The technician came on time and cleaned my dryer duct which included repairing a broken dryer vent cover and removing a bird nest. The price was reasonable for the amount of work done and I would definitely use them again!

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Ductwork will occasionally make noise as the metal experiences rapid temperature or air pressure changes. This is especially common when the furnace initially kicks on and pushes warm air into cold air ducts. However, this noise should not occur if the home is at a normal temperature most of the time. If you are hearing noises regularly, it may be a sign of a more serious problem.

According to the EPA, it’s not considered necessary to clean air ducts except on an as-needed basis. Issues that warrant cleaning include poor airflow, reduced energy efficiency, and odd odors or noises emanating from the ducts. Of course, regularly cleaning air ducts will only improve their performance and ensure no sudden issues arise. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning air ducts every three to eight years for efficiency and durability.

Air duct cleaning can save you money on your energy bill in several ways. Clean air ducts have better airflow, allowing your HVAC system to work more efficiently and reducing wear and tear on your HVAC unit. Finally, air duct cleaning helps keep your home at a consistent temperature so you don’t have to crank up the thermostat as often.

If air ducts aren’t regularly cleaned and maintained, your HVAC system will circulate dirty air through your home, affecting the air you breathe. Also, trapped moisture can lead to mildew and mold growth, particularly in regions with high humidity.

Your HVAC manufacturer will give you instructions on how often you should service your system. Have your unit professionally serviced at least once a year when in doubt.

Heat pump systems are different because they provide heating and cooling solutions for your home. In this case, you should have it serviced at least twice a year.
