When Should You Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned?

Your ductwork in your home works as a funnel for all of the heating and cooling in your home so it reaches every single room in your home. If there is an issue with your ductwork, you'll have an issue with your heating and cooling as well. Your ductwork is very important and goes hand-in-hand with your HVAC systems. You may have never given your ductwork a second thought, but this part of your HVAC system needs attention from time to time as well.

Your ductwork is going to need to be cleaned throughout its lifetime, so if you haven't had yours cleaned in a while, there are a few signs that it should be done. Read on for signs that your ductwork needs to be cleaned.

1. Your Duct Work Has Never Been Cleaned Before

If you've been living in your house for several years, or even if you've just moved into an older home, you should probably have your ductwork cleaned out. The previous owners may never have had the ductwork cleaned out before either, so you should have it cleaned out to be sure the air you are breathing is as clean as possible. Old dust from years past is in your ductwork, and this is what you're breathing in. 

2. You Have a Lot of Dust or Dander

If you have a lot of dust and dander in your home, especially if you have pets, you should have your ductwork cleaned out to get rid of this dander and dust. Your HVAC system is more than likely circulating this dust and dander everywhere in your home, and the air filter can only trap so much of the dander. At some point, it will just end up in your ductwork to build up and will eventually make its way onto the surfaces of your home.

3. Someone in Your Home Has Breathing Issues

If you have anyone in your home that has breathing issues or has any type of allergies, it's in your best interest to have your air ducts cleaned out. Dander and dust in the home can aggravate these health issues and cause them to worsen. If you or anyone in your home has these types of breathing issues, have your air ducts cleaned out.

If you're noticing these mentioned issues, it's time to hire duct cleaning services. Soon, you'll be able to breathe a bit easier.

About Me

cleaning service for deep cleanings weekly

I have four kids that I have to take care of every single day. I love being a mother, but I don't enjoy trying to keep up with all of the housework that comes with these kids. If you add the two dogs into the mess, the time that I spent cleaning up after the creatures living in my home was more than I actually spent sleeping each week. I hired a cleaning service to come once every week to do the deep cleaning that I just couldn't get to. There are so many services that these companies offer that I wasn't aware of. Read on to find out what services your cleaning company could perform for you to give you more free time to enjoy.
