Top 6 Signs You Should Get Your Air Ducts Cleaned

Your air ducts may be hidden inside your walls and ceiling, but that doesn’t make them any less important to your air delivery system. In fact, most duct networks are directly responsible for how much air arrives in your home and how cool or warm it is. Plus, air ducts are the perfect passageways for contaminants to get stuck in overtime. Does that mean you should be cleaning your air ducts regularly?

At Express Air Conditioning and Heating, we don’t recommend frequent Pensacola air duct cleaning because it takes a while for enough particles to stick to your air ducts for it to be a problem. However, there are some situations that indicate an air duct cleaning is best for your home and your health.

When Should You Clean Your Air Ducts?

Be aware of the particles that could be sticking in your ducts over time. If you notice any of the following problems or situations, you should at least have your ducts looked at to make sure no repairs or cleaning are needed. Clean ducts mean healthier air and increased AC efficiency!

Insects & Rodent Droppings

Take a peek inside your air ducts wherever they are most easily accessible. If you see evidence of insect bodies or rodent droppings in the ducts, you may need to have them cleaned. As air passes over this organic waste, it can pick up microscopic particles and sweep them into your home’s breathable air. Low levels may not harm you, but if droppings and insect by-products continue to collect, your lungs may have a poor reaction.

Mold

If you smell a moldy or musty odor in your AC system, it’s best to have it looked at right away. Trapped moisture can allow mold to start growing in several components of your HVAC system, including the ducts. Mold spores in your hair are not something you want to mess with.

Duct Blockage

If you notice a significant decrease in airflow or increase in dust coming from your air vents, there may be something blocking your airflow. An air duct cleaning or even an air duct repair may be needed to identify and clear up the obstruction inside the air vent.

High Allergies

Your indoor air quality is directly related to what your air is collecting as it blows through your ductwork. If you notice allergy flare ups when you’re indoors — even after cleaning the other areas of your home — your ducts may be inserting allergens into your air. A thorough cleaning can eject all of those allergens from the air ducts and give you a better chance of overcoming airborne contaminants.

Home Renovations

After you have any kind of construction or renovation done in your home, your air carries more debris than you might think into the air ducts. It’s a good idea to make sure that construction debris doesn’t sit in your ducts and cause problems in the future.

Reduced AC Efficiency

Although increased energy bills can be caused by several factors, dirty or blocked air ducts could be the culprit. Cleaning your ducts — when advised by a professional HVAC expert — may take care of the problem and reduce your bill back to the normal amount.

How Do Professionals Clean Air Ducts?

You may think that cleaning your air ducts is a DIY project, but if you want a thorough and efficient duct cleaning, you need to let professionals take care of it. Expert technicians use commercial-grade vacuums and tactics to loosen and remove all of the debris in the ducts for maximum efficiency.
