If your air ducts are full of dust and debris, it can have a negative impact on air quality and even make it more difficult to heat and cool your home. Colburns Heating & Air Conditioning, serving southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania, can give your ventilation system new life. However, to ensure you know what to look for, here are a few signs you need duct cleaning.

How to Tell When You Need Air Duct Cleaning

1. Dust Buildup Appears on Registers

You don’t need to go out of your way to notice signs your air ducts could use a good cleaning. Look at the registers around your home and see if there’s any dust building up where the air comes out. If there is, then there’s likely dust building up on the inside of your air ducts as well, so you should have a professional clean them out.

2. Vents Contain Debris

You can also open up the vent covers to see if there’s any significant dust or debris on the inside. If you notice more buildup than usual, it could be a sign the ducts need cleaning. You should also check and change your filters regularly—about twice a year, or four times a year if you own a pet.

3. Air Conditioning Coil Is Dusty

The inner workings of your HVAC system can also contain signs you need duct cleaning services. For example, you can open up the panel on your air conditioner to see if there’s significant dust buildup on your air conditioning coil. The coil is the part of the system where cold air comes from, so it needs to be clean to effectively absorb heat.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to hire a duct cleaning service immediately so that there’s no further buildup or damage to your system.
