Do You Need Duct Cleaning?

Not sure if you need to have your ducts cleaned? Here are some signs that your ventilation system could use a good cleaning:

Dirty Filters: If you find that you have to clean or replace your filter more often than the manufacturer recommends - or you’ve forgotten to change it for a few months — it might be time to schedule a duct cleaning.
Dirty Registers: Kneel next to one of your registers and wipe it with a damp rag or cloth. Is it dirty?
Dust Floating in Air: If you can see dust floating out of your registers when your system runs, it’s time to call a professional.
Your Home is New: Building a home is a dirty job. It’s pretty common for us to find building debris inside the ductwork.
You Just Moved Into an Existing Home: If you are a new homeowner of an existing home, you probably don’t know much about the hygiene and cleaning habits of the previous owners.
You Just Completed a Large Remodeling Project: Sanding, pulling out old furnishings like carpets and cabinets, etc. can throw a lot of gunk and debris into the air. Even with frequent cleaning, some will end up in your ductwork (especially if your system was running during the process).
Mildew and Mold Growth: If you spot mildew or mold growing around your vents or clinging to the bottom of your registers, that’s a pretty clear sign you need a duct cleaning.
Unusual Noises from Your Ductwork: Your ductwork shouldn’t go bump in the night. Unusual noises in your ventilation can be a sign that there’s a clog that needs clearing.
Vermin (rodents or insects) Found a Way Inside Your Home: If they can get in, they will. Once there, not only is ductwork a nice cozy place to nest, but ductwork is also an easy way to travel from one area of your home to another.
It’s Been More than Five Years Since Its Last Cleaning: Has it been more than five years since your ducts were cleaned? If that’s the case, it’s time to call Comfort Services Heating & Air Conditioning to give your ventilation system a good scrubbing!
