Although you probably do not think about the hidden network of ductwork in your house, since it is usually invisible behind thick walls, ceilings, and floors, this component of your heating and cooling system has a powerful purpose. Your ducts are essential in transporting, delivering, and removing heated or cooled air in and out of each room in your house. If any part of the system is malfunctioning or has come loose, or perhaps is just clogged with dirt and debris, your HVAC system will not work well.

The amount of use that your ducts undergo means that these essential components experience a lot more wear and tear.

When should I call for air duct help?
- Hot or Cold Spots: If you have rooms that are always hotter or colder than the rest of the house, you might have air leaks in the ductwork. Repairing them makes it easier to ensure that the conditioned air reaches every room in the right amount.
- Dirty Vents and Registers: Your HVAC system is designed to remove most dust and dirt before it passes through your system. If the filter gets too clogged, you may notice dust accumulating around the vents and registers. You could see it settling in rooms, as well.
- Low Air Flow: Poor air flow coming through the vents could be a sign of a problem with your ductwork. Ductwork that is leaky, clogged or crushed won’t pass air fully, which translates into minimal air movement by the time it reaches the room.
- Signs of Damage: Like any other piece of equipment, your ductwork can wear out over time. If it’s tangled or crushed, you won’t get effective air flow. You might hear strange noises. Old ductwork is more likely to have gaps or holes, which can decrease your efficiency.
- Mold, Mildew or Pests: Since you don’t spend much time looking in your ductwork, you may end up with problems inside it. Mold or mildew grow better in dark, warm places. Pests also like to build nests in the same type of place, and your ductwork is a prime location.
Air Duct Cleaning
You may be wondering if you need to arrange to have your ducts cleaned regularly. In fact, when homeowners in the Bay Area are asked how often they have their ductwork cleared out, the statistics are quite shocking – many residents have never scheduled duct cleaning in the entirety of their time living there. When your ducts are not regularly cleared of debris and dust, your family’s health is at stake, since these hazardous particles are blown directly from the ductwork into your lungs. Some of those hazardous materials include:
- Dust
- Mold spores
- Mildew
- Bacteria and viruses
- Spray droplets from cleaning products
- Dander and dead skin cells
- Pollen
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
