How Often Should You Clean Your Air Ducts?

Did you know the typical family generates as much as 40 pounds of dust each year in their home? The dust and impurities are then pulled into the home’s HVAC system and recirculated five to seven times per day. At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, people often ask us how often air ducts should be cleaned. Let’s go over what we recommend for the frequency of air duct cleaning, and how this could benefit your home.

How Often Should My Air Ducts Be Cleaned?

Lowe’s recommends that you schedule air duct cleaning every 4 to 6 years, depending on your situation. According to the EPA, you should have your air ducts cleaned when they become visibly contaminated with significant mold growth, show evidence of a pest infestation, or become clogged with considerable amounts of dust or debris. There are certain circumstances that may warrant a cleaning sooner, such as sharing your home with furry pets or having recently completed a home renovation.

How Can Air Duct Cleaning Benefit My Home?

Among the several benefits of air duct cleaning is the fact it removes dust from your home, improving your indoor air quality as well as the efficiency of your HVAC system. It will prevent mold from sticking to your air ducts, and Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning even provides complimentary sanitization of air ducts, at your request, to further eliminate those microorganisms associated with mold growth. Those who suffer from seasonal allergies will experience relief from the typical symptoms of coughing and sneezing after the air ducts are cleaned. Basically, air duct cleaning will benefit everyone in your household!
