Your duct system is the respiratory tract of the house: every hour the blower runs, it draws air 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 New York City, NY 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 raises static pressure and coats the blower wheel and coil, 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
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- Filters turning gray or black well before their scheduled change
- Signs of rodents or insects in or around the duct runs
- A home you just bought with an unknown or unkempt service history
- Registers and nearby ceilings growing dark halos of blown dust
- A musty or stale smell that arrives whenever the system runs
- Allergy symptoms that flare up inside the house rather than easing
- Renovation or drywall work done with the ducts uncovered
- A puff of dust from the registers each time the system kicks on
