As the seasons change, so do your home’s heating and cooling needs. You may be tempted to get yours serviced before cold weather hits or hot weather starts, but cleaning your air ducts isn’t something you should schedule at least on an annual basis.

The frequency at which you schedule a vent duct cleaning service depends on several factors:

Size of the Home

Larger homes require more energy to be cooled and heated. So naturally, they trap more contaminants within their duct system. This results in a clogged air duct system and eventual overworking (and overspending) of your HVAC unit. These factors mean you should have your air ducts cleaned more often if you live in a larger home.

Number of Pets

If you have pets, their dander and fur will also be circulating through the air. This not only affects those with allergies but can also decrease the life expectancy of your HVAC unit. So if you have pets, it’s a good idea to have your air ducts cleaned every year.

Family Size

The more people in a household, the more contaminants will build up in the HVAC system over time. So if you have a large family, it’s worth having them cleaned at least twice a year.

Occupant Age

Children, people with pre-existing conditions, and the elderly are more susceptible to respiratory problems when exposed to contaminants in the air. If someone in your household falls into one of these categories, it’s a good idea to schedule vent duct cleaning more often than once a year.

Build-Up of Dust and Debris

An air duct cleaning service depends on how much dust and debris is allowed to build up inside them. Having one pet and a large family, this will probably be more often than if you live alone. But even if you don’t have any of those factors, it’s still a good idea to get them cleaned after renovations, moving furniture, or retail-sized cleansers being used inside the home.

To determine how often you should have your air ducts cleaned is to consult with one of our professionals. They can look at your home and its individual needs to make a recommendation that’s right for you.
