Seven months of heating pushes air through your ducts
Your furnace runs October through April here, and every cycle pushes air through the same ductwork. Dust, pet hair, and the dry skin cells that build up in any home get pulled in and pushed back out, month after month, for most of the year.
Mooresville has had 9 winter storms and 105 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Storms like that mean power blinks off, ducts sit still, and whatever settled in them stays put until the system starts back up and blows it through the house again.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every home, so let the signs guide you. If anyone in the house has allergies, if you've had work done that left dust in the lines, or if you can see debris at the vents, it's time. A contractor can look at your ducts and tell you what condition they're actually in rather than guessing by the calendar.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it when there's a real reason behind it, like dust coming out of the vents, a musty smell when the air kicks on, or work that was done on the ductwork itself. It won't lower your heating bill or fix a system that's running poorly for other reasons. A contractor can look at your ducts and tell you whether cleaning will actually help your situation.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or air whips to loosen dust and debris along the way, pulling it out through the vacuum rather than pushing it further into the system. The supply and return vents get cleaned too, along with the grilles covering them. On some systems the blower and coil get attention as well, since dust collects there and moves right back into the air.
