Duct Cleaning

Has your heating and cooling system gone a long time without a proper inspection from a professional? The lowered indoor air quality due to all the dust in your ducts might already mean that you need your system cleaned. Thankfully, whenever you need expert duct cleaning, HomeX Plumbing and Rooter is ready!

If you have dusty ductwork, odds are you notice it during the most pollinated season of the year – springtime. Duct cleaning is a necessary process that can leave your house feeling cleaner and its residents breathing easier.

We’re national air duct cleaners in the United States, which means that we’re well-qualified to help your family home stay healthy while offering cost savings.

Signs You Need Duct Cleaning

Each year, you’ll want to ensure that you’re giving your home comfort system a clean slate with a duct cleaning service. If you have doubts about whether it’s time, consider some of the following signs you might notice if your ductwork is too dirty:

Dusty Air

If you notice there’s a bit of smog indoors, get your ductwork checked. Excessive dust leads to allergies acting up more than usual, more sneezing, coughing, and general illness. If you notice your spring allergies hitting harder than usual, a good duct maintenance session could sort out the problem.

Odd Smells

One of the telltale symptoms of ductwork in desperate need of cleaning is the odor of mold. If you don’t get professional cleaning for your property’s ductwork every year or so, you may begin to smell mildew every time you turn on your HVAC system. Besides the discomfort of lingering odors indoors, running your air conditioner with a mold problem is unhealthy for everyone who breathes it in.

Dirt-layered Grills

If your unit’s grills look dusty, just imagine what your ductwork looks like on the inside! Once you notice the outer layer of dirt, your HVAC system needs urgent attention. Dust and lint can be a danger for a furnace as it is a flammable substance.

Higher Energy Bills

If your HVAC system’s ducts are dirty enough, they will soon impact how your machine functions and affect your space’s comfort levels. If you notice that your temperature control isn’t as easy as it used to be despite your thermostat being correctly set, you may have a simple yet potent dust problem. Higher energy bills each month tell the story of a less efficient system, and professional cleaning is often a straightforward solution.

Duct Cleaning FAQs

While our technicians can answer all your questions, the following questions and answers about duct cleaning regularly come up in our line of work:

How Frequently Should You Clean Your Ducts?

Typically, you should let a professional clean your ducts every three to five years. Experts recommend cleaning air filters every few months, but since the ductwork is more extensive, longer bouts between cleanings are common.

Does Duct Cleaning Cause a Mess in the House?

Yes, duct cleaning might cause a mess in the house as it blows some excess dust out of the vents. However, leaving it in the ductwork pollutes the air you breathe. Plus, reputable professionals do a good job of curbing the mess with their proven techniques.

What Time of the Year Is Best for Duct Cleaning?

Spring is the time of the year that’s best for duct cleaning, but fall is also a possibility. In these seasons, you’re likely using your air conditioning or heating system less, if at all. It is a great opportunity for a professional deep cleaning inside your property’s ventilation system.

Does Cleaning Your Air Ducts Make Your House Smell Better?

Yes, cleaning your home’s air ducts may make your house smell better in the long run. Without routine duct cleaning, the smell of mold and mildew or decaying critters might greet you as you turn on the HVAC.
