When do you know it’s time to clean your air ducts?
The air duct system, though not entirely visible to the naked eye, still needs maintenance and cleanings every now and then. But, since it’s not easily accessible, how do you know when it’s time for a clean? Read the 4 signs below to find out!
1. Debris and dust from the registers
Excess dust and debris may start being released into the air within the house and prompt health problems, as more than 40 pounds of it may be accumulated in just one year. If you notice any signs of excess dusting around the areas of ventilation, it’s time to get your air ducts cleaned.
2. Reduced efficiency
If the air flow has been noticeably slower than usual – it’s due to the excess dust inside the air ducts. Not only will this increase your bills, but it also contaminates the air you breathe.
3. Mold
If you notice mold or mildew forming around ventilation areas, it’s definitely time for an urgent clean. The more you put it off – the more it will spread and may permanently harm the air duct system.
