"They were very professional. They nicely ran the new duct work and cleaned up after themselves. The furnace room looked nicer than when they walked in. They explained why the air conditioner went out due to the relay it was running on not being correct. They were quick and efficient on the job!"

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.

You normally won’t see any dust or mold actively floating out of your vent, but you might notice your vent looks dirty. Mold will cling to the sides and collect almost like black soot. Dust will look, well, dusty, but there will usually be a heavy buildup so expect thick gray layers on the bottom and sometimes the sides of the vent. If you suspect you have mold in your vents, call a professional immediately.

A calculation method that your HVAC contractor will use to ensure your system does what it's supposed to is measuring duct output, or its CFM. The calculation requires knowing the cross-sectional area of the ductwork and determining the air speed past any given point within it.

The number of return air vents a house should have depends on its overall square footage. You'll need one supply vent and one return vent for every 100 to 150 square feet of living space. This means that, ideally, there should be at least one return air vent in every room. However, if the room is 100 square feet or larger, it's better to have two or three. A 2,000-square-foot home should have between 13 and 20 return air vents, in total.

You can do simple maintenance to keep it clean and operating in peak condition. Start by replacing the furnace air filters as directed–often, this is once every month or every three. Next, clean your air vents once a month, as they can help you see how much dirty air filters through. If you notice them becoming dirtier, you should have your ducts cleaned. With flexible ducting being more susceptible to tears, you’ll want to hire a pro to do the work for you.
