Q: How often should ductwork be cleaned?

• <div><p>Ductwork should be thoroughly cleaned at least every <b>three to five years</b>. An air duct cleaning specialist will need to clean and inspect the ductwork for any leaks or other damage. You can also help keep the air ducts clean by changing out air filters every 30 to 90 days.</p></div>

Q: Can I block the return air vents on the floor or ceiling?

• <div><p>Blocking or closing return air vents on the floor or ceiling will not save money on energy bills and could place additional stress on the HVAC system. Installers strategically place return vents to ensure the best flow of air throughout the entire system, so keeping them open and free from blockages is important. Figure out <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-ceiling-air-vents.htm">how to open ceiling air vents</a> and return vents. Check them occasionally to ensure air can freely flow into them for maximum performance.</p></div>

Q: Will redirecting air vents affect my HVAC system’s performance?

• <div><p>Redirecting air vents will have a positive impact on your HVAC system&rsquo;s performance. It will help evenly distribute air toward the center of the room and stop those pesky hot or cold spots. This is a much better solution than closing the vent, which can cause your HVAC system to work harder to reach the ideal temperature. </p></div>

Q: Should supply air be equal to return air?

• <div><p>Yes. Your air supply should be balanced. The return and supply ducts need to maintain that balance, and this only occurs because an equal amount of air should be entering and leaving your HVAC system. Changes in pressure, extreme weather, and blocking vents with furniture or your stuff can make the air supply unbalanced and cause your home to get too cold or hot.</p></div>
