This spring, we’re channeling Marie Kondo’s decluttering magic, but there’s one hidden issue that may be affecting your home more than you realize—air quality.
Your air ducts recirculate air throughout your home, and if they’re not clean, you could be breathing in dust, allergens, and pollutants every day.
Here’s why air duct cleaning should be on your spring-cleaning checklist.
Poor air quality isn’t just an inconvenience—it can have serious health consequences.
✔️ Aggravates asthma and allergy symptoms
✔️ Linked to respiratory diseases, heart disease, and even cancer
✔️ Pollutants like asbestos, radon, VOCs, and carbon monoxide can be harmful over time
These pollutants accumulate in your air ducts, constantly recirculating through your home.
Poor air quality can be difficult to detect without testing, but some common warning signs include:
✔️ Headaches, nausea, dizziness
✔️ Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
✔️ Irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat
✔️ Dust buildup, mold, mildew, or pet dander in the home
If allergy or asthma symptoms worsen indoors, your air ducts may be the culprit.
The best way to improve air quality is to have your air ducts professionally cleaned.
✔️ Cleaning register covers – Removes residue like cooking oil, nicotine, and dust buildup.
✔️ Deep cleaning the air supply system – Addresses problematic areas in your HVAC system.
✔️ Brush vacuuming the air ducts – Clears out dust, pollen, mold, and other debris.
✔️ Optional sanitization – Helps with lingering scents and odors.
✔️ Every 3-5 years is the recommended timeframe for air duct cleaning.
✔️ More frequently if you or a loved one suffers from allergies or asthma.
✔️ Improving air quality also increases HVAC efficiency, helping you save money on energy bills.
