Seven months of heating pushes air through your ducts
Your furnace runs October through April here, with nights averaging 29°F in the coldest months. That's seven months of air moving through the same ductwork, carrying dust and whatever else settles in the return side back through the system.
Creek County has seen 65 damaging wind events and 9 winter storms over the past ten years. Wind drives dust and debris into gaps around vents and returns, and storm damage can open up the ducts themselves to attic or crawlspace air. What builds up in there doesn't just sit still. It gets pushed into the rooms you're heating and cooling all year.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every home. Homes with pets, a recent renovation, or someone with allergies usually need it more often than homes without those things. A furnace that runs October through April here pushes air through those ducts for 7 months straight, so it's worth having them checked if you can't remember the last time they were cleaned.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it when there's visible dust coming from the vents, a musty smell when the system runs, or someone in the house with allergies that flare up indoors. It won't fix a heating or cooling problem, and it won't lower a utility bill on its own. If the ducts look and smell fine, there's usually no urgent need for it.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to loosen dust and debris before pulling it out through the vents. The registers, the supply and return lines, and often the coil are all part of the job. A contractor can walk through what your system needs before starting.
