Common Questions About Air Duct Cleaning

 

Duct cleaning has become increasingly popular in recent years due to increased awareness of the negative health effects associated with mold, mildew, and dust mites. However, many people don’t know where to begin or what to expect when they’re seeking to hire an air duct cleaning company. These are some of the most common questions about air duct cleaning that you should be asking.

How Do I Know If My Air Ducts Need Cleaning?

There are some common signs to keep an eye out for to know when your air ducts need some extra help. If you notice air from your vents smells different than usual, or if mold or mildew is growing in them, it’s time to clean them.

Also, if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you may want to schedule an air duct cleaning:

• Smells in your home
• Heating/cooling problems
• Household allergies or asthma issues

Allergy and asthma sufferers should also consider cleaning their ducts because it can reduce pollen, dust, and pet dander circulating throughout your HVAC system.

How Long Will It Take To Clean My Duct System

The time it takes to clean your ducts depends on various factors, including size, shape, and materials. For example, it may take an hour to clean a small apartment but up to 8 hours for a large house with multiple levels.

It’s hard to give an exact answer because every job is different, but we provide you with a good estimate before starting work.

How Often Should I Have My Air Ducts Cleaned?

The CDC and EPA recommend professional air duct cleaning services for your home about every three to five years or once every two to three years if you have a history of allergies or asthma. You should also consider professional duct cleaning if you see visible mold in your vents or notice that your house smells like mildew or dust. You should get more frequent cleanings if there’s a lot of allergy-causing mold in your area.
