4 Situations that Require More Frequent Air Duct Cleaning

Air duct cleaning is essential for removing contaminants and maintaining the air quality inside your home. One of the many benefits of this service is that it will help keep your home free of dust and debris. At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, we recommend that homeowners schedule this service every 4-6 years; however, some circumstances necessitate more frequent air duct cleaning. In this article, we’ll review four situations where it would be best to schedule air duct cleaning for your home more often.

1. The Presence of Furry Pets

If you have furry pets in your household, you should probably get your air ducts cleaned more frequently. Their hair, dander, and other allergens can accumulate inside your air ducts and recirculate throughout your home, worsening allergies and respiratory conditions.

2. Recent Home Renovation

Home renovations and construction projects can generate a significant amount of dust and debris that will end up in your air ducts. If you recently finished a project inside your home, schedule air duct cleaning to restore your indoor air quality.

3. Household Member with Allergies

If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, you likely know that maintaining your indoor air quality will help mitigate the associated symptoms. Less time between air duct cleaning would be beneficial in your home.

4. Newly Purchased Home

If you have recently purchased a home, you'll want to schedule air duct cleaning once you take ownership and potentially at regular intervals after that. The previous owners may have lived with pets or renovated their homes before the sale, causing the accumulation of contaminants in the ductwork.
