The frequency of air duct cleaning depends on factors such as the size of your home or business, your HVAC usage, and the presence of allergens like pet dander, dust, or mold. As a general guideline, it’s recommended to have your air ducts professionally cleaned every 2 to 3 years. However, households with pets, allergy sufferers, or recent renovations may benefit from more frequent cleaning to maintain optimal air quality.

Signs that your air ducts may need cleaning include noticeable dust or debris coming from vents, reduced airflow, increased allergy symptoms, musty odors, or higher energy bills. If you’ve recently completed a renovation or moved into a new home, or if it’s been several years since the last cleaning, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection with a professional to assess your system.

Air duct cleaning removes dust, debris, and contaminants that can clog your system and restrict airflow. A clean system allows air to circulate more efficiently, which reduces strain on your HVAC unit and helps it perform at its best. This can lead to lower energy bills, a longer lifespan for your HVAC system, and improved indoor air quality for you and your family.
