Everything You Need to Know About Air Duct Cleaning

It’s springtime, and that means dusting off the spring cleaning checklist. Spring cleaning to-do lists are full of annual tasks that keep the home and its equipment clean and problem-free. One task often left off of checklists is duct cleaning. 

Duct cleaning is important because clean ductwork is the backbone of any home cleaning strategy. Here is a quick guide from local indoor air quality experts to encourage homeowners to protect their homes with spring duct cleaning.

Why is Duct Cleaning Necessary?

Numerous studies demonstrate that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air, so duct cleaning is important. People spend more time indoors, constantly exposed to poor indoor air quality. As an air conditioner moves air around the house, low-quality air is continuously being circulated through ductwork where it can accumulate pollutants like:
  • Dust
  • Pollen
  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Mold
  • Mildew

Spring cleaning is all about getting a fresh start for a clean home. However, if spring cleaning doesn't extend to ductwork, no amount of dusting or vacuuming can remove the nasty pollutants constantly circulating the home. Frequent exposure to low-quality air can lead to all kinds of respiratory problems, including worsening allergy symptoms. 

When is it Time to Get Duct Cleaning?

More than ever before, people are conscious of the air that they breathe. There are numerous things homeowners can do to improve air quality, and one of the most effective is duct cleaning. But, how do homeowners know when it’s time to get their ducts cleaned? Look for things like:

  • Time: Professionals recommend duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years in most cases, depending on factors like the age of the AC system and the presence of certain things in the home, like pets. In some cases, homes could benefit from more frequent duct cleanings. 
  • Odors: Sometimes odors are present that air fresheners can’t cover up. Usually, this is a sign that mildew and mold are growing in the ductwork. Homes that have a clammy, musty odor usually have dirty ductwork. 
  • Symptoms: The main motivation for air duct cleaning is to protect lung health. Symptoms that could indicate poor air quality are asthma symptoms, sinus infections, and extreme allergy symptoms. 

 

What Other Tasks Support Cleaner Ducts?dust

Some additional steps should be taken by homeowners who want to ensure their indoor air quality stays high between duct cleanings. Keeping the house clean ensures the air people are breathing inside the home is safe, so practices that keep air ducts clean also support a cleaner home. To keep the house and its air cleaner for longer, try things like: 

  • Groom pets and keep litter boxes and bedding clean
  • Upgrade air filters to better models and change more often
  • Aim to wash sheets once a week and other bedding once per quarter
  • Vacuum weekly
  • Dust surfaces every month
  • Use dehumidifiers and air filters to remove excess moisture and allergens
