Why is Residential Air-Duct Cleaning Important?

Air ducts are the “lungs” of your home, circulating air throughout each room. Over time, these air ducts can become clogged with dust, debris, and other contaminants, compromising the quality of the air you breathe. This is particularly concerning for those with allergies or respiratory conditions who may be more sensitive to airborne pollutants. 

Additionally, dirty air ducts can lead to reduced efficiency and higher energy bills as your HVAC system works harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Regularly cleaning your residential air ducts not only improves indoor air quality but also helps keep your home running efficiently.

Reasons You Might Need Air Duct Cleaning:

• Suffer from asthma and allergies?
• Have pets in your home?
• Moving into a new home?
• Done any remodeling or construction?
• Experienced fire, smoke, water, or mold damage?
• Have excess dust or odors?
• Last cleaned ducts 2-3 years ago?

According to NADCA, dust, dander, and debris build up in your duct system and re-circulate throughout your home about 5 to 7 times per day. This can lower indoor air quality and may cause health issues. These contaminants can also lead to a less efficient heating and cooling system, causing your HVAC system to work harder to reach your desired temperature and shortening its lifespan.

Signs Your Home’s Air Ducts Need Cleaning

If you’re unsure whether your air ducts need cleaning, look for these signs:

• Visible mold growth in or around the vents
• Strong musty odors from the vents
• Excessive amounts of dust and debris near the vents
• Allergy symptoms worsen indoors
• If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an air duct cleaning with Air Doctor.

The Air Doctor Standards

 Air Doctor adheres to NADCA standard specification guide and uses the source removal method. We use a portable HEPA filtered air duct vacuum system (and/or gas-powered commercial air duct vacuums) to clean all supply ducts, return air ducts, and plenums. This system is brought into each room and used in conjunction with a compressed air whip (and/or rotating power brushes). The air whip agitates the duct while the HEPA filtered air duct vacuum system creates a negative vacuum at 3500 cfm (up to 10,000 cfm with our gas-powered commercial air duct vacuums). Once each supply air duct is cleaned, the return air system is cleaned in the same fashion. Finally, we clean the furnace unit.
