Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several reasons why your furnace filter might get dirty quickly. For example, if you run your furnace often, more air—and therefore, more contaminants—will flow through the system and clog your filter. Having pets is another reason that your filter accumulates dirt quickly. Also, thinner filters will get dirty faster than thicker ones.

Not cleaning your house on a regular basis can lead to elevated allergen levels, pest problems, mold growth, damaged belongings, and parts of your home falling into disrepair. Consistent cleaning prevents problems that can lead to illness and ensures you’re aware of the condition of everything in your home so you can maintain and repair things as needed.

Yes, professionals check venting ducts to ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.

High humidity is one of the most common reasons for air vents to sweat or produce condensation. When the cool, dry air from your HVAC unit meets warm and moist air in your home, it will cause condensation. Insulating your ductwork can help prevent this. If you live in a very humid region, a dehumidifier can also help.

The time it takes to clean your AC unit depends on factors such as its size, the level of dirt buildup, and the thoroughness of the cleaning process. A basic cleaning can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, while a more detailed cleaning involving disassembly and deep cleaning may take a few hours. Make sure you allocate enough time to ensure all components are properly cleaned for optimal efficiency and longevity of your AC unit.
