Signs Your Air Duct Needs Cleaning

5 Signs of Dirty Air Ducts

• Increased allergy attacks: Unclean air ducts mean, there is hidden mold and dust inside them. So when you switch on your heater, the dust and mold from the air duct circulate throughout your home. This will deteriorate the air quality of your home and trigger allergies, sinus, asthma, or other respiratory issues.
• Signs of insect infestation: If you notice insect infestation in your ducts. It is a warning sign. Droppings from the insects can cause foul odors, moreover, if furs get stuck in the duct system, it can damage the electronic unit.

• High energy bills: Your energy bill is supposed to be relatively the same every year. Of course, there can be minor changes, but if you notice an unusual increase in the bill, despite the same usage, it means your HVAC units are not being efficient.

  Dirty air ducts decrease the efficiency of HVAC units because to maintain a comfortable temperature, both your furnace and air conditioner are forced to work harder.

• Visible mold growth: If you live in a humid climate, your heating and cooling system can develop condensation, leading to the growth of mold in your ductwork. You might be able to detect mold growth in or around the vents.
