How Often Should I Get My Air Ducts Cleaned?

Air Duct Cleaning: Recommended Frequency


Air duct cleaning is typically recommended every one to three years. Some reasons to clean more frequently include pets in the home, occupants who have allergies or asthma, and remodeling or construction work. The latter especially causes large amounts of dust and debris to be generated, which can clog up HVAC system parts—reducing system efficiency and decreasing indoor air quality. You'd be surprised by the things we find inside air ducts!

Because our Ultimate Duct Cleaning will leave your ducts as clean as they can be, after this top-level service the Standard Air Duct Cleaning will suffice every two to three years thereafter. Some of the things you can do at home to maximize the benefits of air duct cleaning in between services include vacuuming out vents, wiping down register covers, and, most importantly, regularly changing your air filter.  

If you are not sure whether an air duct cleaning is needed, have a look at some of the visible components of the system—the register covers and the vents just behind them, and your furnace itself. If a fair amount of dust is visibly present, it's fair to assume there's a similar amount inside the ducts themselves. When in doubt, you can sign up for the lowest level of service (Standard), and the technician can perform an assessment before work begins.
