The most telling signs that the ducts in your home are dirty and require duct & vent cleaning services include:

• Your HVAC system not working properly (particularly in one part of your home)
• The presence or smell of mold
• Infestations of vermin
• Fatigue, flu-like symptoms, headaches and/or sore eyes while indoors
• Excessive dust on furniture
• Dirty or discolored HVAC registers

Aside from these, you may also consider duct & vent cleaning services in response to renovation, new construction, smoking (even from previous residents), pets, new carpet, proximity to busy farms or roadways, extreme pollen in the air, or recent extermination.

In addition to health issues, dirty ducts can affect the efficiency of your cooling and heating system because it has to work harder. This means that it uses more energy, and consequently, your utility bills will be more expensive.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), about 50 percent of illnesses are either caused or aggravated by poor indoor air quality, which can be fixed with duct & vent cleaning services. More than 50 million Americans also suffer with allergies, while 12 million have asthma. The level of some hazardous indoor air pollutants has found to be 70 times higher than those in outdoor air.*
