Air duct cleaning is needed at least twice per year because, in addition to the regular buildup of dirt and debris, there are several other factors that affect how dirty they might become, for example:

• Pets
• Cigarettes
• Home Renovation

If you have pets, dander builds up in the air ducts of your home, no matter how often or thoroughly you might vacuum. This can lead to more severe allergies to any visitors or family members who are allergic to pets. If anyone in your home suffers from asthma, regular air duct cleaning can mitigate the effects of the allergens. Smoking cigarettes indoors can lead to smoke damage on the walls, and many of the carcinogens in the cigarettes become trapped in the ducts. Duct cleaning helps remove these dangerous chemicals and prevents prolonged second-hand exposure. Finally, if you have performed any home renovation project within the last year, all of that sawdust and debris inevitably found its way into your air vents. Duct cleaning will prevent all of the dust from finding its way back into your home. Check out our page on “Why Clean Air Ducts?” for more information!
