How often should I have the air ducts cleaned in my home?

There are common warning signs you should know to look for, even if your HVAC System is still blowing air. If you notice any of the following, a problem may be present & it’s time to call the professionals at Mainstream for air duct cleaning services:

Unexplained Sneezing and Congestion

Are you having breathing issues at home? Coughing? Sneezing? Congestion that doesn’t go away if you take allergy medication. As debris, mold, and dust accumulate in your ductwork, you breathe that in whenever you run the heat or AC. This could be causing issues that mimic traditional allergies. If you notice unexplained cold-like symptoms, it may be time to get your ducts cleaned by Mainstream.

Increased Energy Bills

If you notice a change in how your air is running, or your HVAC systems are having to stay on over extended periods of time, you may need to have your air ducts cleaned.

Unsure? One of the first places you’ll notice you need air duct cleaning is on your energy bill. When air duct cleaning doesn’t take place regularly, your HVAC systems will work less efficiently & leave a dramatic increase on your monthly energy bill.

It’s Been Years Since Your Last Duct Cleaning

You should get your ducts cleaned every three to five years. Most experts – including the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) – recommend this time frame depending on how often you use your HVAC system throughout the year, if you have pets, or if you’re prone to allergies and colds.
