently.
How does air duct cleaning improve indoor air quality?
Cleaning removes dust, allergens, mold spores, and other contaminants from your air ducts. This leads to cleaner air circulating throughout your home, reducing respiratory issues, and allergies, and improving overall air quality.
Can air duct cleaning improve energy efficiency?
Yes! When air ducts are clean, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature. This can lead to lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills.
Is air duct repair necessary if there’s only a small leak?
Even small leaks in air ducts can cause your HVAC system to lose efficiency. Repairing leaks is important to ensure proper airflow, improve efficiency, and prevent contaminants from entering your home’s air supply.
