Should You Have the Air Ducts in Your Home Cleaned?

You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if:

There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system. There are several important points to understand concerning mold detection in heating and cooling systems.

Many sections of your heating and cooling system may not be accessible for a visible inspection, so ask the service provider to show you any mold they say exists.

You should be aware that although a substance may look like mold, a positive determination of whether it is mold or not can be made only by an expert and may require laboratory analysis for final confirmation.

Be advised: If you have insulated air ducts and the insulation gets wet or moldy it cannot be effectively cleaned and should be removed and replaced. If the conditions causing the mold growth in the first place are not corrected, mold growth will come back.

Air Duct Sanitizing needs to be considered if your air ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects). Duct Sanitizing should be considered if your ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.
