Should I Have My Air Ducts Cleaned?

Take a moment to think about how much time you and your family spend inside your house. Even if you’re out and about for 12 hours every day, that’s still 12 hours per day that you’re spending indoors.

We spend a lot of time inside our homes — and that makes it all the more important to ensure that the air we’re breathing is free of harmful contaminants like dust and pollen. For many homeowners in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, one way to keep contaminants out of indoor air is to have air ducts professionally cleaned.

Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning

Air duct cleaning is the process of removing built-up contaminants like dirt, dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from the ductwork of your heating and cooling system. The duct cleaning process covers all areas of the duct system, including the supply and return ducts and the vents and registers in every room.

Having your ductwork professionally cleaned as needed can offer a number of important benefits, such as healthier overall indoor air quality (IAQ), less exposure to airborne contaminants, fewer respiratory symptoms, and reduction of odors.

Signs That It’s Time to Schedule Duct Cleaning

It can be tricky to determine whether or not your air ducts need to be professionally cleaned, and some homes will benefit more from duct cleaning than others. If any of the following scenarios apply to you, air duct cleaning may be a good idea for your home and indoor air quality:

• You or a family member suffer from allergies

• You have pets that shed frequently

• Pests or rodents have infested your ductwork

• There is visible mold growth inside air ducts

• Your house has been exposed to fire or flooding

• Someone in the household smokes indoors

• You’ve just moved into a new home
