Air Duct Cleaning: Answers to 5 Questions You May Have

Air duct cleaning is an essential home maintenance task that will improve your indoor air quality and help your HVAC system run more efficiently. Perhaps you are skeptical about the necessity of air duct cleaning in your home, or you don’t even know how it works. Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning will help answer some questions that may come to your mind concerning this service. Here are answers to five common questions that homeowners ask about air duct cleaning.

1. What Exactly is Air Duct Cleaning?

Air duct cleaning physically removes the contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals, that are recirculated through your HVAC system about 5-7 times daily. We use the source removal method of cleaning, meaning we have a powerful vacuum with a HEPA filter that places the system under negative pressure. We then insert devices to dislodge any debris, removing it from your air ducts and home.

2. How Often Should Air Ducts Be Cleaned?

We recommend that your air ducts be cleaned about every 4-6 years, depending on your situation. You may need them cleaned more often if you share your home with furry pets, have recently undergone a renovation, or have someone in your household who suffers from allergies or asthma. 

3. What Are Some Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning?

Cleaning your air ducts has several benefits. It removes dust and improves indoor air quality, where concentrations of some pollutants are 2-5 times higher than outdoor concentrations. Duct cleaning also prevents mold from sticking to your ducts and increases your HVAC system's efficiency. 

4. How Do I Know if My Ducts Need Cleaned?

Suppose a member of your household has a respiratory condition or allergies that are inexplicably worsening inside your home; your air ducts probably need to be cleaned. Or, if you are faced with increased energy bills, reduced airflow in your home, or a musty odor coming from your HVAC system, your air ducts likely need attention.
