The National Association of Air Duct Cleaners and the EPA both recommend hiring a professional to clean your ducts every three to five years. This is because it is difficult to properly reach and inspect the ducts, which are built into the walls. Cleaning the air ducts every 3 to 5 years can help prevent the accumulation of dirt, dust, and other debris that could affect indoor air quality. However, if you have pets, smokers, or people with respiratory problems in your home, it is recommended to clean the air ducts more often, preferably once every two years.
In addition to cleaning, repairing or replacing air ducts can help you save on energy costs, improve the lifespan of your air conditioning system, and reduce noise pollution. If your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system requires more than just duct cleaning and needs to be repaired or replaced, contact Direct Energy Home Services or Superior Mechanical for commercial and residential HVAC services. A trained HVAC technician will determine if a complete duct repair or replacement would benefit you most and make suggestions from an expert. Air ducts are complex systems that can be difficult to repair without the right equipment and tools.
That's why it's important to periodically check the condition of the air ducts to see if they need a professional air duct cleaning service. If you want to ensure that clean air is circulating in your home, contact the experts at Novak Heating and Cooling for a whole-house air duct cleaning service. If you find a service that offers you to clean the ducts at very low prices, they probably only clean the main ducts, so you may be charged an additional fee for the air treatment system and other heating and air conditioning components.
