5 Signs Your Home’s Air Ducts Need to Be Cleaned

Has it been a while since you’ve had your home’s air ducts cleaned? Perhaps you’ve never had them cleaned and wonder if this is even a necessary task to check off your list. Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning helps educate homeowners about this part of their home that is easy to overlook or even disregard when you are working to remove contaminants. We’ll go over five signs that you need to get your home’s air ducts professionally cleaned.

1. Dust Accumulating Around Your Vents

It seems we are always battling dust in our homes. And with the average family generating up to 40 pounds of dust each year in their home, it can feel like a losing battle. If you see dust accumulating around your air vents and being blown out when your HVAC is running, you may be overdue for a cleaning. Let our experts come and remove the dust from your home.

2. Uneven Temperatures in Your Home 

If the temperature in your home changes significantly from room to room, that may be a sign that you need to have your air ducts cleaned. Uneven cooling or heating could be indicative of possible blockages within your ducts, restricting the airflow in different degrees to each of your rooms.

3. Symptoms of Mold Growth

If you get moisture in your HVAC system for any reason, this could create a breeding ground for mold within your air ducts. Your household members might notice symptoms that mimic allergy symptoms, such as headaches, difficulty breathing, fatigue, nausea, or dizziness. Whether you experience any unusual symptoms or see mold spots around your vents, it’s likely time for air duct cleaning and our complimentary sanitization.

4. Unexplained Increase in Utility Bills

Have you noticed your utility bills steadily climbing higher as you cool or heat your home, with no obvious explanation? If your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain your desired temperature due to clogged air ducts, it might consume more energy and increase your monthly bills.

5. Worsening Allergy Symptoms 

Perhaps you already suffer from seasonal or pet allergies, but they seem to worsen. If you notice an increase in your symptoms, especially when your HVAC is running, it might be due to contaminants from your air ducts circulating through the air. Or, we may find that pet hair present in your air ducts from previous homeowners is impacting your breathing.
