Air Duct/Vent Cleaning

Most homeowners don’t give a second thought about the vents in their house until they start noticing more dust, weaker airflow, or debris around the registers. Homes with multiple pets can also collect a surprising amount of pet hair and dander, especially around return vents and HVAC filters. Add in any remodeling dust, years of normal household buildup, pests, or simply not knowing when the ductwork was last cleaned, and there are plenty of legitimate reasons to have the system looked at. A little dust by itself does not automatically mean the whole system needs cleaned, but visible buildup, debris coming from registers, or material collecting farther inside the ducts are good reasons to take a closer look.

Professional air duct cleaning is meant to remove the dust, pet hair, dander, and other debris that has actually accumulated inside the duct system instead of just wiping off the vent covers. Things worth paying attention to include:

• Multiple shedding pets in the home
• Dust that seems to return unusually fast
• Visible debris inside the vents
• Recent remodeling or construction
• Debris coming from a register
• Weak or noticeably different airflow
• No idea when the ducts were last inspected or cleaned
