Q: Can dirty air ducts restrict airflow?

• <div><p>Yes, dirty air ducts restrict airflow, reducing your HVAC's efficiency. This forces your system to work harder, increasing energy costs and wear and tear on your HVAC. Reduced airflow leads to uneven heating or cooling, seriously reduced indoor air quality, and can potentially trigger allergies or respiratory issues.</p></div>

Q: Should my HVAC damper be open or closed?

• <div><p>Whether an HVAC damper should be open or closed depends on the season, the zone it controls, and the temperature in that zone. In the summer, open upstairs dampers and close lower-level dampers to get the most efficient cooling possible. In the winter, do the opposite. Cool air will naturally flow down to lower levels, while warm air will rise. This keeps your system from working harder and helps prevent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/troubleshooting-common-air-conditioning-problems.htm">common AC problems</a>.</p></div>

Q: How often should the air ducts in your home be cleaned?

• <div><p>Air ducts should be cleaned every three to five years, though the frequency can vary based on factors such as household conditions and local environmental factors. For homes with pets, smokers, or high dust levels, more frequent cleanings every two to three years would be necessary to maintain optimal air quality. If you notice persistent odors, significant dust buildup, or signs of mold or rodent activity, schedule a cleaning sooner.</p></div>

Q: Why is my HVAC system so loud?

• <div><p>When your HVAC system is loud, a few different causes are possible. If you have loose connections or bolts in the hardware, they can rattle as the system runs and vibrates. If you have an extremely dirty furnace filter, it could cause the system to generate noise. More commonly, an excessively loud HVAC system indicates a malfunction in the system. You may have a blower motor that is close to failing or a compressor that is breaking down. These issues require an immediate inspection.</p></div>
