What Every Homeowner Should Know About Cleaning Dirty Air Ducts

Air ducts aren’t often on anyone’s spring cleaning to-do list. The old adage about being out of sight and out of mind rings true regarding dirty air ducts. Unfortunately, neglecting air duct cleaning can cause other problems for the home. In fact, among other issues, it can undermine all the other spring cleaning around the house. But more importantly, air ducts play a big role in the proper function of the home’s HVAC system. So when the ducts are dirty, they need to be cleaned for everyone in the home. Read on to learn more about the benefits of regular air duct cleaning. 

Why Do Ducts Need to Be Cleaned?

Since the ducts facilitate air movement throughout the home, they can also facilitate the movement of dust, dander, and pollutants like volatile organic compounds. And considering that, on average, indoor air quality is several times worse than the outdoor air in even the most polluted city, homeowners who stay on top of duct cleaning can breathe easier. 

Not only do clean ducts keep the air clean, but they also help keep the HVAC system running efficiently. When there’s less dust and dander to gum up the works in the system, things will run smoother and last longer. Another benefit of duct cleaning is that it can help keep the rest of the home clean. Since the HVAC system kicks dust up every time it turns on, that dust is circulated throughout the house to land on beds, furniture, floors, lamps, and everything else. Less dust in the ducts means a cleaner house. 

Signs It’s Time to Clean the Air Ducts

While having air ducts cleaned once a year is ideal, it’s also a good idea for homeowners to keep an eye out for signs that the ducts need to be cleaned. There are several telltale signs to look out for, not the least of which is the presence of visible dust coming out of vents when the AC or heater turns on. Likewise, dust caked on the air vents is another sign of a buildup in the ducts. 

Of course, there are other, more serious signs that something is amiss in the ducts. A smell like mildew or animal musk, when the heater or AC turns on, could mean the ducts need attention. With a mildew smell, there’s probably moisture in the ducts, which is never good. If there’s an animal smell, it could be that a critter has gotten into the ducts. Both of these instances are causes for concern and should be addressed quickly. 

How to Maintain Clean Air Ducts

First off, regularly dusting and vacuuming the home will help prevent dust from accumulating in the ducts. Also, replacing the air filter on time is a great way to keep the ducts — and the home’s air — cleaner.

In short, cleaner ducts mean cleaner air. As a bonus, when a professional duct cleaning service comes in, they can also ensure that there’s no major damage to any of the ducts that could be costing money on energy bills. And there’s no better time than spring to get the ducts cleaned!
