Answers to FAQs About Springtime Duct Cleaning

As winter fades, many homeowners take on the task of cleaning and maintaining certain aspects of their homes. Despite the mad dash to get rid of dust and grime, not a lot of people pay attention to their air ducts. With spring just around the corner, it makes sense to include them in every spring cleaning checklist. 

Today, we answer the most commonly asked questions about spring duct cleaning.

Why Is Spring Essential for Duct Cleaning?

There are many reasons to have your home’s ductwork cleaned this spring. One of the most notable is that it helps improve indoor air quality. Pollen and allergens can enter and circulate around your home, triggering asthma attacks and other respiratory problems among your family members. By having the ducts cleaned, stray pollen and other airborne particles can move through them freely and get caught by your HVAC’s filters.

How Often Do I Need to Get My Air Ducts Cleaned?

There is no industry standard for how regularly to clean your air ducts. Except in extreme cases, your ducts should only need cleaning once a year. In fact, many people go two years without cleaning. Prevent debris and dirt from entering your ducts by having them cleaned regularly. Set up a cleaning schedule with a reliable cooling and heating repair contractor.

How Long Does It Take to Clean the Air Ducts?

The time it takes to clean the ducts is dependent on the size of your home and the configuration of the ductwork. With two skilled experts, duct cleaning inside an average-sized home may be completed in three to five hours.

Will Duct Cleaning Reduce Energy Bills?

Yes, it is arguably the simplest way it can help lower your home’s energy consumption. By having your home’s ductwork cleaned, your air conditioner or furnace doesn’t have to work twice as hard to keep your home at comfortable temperatures, which means you won’t have to worry about spending more energy.
