Ten months of heat means ten months of dust moving through your ducts
Your furnace runs September through June here, ten months a year. That is ten months of air pushing through the same ducts, carrying dust and whatever else settles in a house shut up tight against winter nights that average 18°F.
Crescent Valley has seen 101 winter storms and 97 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Wind like that drives dust into a house through every gap it can find, and the ductwork moves it around and lays it back down inside the vents and trunk lines where you cannot see it. With the furnace running most months of the year, that buildup does not get much of a break to settle and stay put.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There is no fixed schedule that fits every home. Have it done sooner if anyone in the house has allergies, if you have had rodents or a water leak near the ductwork, or if you notice dust coming out of the vents. Homes here run heat from September through June, so the system moves air through those ducts most of the year, and a contractor who looks at your ductwork can tell you what condition it is actually in.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It is worth it when there is a real reason behind it, like visible dust at the vents, a musty smell when the furnace runs, or recent work that left debris in the ducts. It will not lower your heating bill or fix a furnace problem on its own. A contractor can look at your ducts and tell you whether cleaning will actually help your situation.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to your ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to loosen dust and debris, then pulls it out through the vacuum before it resettles. They will also check and clean the supply and return vents, and sometimes the blower compartment where dust collects near the furnace. The filter is a separate part and gets replaced on its own schedule, not cleaned along with the ducts.
