Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Kitchen exhaust fans are regularly exposed to grease. To remove grease from a range hood, make a paste from baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the greasy areas and let it sit for 30 minutes before wiping it off with a cloth or sponge. If that doesn’t work, use a degreaser soap or cleaning product.

Higher energy bills, ductwork over a decade old, poor airflow, and noisy ducts are a few common signs of bad ductwork. A moldy smell or musty odor, visual damage, increased allergies, and poor temperature control are other signs.

No, not all houses have ducts. It would be safe to say, however, that most modern houses do. The reason is that older houses had boilers in the basement that heated from the bottom up and often vents weren’t built into the house. Another reason is that older homes don’t have air conditioning (because it didn’t exist) and use radiators for heating. Since radiators don’t require ductwork, it wasn’t built.

You should remove and clean your HRV filters about once a month, as debris will build up quickly, especially on the fresh air side of the ductwork. Even with routine cleaning, you should plan to replace the filters at least once a year or more often if you find that they’re getting dirty quickly during operation.

Furnace maintenance is crucial to keeping your home warm in the colder months. In addition, it's always best to read your furnace manual for additional information on necessary maintenance to extend its lifespan. Some ways to maintain your furnace include:

Check and change air filters regularly
Inspect the exhaust pipe
Ensure the furnace is well-ventilated
Reduce your home's heating needs
Open all vents
Inspect your furnace for unusual sounds or smells
Clean vents and ductwork
