If you are considering having your air ducts cleaned, you may be considering doing it yourself. Cleaning air ducts is very difficult, nearly impossible to do on your own. If you are wondering if this means you should just leave them alone, the professionals at Ambient Edge want to strongly suggest that you not do that.
Air ducts factor heavily into the quality of hair inside your home or business. Mold, dust, dirt, and debris can be found inside your air ducts. This can build up tremendously if not regularly cleaned.
Your HVAC system circulates air through your home, moving all of that dirt and debris when the air goes through the ducts. Your air quality and possibly your health can be compromised because of dirty air ducts.
When to Clean Your Air Ducts
Air ducts that have been neglected for a while more than likely need cleaning. But, other than the time since the last cleaning, there are some ways to tell when it’s time to have them tended to. Here are some things to consider if you are wondering if it’s time to have your air ducts cleaned:
- If you have battled insects or rodents inside your home or business, their droppings or dead bugs may have found their way into your air ducts. For obvious reasons, you will want that cleaned out.
- Home remodeling creates lots of dust and debris. Following a project, if dust still is circulating around your home, you may need to have your air ducts cleaned.
- Mold and mildew can build up on or around your air ducts. If you notice this, give Ambient Edge a call so that we can see that your air ducts are clean and uncontaminated.
While you may want to avoid the expense of having your air ducts professionally cleaned, consider the benefits. Keeping your home unpolluted can go a long way toward keeping your family healthy.
It is crucial that you hire a professional if you decide they need cleaning. Many projects are prime for DIY, but air duct cleaning is not one of them. There is a right way to clean air ducts. If the right protocol is not followed, you can create bigger problems by dislodging important parts of your system or by causing the air to escape into other parts of the home.

How Does Air Duct Cleaning Work
We will first disconnect the power from your HVAC system. The next step is removing the duct covers and grills throughout the space. The grates all need to be cleaned with a cleaning brush and often with soapy water to remove accumulated dust and oil.
The grates then must be dried completely. Your professional air duct cleaning company will then use a high-powered vacuum intended for duct cleaning to remove dust, debris, bugs, pet hair, dirt, dead bugs, and rodent droppings. They will go deep into your air ducts to remove anything that should not be there.
We take extra care to ensure your ceiling grills are thoroughly cleaned. During this portion of the process, avoid being in the space because dust and debris will fall from your ceiling, and you want to avoid breathing it in.
Dust Buildup Prevention
If you want to prolong the time between air duct cleanings, preventing dirt, dust, and debris from building up is the best place to start.
