The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests that air duct cleaning should be done every three to five years for optimal performance. However, the frequency of cleaning may vary depending on several factors:
Environment:
If you have allergies, pets, or recently renovated your home, you may need to clean your ducts more often. You should also consider cleaning more frequently if you live in a high-humidity climate.
Mold growth:
You should also consider cleaning your ducts if you notice visible mold growth inside hard surface ducts or on other components of your HVAC system.
Dirty ducts:
You can tell if your ducts need cleaning if there’s dust or debris around vents and supply registers, or if you have to clean your air vents more than once a month. You may also notice more dust on furniture near air vents, or if your HVAC system emits a dusty or musty smell when you turn it on.
