How do you know if your air ducts need to be cleaned?

If you own an HVAC unit, then you know that having the air ducts cleaned is important for your indoor air quality. Some people think that because they have a filter in their system the air ducts do not need to be cleaned. However, it is important that the air ducts are cleaned every 2 to 5 years.

You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if:

• There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
• Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects).
• Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.
