Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

While homeowners can find DIY air duct cleaning tools, full duct cleaning is not recommended due to the complexity and specialized equipment required for the job. You can perform basic maintenance tasks like changing filters and vacuuming vents, but you can’t access all areas of the ductwork. It’s also not safe for homeowners to try to use high-powered vacuums and handle potential contaminants like mold and dust. Hiring a certified air duct cleaning service is the best option for a comprehensive and safe cleaning.

Yes. Getting a whole-house dehumidifier can help you save money on energy bills. How? Your home automatically feels cooler when there’s less humidity in the air (“It’s the humidity that gets ya!” is such a true statement). This means that you won’t need to run your AC as much as you would if you had all that extra humidity in your home.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that there's no conclusive evidence to show that dirty or dusty air ducts increase dust and airborne particles in your home or pose any risk to your health. On the other hand, your air ducts require cleaning if there's any mold or mildew, you have a rodent or insect infestation, or you have clogged ducts. Regular air duct cleaning will also extend the life of your HVAC system, leading to less frequent repairs and preventing premature replacement in the future.

The best location for return air vents is strategic to ensure balanced airflow and temperature control. In most homes, placing them in central, open areas like hallways or large living spaces is most effective. Ideally, they should be located across from a supply vent. Climate is also a factor: in warm climates, place vents high on the walls to help remove rising hot air, while in colder climates, lower placement is better. It's also important to ensure that vents placed low on walls are not blocked by furniture. The optimal placement ultimately depends on your HVAC system's design, your home's specific heating and cooling needs, and the accessibility of the ductwork.

Yes, you can grab your shop vac to clean air ducts, but it may not be as effective as professional equipment. Use a long hose attachment to reach deeper into the ducts and a brush to loosen dust. While it helps remove surface debris, it won’t provide a deep, thorough clean.
