Your HVAC system works hard to keep your home comfortable—but over time, your air ducts can collect dust, debris, and contaminants that affect both efficiency and indoor air quality. Here are five common signs it’s time to schedule a professional duct cleaning:

1. Visible Dust and Debris Around Vents

If you notice dust buildup, black marks, or debris around your registers or vents, it’s a strong indicator that contaminants are being circulated through your system.

2. Unexplained Allergies or Respiratory Issues

Frequent sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, or allergy flare-ups inside your home may be caused by dust, pollen, mold spores, or other irritants being pushed through dirty ducts.

3. Musty or Unpleasant Odors

Strange smells coming from your vents when the system is running often mean mold, mildew, or dust has accumulated inside your ductwork.

4. Poor Airflow or Uneven Heating and Cooling

Clogged or dirty ducts restrict airflow, making it harder for your HVAC system to maintain comfort in all rooms. This also forces the system to work harder, driving up energy costs.

5. It’s Been More Than 3–5 Years Since Your Last Cleaning

Even without visible problems, ducts naturally collect dust, debris, and microbial growth over time. NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) recommends having ducts cleaned every 3-5 years
