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: Will my house be dusty after duct cleaning?

• <div><p>If a professional does ductwork cleaning correctly, your home should not be dusty. However, inexperienced cleaners, including DIYers, may dislodge debris without properly containing it. Ensure any pro you hire is certified and has the correct equipment to capture debris instead of just stirring it up. </p></div>

Q: Why does my whole house smell like cat pee?

• <div><p>Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don&rsquo;t have a cat or don&rsquo;t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms. </p></div>

Q: Why do my vents keep getting moldy?

• <div><p>Several factors contribute to the persistent growth of mold in vents, with excess moisture being the most common culprit. Consistent mold formation in vents indicates an ongoing moisture problem within the HVAC system or its surroundings, likely caused by condensation on cool surfaces in areas with high humidity. Moisture accumulation can also result from leaks in ductwork, inadequate ventilation, or insufficient insulation, creating an environment favorable for mold growth. Regular inspections, addressing potential sources of moisture, maintaining proper ventilation, and routine HVAC maintenance can help prevent the recurrence of mold in vents. If the issue persists, seek professional assistance to identify and rectify the underlying problems.</p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to clean air ducts?

• <div><p>According to the EPA, it&rsquo;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.</p></div>
