Think of the ductwork as the lungs of your home. Returns inhale, the blower pushes that air across the equipment, and the supplies exhale it back into the rooms, hour after hour. Anything carried along for the ride eventually settles inside. In a typical Redding, CA house, that is a thin layer of dust and dander. Elsewhere, we find renovation dust, original construction scraps still sitting in the trunks, evidence of past pests, or the cause behind a musty startup smell. The damage is double: the air your family breathes gets worse, and the airways narrow while the blower and coil load up, which means the equipment has to work harder to deliver less air.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Air Duct Cleaning
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Watch for these telltale signs:
- A remodel or drywall project where the vents were never covered
- A puff of dust from the registers each time the system kicks on
- A home you just bought with an unknown or unkempt service history
- A stale, musty odor every time the heat or air comes on
- Gray streaks and halos building up around the registers
- Filters loading up with dark debris faster than the schedule says they should
- Allergy symptoms that flare up inside the house rather than easing
- Evidence of mice, insects, or other pests in or near the ductwork
