WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEANING YOUR AIR DUCTS?
By cleaning your air ducts on a regular basis, you can:
- Help maintain good air quality: The air that returns to and is supplied by your air ducts is the air your family breathes every day. You want your air to be as clean as possible for health reasons. Without clean air ducts, bacteria, allergens, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, mild dew, and various other irritants and toxins can accumulate.
- Protect your heating and cooling systems: An unclean ventilation system can cause your air conditioner coils to become clogged, which can lead to an expensive repair. It can also cause contaminated blower wheels and other problems which can reduce the life of your HVAC system.
- Increases energy efficiency: By keeping your air ducts clean, you can increase the efficiency of your HVAC system. Air duct cleaning prevents dust and debris from restricting airflow that could strain major HVAC components. Your HVAC system will have to work harder, which requires more energy.
WHEN SHOULD I CLEAN MY AIR DUCTS?
In general, you should clean your air ducts every three to five years to keep your HVAC system running efficiently and protect your family.
However, if you notice any rodents or insects entering or exiting ductwork, or you find dust or black debris around the outside of duct lines, it’s time for professional service. Duct cleaning may be necessary if you start to see dirt or dust building up on vents and registers, or you can hear air moving through the ducts. If you suspect mold or notice unusual smells that don’t go away with time, contact us at THE AC HERO.
IS IT TIME TO INSTALL NEW AIR DUCTS?
There are situations when cleaning and repair will not do the job anymore. In these example situations, you have to replace the air ducts:
- Mold spores: Leaks can occur due to wear and tear, causing mold to infiltrate the air ducts. If this happens, the spores will come flying right into your room; It is much more effective to replace mold-infested ducts than to try to repair them.
- Improper duct design: This is a little painful, as you would expect duct installers to do their jobs right. But sometimes, they do it wrong. If the air ducts are not designed appropriately, they will not circulate air properly and will waste your money on power.
- Torn air ducts: Some air ducts are made of flexible material; as such, they can be easily dented, punctured, or If this happens, you need to replace them as they are completely useless.
- Old air ducts: Air ducts typically last about a decade; nature will take its course and the seals and joints eventually If you have old ducts, replace them. Deteriorated ductwork will end up costing you more in the long run.
- Loud noise: If there are rattling noises coming from the ducts or it sounds like metal banging on metal, there’s probably something very wrong; depending on the issue, it’s best to have new ducts installed to fix the problem.

Unclean air ducts can lead to serious health problems. Mold spores should never be taken for granted, as they can be fatal if inhaled by people who have serious allergic reactions to them.
