6 Main Factors to Have Your Ducts Clean
Admin • March 20, 2014
Every home and business is different. Many factors influence the hygiene levels of your HVAC duct system including the type and frequency and proper maintenance of filter maintenance, A/C component maintenance frequency (evaporator coils, blower motors, pan treatments, etc), duct leakage, humidity levels and structure location, to name a few.
How often should they be cleaned?
The frequency of cleaning depends on many factors within the building. These 6 main factors are among a few to consider:
1- Renovations/Remodeling
2- Flood or water contamination
3- Allergies
4- Pets
5- Smoking
6- Moving into a new home
For best preventive measures, minimally, your A/C system should be inspected yearly and ductwork inspected every 2 years.

Until the development of the Aeroseal duct sealing technology, there was no efficient or notable effective method of sealing remote leaks in HVAC ducts. In the past, we have crawled attics feeling and looking for leakage, but only if it was accessible. Aeroseal changed all that! We can now seal ductwork from the inside-out! With documentable results! Signs of duct leakage can include particularly hot or cold rooms, dark lines on the edges of carpets, temperature changes between floors, uncomfortable rooms due to different humidity levels, dirt streaks from supply diffusers or severe allergies when inside. Residential duct leakage is prevalent and a significant source of HVAC energy waste across the country. Aeroseal can help lower energy bills (on average, a homeowner can save between $300-$1000 or 5% to 30%) Aeroseal can reduce temperature variations between rooms and floors, reduce humidity in rooms and fix hot or cold rooms issues. Aeroseal can help improve indoor air quality by reducing pollutants, allergens and dust entering the air stream from wall cavities or attics.
