Back-to-School Basics of Air Duct Cleaning

As students gear up once again to head back to school, there’s no better time for homeowners to get an education of their own. Luckily, learning the basics of air duct cleaning doesn’t take long — and the benefits are outsized. Since air ducts are out of sight and out of mind, most homeowners don’t think much about them. But they move a lot of air around the house, which means they also help move indoor air contaminants like dust, dander, pollen, and other allergens. This is why clean ducts are essential to maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Read on to find out more about duct cleaning.

When to Clean Air Ducts

Unfortunately, most people don’t have their ducts cleaned as often as they should. For best results, every three to four years is best. But there are also some signs to look out for that indicate overly dirty air ducts. These signs include strange smells coming from the ducts, weak airflow, visibly dusty air, and even odd noises when the ducts are in use.

Ducts can collect dust and other allergens from several sources. They can develop holes in them, animals can chew through them and call them home, and dust gets into them from the house itself. When the ducts are dirty, it can cause weak airflow. This‌ can cause the air conditioning bill to skyrocket. So homeowners who notice an abnormally high power bill should keep this in mind. It’s also a good idea for those moving into a new home to have the ducts inspected and cleaned if they’re dirty.

Why Clean Air Ducts Are Importantair duct cleaning benefits

The main benefit of clean air ducts is cleaner indoor air through reduced allergens. Indoor air quality is generally very poor — sometimes as much as five times worse than outdoor air quality. And while changing the air filter on time is one way to keep the air inside cleaner, it’s also important to have ducts cleaned for optimum effect. When so many allergens are stirred up from dirty ducts, those living in the home with breathing or allergy problems suffer the most.

Regular duct cleaning can help those with sensitive respiratory tracts or severe allergies to breathe easier. It’s a major pillar of maintaining healthy indoor air. But there’s often another benefit as well: energy savings. Dirty ducts can contribute to inefficient operation of the HVAC system. Keeping them cleaned can help lower the energy bill!

How to Keep Ducts Clean

While there’s no better way to clean ducts than with a professional HVAC company, homeowners don’t need to schedule cleaning every year. There are simple ways to help keep ducts clean between professional duct cleaning. The best way to do this is to change the air filter regularly. How often will depend on the type of filter, how much the system is used, and if the homeowner has pets? One should change most disposable air conditioner filters at least once every three months. Those who use their air conditioner more may want to change the filter every two and a half months. And those with one or more pets may want to up that to once every two months. Pets, after all, contribute a lot of dust and dander to the air. It’s also a good idea for homeowners to verify that they’re using the best filter recommended for their HVAC system by asking their friendly neighborhood HVAC technician!
