Q: How often should I clean my air vents?

• <div><p>How often you clean your return air vent can vary based on several factors, including your indoor environment, the presence of allergies, and the accumulation of dust and debris. As a general guideline, you should inspect and clean your return air vent at least once a year. However, if you notice a significant buildup of dust, mold, or allergens, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain good indoor air quality and ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently.</p></div>

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 you spray bug spray in air vents?

• <div><p>You should not spray pesticides of any kind into your air vents. The spray won&rsquo;t reach far into the vent, minimizing its effectiveness in killing roaches, but more importantly, it&rsquo;s dangerous for people and pets to inhale these chemicals. Roach spray is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-organic-roach-killer-options-are-available.htm">natural roach repellent</a>, and it&rsquo;s not safe to spray into air vents.</p></div>

Q: How can you avoid overworking your HVAC system?

• <div><p>Turn your system off when you're toasty or when you're out to prevent unnecessary wear. Using the timer on your thermostat so that it switches off when it reaches a certain temperature or turns on just before you get back from work is best. An annual maintenance contract can be helpful to ensure your system receives these important services at regular intervals.</p></div>

Q: Are there any drawbacks to cleaning air ducts?

• <div><p>The primary drawback to cleaning air ducts is that you could damage the HVAC system or the ductwork. If you damage a seam or knock a section loose, you could allow heated or cooled air to escape, which costs you money through reduced system efficiency. It can also be a time-consuming process to clean air ducts if you have a large home or complicated ductwork layout.</p></div>
