Your home needs a professional air duct cleaning every one to five years to maintain good air quality in your home and maximum efficiency of airflow through your ducts. But within that time frame, how do you decide how often to have your ducts cleaned? Consider these factors that affect air quality. If more than one of these factors is present, consider having your ducts cleaned more frequently.

3 Reasons to Have Air Duct Cleaning More Frequently

1. Many Household Residents

More people living in a home means more microscopic particles of skin, dirt, and debris that can clog your ducts and your HVAC system. For large families, more frequent cleaning is recommended, especially if someone living in the home has allergies or asthma.

2. Smokers in the Home

Cigarette smoke can linger in the air in your home for years after a smoker moves out. If you’ve recently moved into a house where a smoker used to live, air duct cleaning will give you a fresh start in your new home. If you live with a smoker, have your ducts cleaned every few years to help keep your HVAC system running at its most efficient and your air as clean as possible.

3. Pets in the Home

Pet fur doesn’t just cling to the sofa and your clothes. It also gets sucked into your air ducts and circulated throughout your home or caught in your air filters. Dust from cat litter can also contribute to poor air quality in the home. Be sure to change your HVAC air filters more frequently if you have pets, and have your ducts inspected for clogs occasionally.
