Step 1 of 3: Equipment
Lovelock ductwork works most of the year
Furnaces here run October through May, eight months a year. That is eight months of air moving through the same ducts, night after night, on nights that average 23°F. Dust that settles in the duct works its way back into the house every time the furnace kicks on.
Pershing County has seen 10 winter storms and 53 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Wind like that pushes dust and debris in through every gap it can find, and it ends up pulled into the return along with the air your furnace is heating.
- 8 months

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every home. Homes with pets, a smoker, or someone with allergies tend to need it sooner, since more gets pulled into the return air. If you see heavy dust buildup at the registers or dust keeps resettling right after cleaning, that's a sign to have them looked at rather than wait.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it if your ducts actually have a buildup problem, not as something to do on a routine schedule. Dust, pet hair, and debris sitting in the ducts get pushed into every room when your furnace or air conditioner runs, so clearing it out improves the air moving through the house. It won't lower your heating or cooling bills. A contractor can look at the ducts and tell you whether cleaning will actually help.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork, then agitates the inside of the ducts with brushes or air tools to knock loose dust and debris before pulling it out. The registers and the return grille usually get cleaned too, since buildup collects there as well. The job covers the supply and return ducts throughout the house, not just the vents you can see.
