Are you wondering, “Do I need to have my air ducts cleaned?”
You’re not alone! In fact, we get this question a lot. After all, the air you breathe in your home or business flows through the ducts. It makes sense to want to make sure they are clean, but this is often overlooked.
What may surprise you is that an air duct cleaning may not be necessary. In fact, you can achieve long-lasting results through an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) system.
However, if you are experiencing any of the signs listed below, then you may want to talk to your HVAC technician about an air duct cleaning.
4 Signs You Need an Air Duct Cleaning
Here are 4 signs that indicate you should schedule an air duct cleaning. During the assessment, your technician may suggest other options.

1. Unpleasant Odors
No one likes unpleasant odors in their home or business. Aside from the smell, the source may cause health complications.
If you’re smelling something funky, then it’s probably time to schedule your annual HVAC system tune-up and air duct inspection. During the appointment, your technician will inspect sections of your air ducts to assess the situation.
2. Just Moved into a New Home
Sometimes, you just want to start fresh! Moving into a new home is the perfect time to ensure everything is in good working order.
New homes likely have construction dust residing somewhere in the air ducts. And an older home could very well have dust, dander, mold, and other pollutants floating around.
Talk to your HVAC technician about the best path forward. Depending on what is inside the ducts, they may suggest an air duct cleaning, an IAQ system, or both.
3. Serious Allergies to Dust, Dander & Other Irritants
For people with compromised immune systems or serious sensitivities to dust, dander, and other irritants, ensuring good air quality should be a priority.
If changing your air filters regularly and running a HEPA air filter doesn’t seem to be cutting back on your allergies, then schedule an HVAC system tune-up. Make sure to discuss your concerns with your technician. They can help you come up with a game plan that’s good for your home, health, and budget.
4. You Want Peace Of Mind
Not knowing what’s in your air ducts can be distracting and induce anxiety. If an air duct cleaning will give you peace of mind, then it’s a good time to schedule a visit from an HVAC technician. They will evaluate your system – including your air ducts – and advise you on the best next step.
