Air Duct Cleaning 101

Why Air Duct Cleaning Matters

Your HVAC system circulates air throughout your home or business, and over time, dust, allergens, mold spores, and other contaminants can accumulate in the ductwork. This buildup can compromise indoor air quality, reduce system efficiency, and even pose health risks. Regular air duct cleaning ensures cleaner air, improved HVAC performance, and a healthier living environment.

Signs Your Air Ducts Need Cleaning

• Visible Dust and Debris: Dust blowing from vents or visible buildup inside ducts.

• Unexplained Allergies or Respiratory Issues: Increased symptoms among occupants.

• Mold Growth: Presence of mold inside ducts or on HVAC components.

• Unpleasant Odors: Musty or stale smells when the system operates.

• Insect or Rodent Infestation: Signs of pests within the ductwork.
