Your duct system is the respiratory tract of the house: every hour the blower runs, it inhales from the return side, pushes air across the equipment, and exhales through the supplies, and everything that air carries leaves a little of itself behind. In most Allentown, PA homes that means dust and pet dander in a thin film; in some it means drywall dust from the last renovation, debris from the original construction still sitting in the trunks, the leavings of past pests, or a musty smell that arrives every time the system starts. Buildup does its damage twice: it degrades the air your family breathes, and it narrows airways and loads the blower, making the whole system work harder to move less air.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Warning Signs for Air Duct Cleaning
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- A home you just bought with an unknown or unkempt service history
- Renovation or drywall work done with the ducts uncovered
- Air that smells damp or musty whenever the blower runs
- Filters turning gray or black well before their scheduled change
- Allergy or dust complaints that get worse indoors, not better
- Signs of rodents or insects in or around the duct runs
- Registers and nearby ceilings growing dark halos of blown dust
- Dust you can see blowing out of the vents at startup
