Why is it important to clean my air ducts?
The EPA says if not properly installed, maintained, and operated, components of forced air systems may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen or other debris. When moisture is present, the potential for microbiological growth, mold, increases and spores from such growth may be released into the home's living space. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them.

Can air duct cleaning be detrimental?
The EPA claims that no evidence suggests that such cleaning would be detrimental, provided that it is done properly. One may consider having their air ducts cleaned simply because it seems logical that air ducts will get dirty over time, and should occasionally be cleaned.

When should I consider having my air ducts cleaned?
There are several "checks" one can undertake to determine whether air duct cleaning is needed:
* Presence of mold growth inside sheet metal ducts or on other components of the heating and cooling system. Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects)
* Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.
