Cleaning and Maintaining Air Ducts Air ducts play a crucial role in the heating and cooling systems of both residential and commercial properties. Often referred to as the "lungs" of a building, air ducts intake and distribute air throughout the space. They are connected to the HVAC system and ensure that conditioned air reaches every corner of the property. Importance of Air Duct Cleaning Given that air ducts continuously circulate air, they also collect dust, debris, and other particles from the environment. Over time, these contaminants can build up within the ducts, potentially affecting indoor air quality. It is not uncommon for air ducts to accumulate a significant amount of dirt and debris, which can be composed of various substances such as mold, mildew, VOCs, pet hair, and more. Frequency of Air Duct Cleaning As dust and debris accumulate in air ducts, the air passing through them can pick up these particles and distribute them throughout the property. Factors such as human activities, pets, cooking, renovations, and smoking can contribute to the buildup of contaminants in the duct system. To ensure clean and healthy indoor air quality, it is recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association to have air ducts cleaned every 3-5 years.
