Over time, dust, debris, and allergens build up inside your home’s air duct system. These contaminants circulate through your living spaces, affecting air quality and potentially triggering allergies or respiratory issues. Most experts recommend professional air duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years. However, factors like pets, recent renovations, or family members with asthma may require more frequent cleaning.

Signs you may need duct cleaning sooner include:

• Unusual odors when HVAC is running
• Visible dust coming from vents
• Recent construction or remodeling
• Uneven airflow or rising energy bills

A clean duct system improves HVAC efficiency and helps maintain a healthy home. If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can help determine your specific needs.
