Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, air ducts and dryer vents are not the same. The dryer vent is connected to a specific appliance, the dryer, and is meant to direct the hot, moist air from the washed clothes to the outside of the home. Air ducts move air from the HVAC system around the home. It’s essential to schedule cleanings for the dryer vent and the air ducts.

If you have dirty vent covers, clogged air filters, noisy air ducts, or weak airflow, it might be time to get your air ducts cleaned. You should also call an HVAC professional if you notice any visible mold or believe that there are rodents or insects in your ductwork. Abnormally high energy bills can also be a sign of dirty ducts.

The biggest drawback of duct cleaning is improper work. When that happens, cleaning may release more dust and contaminants into your indoor air and harm your entire HVAC system. That's why working with a local HVAC specialist is essential to avoid a mess or even damage to your ducts.

Vents may blow air even though the air conditioning system is off because of the pressure difference between indoor and outdoor air or drafts from leaky ducts. Check for leaks or drafts in the ductwork or around windows and doors.

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.
