The air ducting is important for making sure temperature-treated air gets from your HVAC system to each room in your home. Sometimes dust, pollen, and other allergens go along for the ride from the duct and get distributed throughout your home, creating all sorts of problems along the way.

It’s not always so noticeable to homeowners when is the right time for duct cleaning, but there are a few signs anyone can easily notice.

These include the following:

• Mold: Ductwork can be the perfect place for mold to grow because it’s dark and can get damp when there’s excess humidity
• Dust: Dust that wasn’t fully filtered from the outside can enter your home’s ductwork and get distributed throughout.
• Rodent or insect infestation: Insects and rodents are unwelcome guests and can be disease vectors, so cleaning up their nests to make sure they’re evicted can protect your home.
• Recent construction or renovation: Ducts may contain dust and debris that may be harmful to breathe in If you recently had work done on your home.
• Energy cost increases: High electric bills without any other explanation can indicate inefficient airflow in your ductwork caused by debris, forcing your system to work harder.

Signs If Ductwork is Damaged?

One of the major signs that ductwork is damaged is when a home is unevenly heated or cooled. The size of each room should be taken into account, but if the temperature or airflow from vents seems abnormal, it may be a sign that ducting is damaged somewhere in the home. Another sign of damaged ducting can include drafts in areas where there are no vents. If you notice these signs, our expert technicians can come in to locate and repair damaged ducting.
