How do my air ducts get dirty?
There are several different ways that the air ducts get dirty. As you enter your home from outside you carry in dirt, dust, pollen, grass and other pollutants which become airborne as you walk, sit, play and work inside your home. Other pollutants include carpet fibers, pet hair and dander, dead skin cells from your body, make-up, insects and other debris. These contaminants get circulated throughout your air duct system by the force of the return air vents and are then exhausted through the supply vents back into your home. Also, when you vacuum your home, it’s likely you are blowing the pollutants from the floor into the air that you breathe. These pollutants then get sucked up through the return air ducts and can further contaminate your duct system and your air.
How often should residential HVAC systems be cleaned?
Frequency of cleaning depends on several factors, not the least of which is the preference of the home owner. Some of the things that may lead a home owner to consider more frequent cleaning include:
- Smokers in the household.
- Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander.
- Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system.
- Residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants in the home's HVAC system.
- After home renovations or remodeling.
- Prior to occupancy of a new home.
How do I know if my ducts need to be cleaned?
- Do you see dust or mold buildup on your vents or areas around your vents sticking to the ceiling, wall, carpet & floors?
- Have you reached into your duct to see what you can grab with your hand?
- Is someone in your home having respiratory (allergy asthma) problems because of dust particles or mold spores in the air?
- Are the vents near your bed delivering dust particles or mold spores to you while you are sleeping?
- Does dust amount on your furniture as fast as you wipe it away?
