1. Dust keeps returning
If you dust and it is back in a few days, the air may be carrying it from dirty ducts.
2. Dust or debris at the vents
Take off a vent cover and look. Heavy dust, pet hair or debris is a clear sign.
3. A musty or stale smell
A damp or stale smell when the heat or A/C starts can point to dust with moisture.
4. More sneezing indoors
If you feel stuffier inside than outside, cleaner ducts may help. Talk to a doctor about health concerns.
5. Uneven temperatures
Blocked or dirty ducts can leave some rooms hotter or colder than others.
6. A recent remodel or move
Building work leaves fine dust that ends up in ducts. Clean them before you settle in.
7. It has been years
If you cannot remember your last cleaning, it has probably been too long.
