The Importance of Keeping Your Air Ducts Clean
A key part of any ventilation system are the air ducts, and when they get dirty, who knows what kind of dirt we’re breathing in. That’s why it’s crucial to keep them clean year-round. A large part of keeping your air ducts clean is monitoring your filter. This means knowing when it gets dirty and how long it’s been since you last changed it.
When should I change the filter?
1. Rule of thumb is to change the filter every three months to prevent dust from accumulating
2. Do you have pets at home? Change the filter more often – about every two months
3. Whenever it’s dirty, it needs to be cleaned, no questions asked. If you take it out and find that your white filter is now black, dusty, and full of debris, it’s time for a new one
What can a dirty filter do?
1. A dirty filter can slow the airflow in your home
2. Debris can build up in your air ducts and blow into your home
3. Your system works harder to pump out more air, which wastes energy
4. Ultimately, a dirty filter that is unchanged can lead to system failure
What are the major signs my air ducts needs to cleaned?
1. Look for large buildups of dust and pet hair
2. Inspect for mold, as this can be hazardous to your health
3. Check for signs of pest and rodent infestations
