Common Questions Regarding Air Duct Cleaning Service

Here’s a guide to some commonly asked questions we get asked regarding our professional Chicago air duct cleaning services and Chicago HVAC cleaning services as prepared here by the professional Chicago ductwork cleaning team here at EmDuct.

What are the benefits of air duct cleaning?

It’s recommended that air ducts are cleaned on a yearly basis, especially if your household has residents with asthma, allergies, people who smoke, pets that shed dander, or if your new home has been contaminated with smoke, is a brand new home, or has just received renovations.

 

How often should air ducts be cleaned?

The NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, recommends that air ducts are cleaned every 3-5 years. However, they should be cleaned more often if people in the household smoke, or have asthma or extreme allergies. Furthermore, homes with pets that shed, smoke contamination, home renovations – and brand new constructed homes – should have air ducts cleaned.

 

Can I clean my air ducts myself?

We don’t recommend doing this, but you can take a few steps to make sure that your air ducts remain cleaner for much longer. Change your air filters on a regular basis, and clean the ends of the air ducts. It’s hard to reach the entirety of the duct system, which requires special equipment for inspection, repair, cleaning and sanitization. Professional air duct cleaners will have this crucial equipment, and will be able to provide you a much more thorough and professional cleaning than you’d be able to get on your own.
