Every time your system runs, the whole house breathes through its ducts. Air comes in through the returns, crosses the blower and coil, and goes back out through the supply registers, and whatever it carries tends to settle somewhere along that loop. For many Detroit homeowners, that is just a light film of dust and pet dander. For others, it is drywall dust from a remodel, construction debris that has sat in the trunk lines since the house was built, signs of rodents in crawlspace runs, or a musty odor that shows up each time the blower starts. Either way, the buildup costs you twice: worse air to breathe, and higher static pressure with a coated blower wheel and coil, so the system works harder and moves less.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Air Duct Cleaning
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- A stale, musty odor every time the heat or air comes on
- Allergy symptoms that flare up inside the house rather than easing
- Dust you can see blowing out of the vents at startup
- Moving into a home where nobody knows when the ducts were last touched
- Renovation or drywall work done with the ducts uncovered
- Registers and nearby ceilings growing dark halos of blown dust
- Air filters that clog with dark debris long before they should
- Signs of rodents or insects in or around the duct runs
