Wind, storms and five months of heat move a lot of dust through your ducts

Ardmore gets forty damaging wind events and five winter storms a decade. Wind pushes dust and debris into the house through every gap it can find, and storm damage opens up more of them. That dust settles in the ductwork long before anyone notices it.

Then the heat comes on. Your furnace runs November through March here, five months of pulling air through the same ducts and pushing it into every room. Whatever settled in the ducts during the rest of the year moves through the house each time the system runs.

How often should air ducts be cleaned?
There's no fixed schedule that fits every home. If anyone in the house has allergies, if you've got pets, or if you've had recent renovation work that kicked up dust in the attic or crawlspace, cleaning sooner makes sense. A contractor can look inside your ducts and tell you whether there's enough buildup to justify it now.
Is air duct cleaning worth it?
It's worth it if your ducts actually have a buildup of dust, pet hair, or debris you can see or feel coming through the vents. A contractor can check your system and tell you whether cleaning will help, since not every home needs it. If nobody in the house has allergy or breathing issues and you don't see dust blowing out of the vents, it may not do much.
What does air duct cleaning involve?
A contractor uses brushes and a vacuum system to loosen and pull dust and debris out of the supply and return ducts. They'll check the vents, the main trunk lines, and the coil area near the furnace or air handler, since debris collects there too. Afterward, air should move through the system without kicking up the dust that had built up inside.
