When to Clean Air Ducts - Expert Advice for Maintaining Indoor Air Quality

If you have ever removed a cover on a heat register you may have noticed how dirty the inside of air ducts can be. One of the best ways to keep your air ducts clean is to replace the furnace air filter regularly. When filters become clogged they allow dust to pass through them into your ductwork. Most 1" pleated filters should be replaced every month.

If someone in your household suffers from allergies or upper respiratory ailments, duct cleaning can help to ensure that airborne dust and mold are kept to a minimum. If dust or debris is visible coming through the vents while the air conditioner of furnace is running, or mold is seen growing on air registers, duct cleaning is recommended.
