The air ducts in your home are like your lungs.
- As you breathe, your lungs take in air from the surroundings and release oxygen into your bloodstream, where it circulates throughout your body.
Every room in your home or business is cooled and heated by air ducts. In order to maintain maximum efficiency, air ducts need occasional maintenance. Air ducts should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years. Your HVAC conditioner system should be cleaned when you find large amounts of dust, debris, or mold. Pet-owning households will benefit from more frequent cleanings, usually every two years. Animal hair, fur, and dander can cause significant reair conditionertions in people with animal allergies, and constant exposure may eventually lead to allergic reair conditionertions. If someone in your house has respiratory problems or allergies, you should have your air ducts cleaned. If your ductwork is moist or humid, mold spores can grow quickly. Ductwork should be cleaned immediately if mold is present in your vents. Mold growth in your vents might also cause an irritating smell when your HVAC conditioner system is working.
