Your air ducts are an integral part of your HVAC system. After all, it is where the cooled or heated air travels to reach the different rooms inside your home. Unfortunately, your air ducts are also where dust, allergens and other debris tend to collect, and your air filters can only do so much so keeping your ducts clean is important not only for your overall indoor air quality, but also for you and your family’s health.
As mentioned above, your ductwork will collect dust, pollen and other small particles over time. If left alone, it can circulate around your home and cause problems especially if you have a family member that is prone to allergies.
Mold is also a common problem inside ductwork and can be a real pain to fix by yourself. If there is enough mold in and around your vents, it can spread in the air and cause allergy-like symptoms such as headaches, itchy eyes, nausea and a runny nose.
Most HVAC maintenance companies recommend that you have your ductwork professionally cleaned every three to five years. But this is the absolute bare minimum. You may have to have your ducts thoroughly cleaned more often if you live in an older home, have pets, live with someone with a respiratory illness, or if you smoke inside the house.
