Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are no studies that definitively show duct cleaning prevents health problems or reduces dust levels in homes. However, cleaning can have noticeable benefits. It can improve indoor air quality by removing dust, allergens, and other contaminants, which may help people with allergies or respiratory issues. It can also reduce unpleasant odors, help identify mold growth, and enhance the efficiency and lifespan of your HVAC system by ensuring proper airflow. This improved airflow can reduce strain on the system, potentially lowering energy consumption and utility bills. Cleaning is particularly beneficial if ducts are filthy after a major renovation or a pest problem.

If you don't clean your AC evaporator coils, dirt and debris will build up, which impairs the system's ability to transfer heat. This forces the unit to work harder, leading to inefficient performance, higher energy bills, and frequent breakdowns. Over time, neglected coils can corrode, which may cause refrigerant leaks, or develop mold, ice buildup, and a clogged condensate drain, resulting in poor air quality and an uncomfortable home.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, or ASHRAE, sets the standard guidelines for air changes per hour in homes and businesses. The International Residential Code, or IRC, also sets ACH requirements for residences and bases those requirements off of ASHRAE standards plus climate specifics related to your location.

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.

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.
