Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

While your forced heating system runs, it can pick up dirt, dust, hair, and other particles from inside your house. Changing your furnace filters regularly is key to preventing this debris from getting stuck in your ducts and swirling around your home. With some types of furnaces, there’s also the potential for carbon monoxide leaks. However, staying up-to-date with your HVAC inspections and installing carbon monoxide sensors can help mitigate this risk.

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.

Clean return air vents by using a microfiber cloth soaked in warm, soapy water (or a mild cleaning solution, like vinegar and water). Wipe the interior of the vents, paying close attention to the corners and crevices where dust likes to hide. Use a vacuum brush attachment or handheld model instead of a cloth if desired. Additionally, once or twice a year, remove your air vents and soak them in warm soapy water for 30 minutes before cleaning, drying, and putting them back on.

HVAC systems push air around, causing dust and dirt to accumulate. Some dirt around air vents is normal, but if you notice a significant accumulation in a short time, that indicates a problem with the system. Clean the vent covers, replace the air filters, and call in a pro for an inspection.

The time it takes to clean your AC unit depends on factors such as its size, the level of dirt buildup, and the thoroughness of the cleaning process. A basic cleaning can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, while a more detailed cleaning involving disassembly and deep cleaning may take a few hours. Make sure you allocate enough time to ensure all components are properly cleaned for optimal efficiency and longevity of your AC unit.
