Eight months of heating pulls a lot of dust through your ducts
Furnaces here run October through May. That is most of the year moving air through the same ductwork, and every pass carries a little more dust and debris into the trunk lines and around the seams.
Delta has also seen 32 winter storms and 39 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Wind that strong works dust and debris in around doors, attic vents, and any gap in the duct system, and it ends up settling in the ducts along with everything the furnace has been circulating all winter.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every house. Ducts need cleaning when there's a reason, dust visibly blowing from the vents, a musty smell when the furnace runs, or debris left behind from remodeling work. Homes here run the furnace from October through May, so more air moves through the ducts over the year than it would somewhere with a shorter heating season. A contractor can check the ducts and tell you honestly whether they need it now.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it if the ducts actually have a problem. Visible dust coming from the vents, a musty smell when the furnace kicks on, or leftover debris from recent work are all signs. It won't lower your heating bill or fix a furnace that's struggling, that's a different job. A contractor can look at the ducts and tell you honestly whether cleaning will help your situation.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to loosen dust and debris along the way, then pulls it all out through the vacuum. Every supply and return vent gets cleaned, along with the main trunk lines. The furnace or air handler itself, including the coil, usually gets a look too since it connects straight to the ducts.
