When was the last time you thought about what’s inside your HVAC ducts? Dust, allergens, pet dander, and other debris can build up over time, impacting your indoor air quality—and your system’s efficiency.
If you’re wondering whether duct cleaning is worth it, how often it should be done, and what it costs, this post will clear things up.
Why Clean Your HVAC Ducts?
Duct cleaning helps remove built-up dust, mold, and allergens trapped in your ductwork. Cleaner ducts mean:
- Better indoor air quality, especially for allergy sufferers
- Improved airflow, so your system doesn’t have to work as hard
- Potential energy savings
- Reduced odors caused by dust and mold
How Often Should You Clean Your Ducts?
The general recommendation is every 3 to 5 years for most homes. But certain situations might mean more frequent cleaning, such as:
- Pets that shed heavily
- Recent home renovations or construction
- Occupants with allergies or respiratory conditions
- Evidence of mold or pests in ductwork
- Excessive dust buildup
What Does Duct Cleaning Cost?
Costs vary based on home size, duct length, and complexity, but here’s a general idea:
- Average range: $300 to $600
- Smaller homes or single systems: Can be closer to $200-$300
- Large or complex systems: May go above $700
Remember, this is an investment in your home’s air quality and HVAC performance.
