When You Should Consider Duct Cleaning For Your Home

Some circumstances require air duct cleaning:

Moving into a new home: If you are building a new home, it's a good idea to have the air ducts cleaned before you move in. This way, the drywall dust and other debris that accumulates due to construction can be eliminated, giving you a clean home to move into.

Damp smells and moldy conditions: If your ductwork isn't well insulated, condensation can accumulate in your ducts and become a breeding ground for mold and mildew. If your home smells musty and there is dampness in the air, or if you experience bouts of coughing and irritation to the skin, you should think of getting the air ducts cleaned. Killing the current growth by sanitizing the ducts will also help prevent mold from forming in the future.

Pests and vermin: There could be bugs and pests in your air ducts and contaminating the air circulating through your home with their odor and debris. If you ever see pests or vermin around your air returns or vents a proper cleaning of the air ducts is in order.

Increased cold and allergy symptoms: Dirty ducts can circulate polluted air around the house, leading to aggravated health conditions like allergies and cold-like symptoms. Dust mites can reside within air ducts, causing allergic reactions and even bringing on asthma attacks in those prone to respiratory disorders.
