Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

You won’t have to do much to prepare for air duct cleaning. Make sure your vents are easy to access, and move any nearby furniture or other objects out of the way. If you have a furnace or air conditioner unit, ensure they are easily accessible. And if you have a pet, make plans to get them out of the house, if possible. Vent vacuuming can be loud and requires access to all rooms, so you may want to take extra steps for pet safety.

The simplest way to know if your return air vent is working properly is to test it. Take a piece of tissue or paper (the thinner, the better) and hold it up alongside the air return. If the return air vent is working as expected, it should suck the paper toward the vent. 

The frequency for cleaning air vents can vary. As a general guideline, you should inspect and clean your return air vents at least once a year, while a more thorough cleaning of all vents is recommended every two to five years. However, you should clean them more frequently if you notice a significant buildup of dust or debris on the vents, see mold growth, find signs of a pest infestation, or notice an unusual amount of dust accumulating on your furniture. More frequent cleaning may also be necessary to maintain good indoor air quality if household members have allergies.

Spring and fall are the best times to hire a pro to clean ductwork. It’s a good idea to clean and maintain your ducts before the HVAC system will be busy regulating temperatures day and night. Scheduling a cleaning in the spring and fall ensures that the system will be at peak efficiency during the summer and winter.
