Your duct system is the respiratory tract of the house: every hour the blower runs, it draws air from the return side, pushes air across the equipment, and exhales through the supplies, and everything that air carries settles somewhere along the way. In most Denver, CO homes that means dust and pet dander in a thin film; in some it means drywall dust from the last renovation, debris from the original construction still sitting in the trunks, the leavings of past pests, or a musty smell that arrives every time the system starts. Buildup does its damage twice: it degrades the air your family breathes, and it narrows airways and loads the blower, making the whole system work harder to move less air.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Air Duct Cleaning
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- A home you just bought with an unknown or unkempt service history
- A remodel or drywall project where the vents were never covered
- Filters turning gray or black well before their scheduled change
- A stale, musty odor every time the heat or air comes on
- Dark dust shadows forming around supply vents on the ceiling
- Signs of rodents or insects in or around the duct runs
- A puff of dust from the registers each time the system kicks on
- Allergy or dust complaints that get worse indoors, not better
