While there’s no scientific evidence that correlates a clean HVAC system with significant health benefits, it only makes sense that clean air ducts are safer than dirty ones.

Advanced A/C Contracting in Honolulu, HI, advises homeowners to get their air ducts cleaned every three to five years, per advice from the National Air Duct Cleaners Association.

However, if you have experienced any of these three situations, the HVAC experts recommend having your air ducts cleaned sooner.

Mold

If mold is growing on the hard surfaces of your ducts, such as sheet metal, or anywhere else on your HVAC system, you should get your ducts cleaned to avoid potential health hazards. If the insulation in your heat or cooling system is wet or moldy, however, this will need to be replaced, as it cannot effectively be cleaned.

Dust and debris commonly hold allergens that can be released into the home. If you see a significant amount of debris around your air ducts, it’s recommended to bring in an HVAC expert to have them properly cleaned.

Pests

Have you recently had issues with vermin such as rodents or insects in your home? These pests often take up residence within your HVAC system—likely not the air you would like to breathe in. Once the situation is under control, consider having your air ducts cleaned to get rid of any droppings or similar debris.

Having your air ducts cleaned can improve the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system.
