Air Duct Cleaning: To Do or Not to Do?

[sajesak]

Hey everyone,

I've been contemplating whether I should get my air ducts cleaned, but I'm feeling a bit uncertain about it. Can anyone share their experiences or insights on the matter?

How often should it be done? And most importantly, does it make a significant difference in air quality and HVAC performance?

I've heard mixed opinions, and I want to make an informed decision.

Also, if anyone has recommendations for reputable duct cleaning services or DIY methods,

I'd greatly appreciate it.

Unless you have had a breach/intrusion of your ducts by ,say, rodents, there is NO need to clean ducts. You can google search “duct cleaning EPA” and will see confirmation of what I know to be true. A good pleated filter in the system is worthwhile.
Any residual dirt in ducts stays put, so not disturbing is preferable. You certainly can find duct cleaners in the marketplace but for normal duct conditions, it is just nonsense to clean ducts.

I agree with Breplum. I've always used high quality 90-95% efficiency air filters and never needed a duct cleaned.
