You might spend your days cleaning bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, and every other part of your house, but what about your HVAC system? Should HVAC ducts be cleaned? The short answer is yes!
Your ducts move air from your HVAC system to the rest of your house. Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate in them, and if you don’t clean them, your indoor air quality could suffer. Chud Cooling & Heating explains why cleaning your property’s air ducts should be an essential home maintenance task and how to go about it.
How Does Your Home Benefit From Clean Air Ducts?
Why do you need to clean air ducts? Getting rid of the dust, dirt, and debris that quickly make your air ducts home can provide your entire house with several benefits. Here are the top air duct cleaning pros to consider.
Better Indoor Air Quality
No matter how diligent you are about cleanliness, dirt, dander, and other pollutants will still find their way around your house. Since your heating and cooling unit takes in air through the vents to redistribute throughout your home via the ducts, these unwanted contaminants build up quickly and then circulate. So, the most important reason to clean your air ducts is to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
Why should HVAC ducts be cleaned if you have indoor air quality concerns? Dirty ducts won’t necessarily create unhealthy or unbreathable air, but they can aggravate symptoms for people with allergies or other respiratory issues. Sparkling-clean air ducts benefit everyone.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
The more energy-efficient your HVAC system is, the less energy it wastes to keep your living spaces comfortable. You may not think much about your HVAC system’s efficiency, but the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the average home’s HVAC system wastes up to 40% of the energy it draws!
Dirty air ducts force your HVAC system to work harder to cool or heat your home, drawing more energy. Decontaminating these ducts puts less strain on your system, boosting its efficiency and leaving you with a more comfortable home (and even lower utility bills!).
Top Signs That Your Air Ducts Need Professional Cleaning
Proper HVAC system care includes professional air duct cleaning, so when should you schedule this service? Here are some common signs that it’s time for a duct cleaning:
- Your energy bills are spiking for no apparent reason.
- Mold is growing in your air ducts or around your HVAC system.
- Dust and dirt swamp your vents.
- You can’t remember the last time someone cleaned your property’s ductwork.

“I had a great experience with Chud. Lewis and Sebastian did a fantastic job. They were communicative and on time, explained everything that they would be doing to clean my HVAC ductwork, answered all of my questions, were honest about not being able to properly clean my dryer vent, and cleaned up after they were done. They also went above and beyond, even cleaning dust from each slat of the return vent. Highly recommend.”
