How Often Should Duct Cleaning Be Done?

Air duct cleaning is essential in maintaining and improving the indoor air quality in your home. Failure to perform this task on a regular basis can cause allergens, dust and other debris to continuously circulate in your home. Furthermore, this may lead to respiratory problems among your family members.

How Often Should Your Ducts Be Cleaned

Experts generally recommend cleaning your ducts every three to five years. However, there are certain conditions that may require you to perform duct cleaning more frequently. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, you should clean your ducts more often if you:

  • Have pets at home
  • Live with someone suffering from a respiratory illness
  • Have allergies or live with someone suffering from allergies
  • Live with a smoker
  • Live in an older home

Signs That You Need to Clean Your Ducts

You might want to consider having your ducts cleaned as well if you’re planning for a new air conditioning installation. But normally, these are the signs that you should look out for to help you determine when it’s time to clean your ducts:

  • Dust around the registers
  • Visible dust in the ducts
  • Increase in allergy symptoms or respiratory discomfort
  • Increase in dust in your home

Remember that regular duct cleaning can save you from different kinds of inconvenience and discomfort. Make sure your home stays a comfortable and relaxing place by keeping your ducts clean.
