Duct cleaning services are something you may not have thought of before, as duct cleaning isn’t needed very frequently. However it’s a vital service that can prevent serious damage to your ductwork. So to prevent any problems, these are some signs to be aware of when it’s time for duct cleaning services:

• Difficulty Breathing or Allergy Flare-ups. Whenever someone in your home has this problem suddenly, it could be because of something that’s infested your air ducts. It could be a lot of dust, a buildup of mold, or vermin. Without proper air flow, even those without respiratory problems or allergies can feel congested and uncomfortable overall.
• You Can See Dust in Your Vents. Some dust in your air ducts is natural. However, if there is a coat of it inside your vents, then it could be a sign you need duct cleaning services. Not only can dust cause allergies to flare up, but it can also damage your AC system.
• There’s Visible Mold Buildup. It isn’t easy to identify mold in your ducts on your own, but you should generally look for any water or moisture that’s been caught in your vents. Duct cleaning services can also check for this.
• It’s Been More Than Two Years Since Your Last Duct Cleaning. It’s just a general rule of thumb, but your air ducts should be cleaned every 2 to 7 years. The trick is that waiting a long time can aggravate some of the factors we just mentioned. Don’t wait too long!
