The only immediate step you need to take after the air duct cleaning finishes is changing your furnace filter. It’s likely to accumulate some dust and debris during the cleaning process. There’s no need to replace the filter before the cleaning starts, as a dirty air filter won’t affect the cleaning process. Regularly replacing your air filter is one of the best steps you can take to keep your air ducts clean in the months after a pro cleans them. The pro should clean up any mess left behind and reattach all the grates.

You can add return vent filters to your HVAC system to help remove contaminants from the air. However, you should avoid adding return vent filters if your HVAC system already has a filter in its air handler. Filters can restrict airflow, which will make your HVAC system work harder.

To lower your home’s humidity level overnight, you can open your windows when the air is less damp. This tactic allows air to circulate around the window, preventing condensation from forming.

Homeowners insurance may cover ductwork if a covered peril, like vandalism, fire, or a windstorm, causes the damage. However, it won’t cover damage caused by homeowner neglect or regular wear and tear. Since rust is often a byproduct of neglect, repairing it likely won’t be covered. And insurance will never cover maintenance tasks like air duct cleaning or HVAC service.
