The air ducts in your home are an important but often overlooked part of your home. They circulate air from your HVAC system to all the rooms in your home or workplace to keep you comfortable throughout the year. But what are the benefits of cleaning your air ducts, and how often should they be cleaned?
Just like anything else in your home or business, your air ducts and vents can get dirty over time through normal use. Once in the vents, dirt and odors can continue to build up and circulate every time you run your HVAC system.
Professional air duct cleaning companies like Modernistic use powerful tools to create negative pressure inside your vents and ducts. This negative pressure dislodges dirt or debris and allows us to extract it to our truck for safe disposal.
In short, it depends! As noted earlier, the air filters you use will typically trap most of the dust and dirt floating through your air, but there are a few scenarios where you should definitely consider scheduling professional duct cleaning services.
You should have your HVAC system inspected and cleaned if there is visible mold growth inside your ducts or other components of your HVAC system. If you can’t tell whether it’s mold or not, an expert can determine that for you. They may use an inexpensive laboratory test to confirm whether you have mold.
Additionally, mold or other contaminants in your ducts can cause unpleasant odors, which can be sanitized. Any time you pick up an unpleasant smell from your return air registers, you should have your system inspected. The source of the odor could be stale fumes from paint, tobacco, mildew, food, or something more tragic like a dead animal. Unusual odors are definitely cause for concern and warrant a cleaning or sanitizing.
You should have your ducts and vents cleaned if they are infested with rodents or insects. These critters can build nests and leave droppings that can eventually block your air ducts entirely. Treating the infestation is important for ensuring you and your family or staff have a safe, healthy living environment. You don’t need to be breathing in anything left behind by pests!
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should have your ducts cleaned if they are clogged with excessive dust and debris or if dirt particles are actually coming into your home or workplace from the supply registers. If you have to dust every time you turn on your air conditioner or furnace, that’s a good indication that it’s time to have some cleaning done.
According to the EPA, duct cleaning should be done on an as-needed basis. Most homeowners do not require it frequently. However, according to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), some property owners may need more frequent cleaning. These property owners include people who:
It’s important to rule out other sources of poor indoor air quality, such as frequently burning candles or using the wrong type of air filter, but if someone’s breathing issues aren’t helped by other methods, it may be time to clean the air ducts.
