HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY AIR DUCTS NEED TO BE CLEANED?

The EPA recommends that air ducts be cleaned every 5 to 7 years or on an as needed basis.This does not mean that if you haven’t cleaned your air ducts in 7 years that they definitely need attention. They could 10 years old and not need cleaning. Reputable Air Duct Cleaners will use a camera to visibly determine whether or not the ducts are dirty. They also use a camera to show the customer that the contaminating debris has been removed. But sans a camera, what signs can a homeowner observe to indicate that their ducts are dirty?

Here are a few things to consider and observe:

  1. Dark, Black trails coming out of the supply registers.
  2. Dark, Black lines along the edge of the carpet & under door jams (more noticeable on white carpeting).
  3. Rooms have little or no air flow coming out of the supply vents.
  4. Stale, Musty odors when the furnace comes on.
  5. Sweeping the floors & dusting the furniture needs to be done more frequently.
  6. After or during sleep, occupants experience headaches, nasal congestion, itchy / watery eyes, scratchy throat, or other sinus conditions.
  7. Occupants constantly getting sick or experiencing severe allergic reactions and with greater frequency.
  8. When changing the furnace filter, one sees an abnormal amount of dust & debris.
  9. Remove a vent cover from the floor or the wall and look for blockages & wipe vent with white cloth. Is the cloth black and filled with debris?
  10. You’ve had major construction / renovations done in your home.

It is recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) that air ducts, both supply & return, be inspected every 1 to 2 years, and the unit itself be serviced every year.

Chances are that if you live in a old home, over 25 years or more, and your ductwork has never been cleaned, your system could stand a cleaning.
