How to know if your air ducts need cleaning
Air duct cleaning is not something every home needs on a fixed yearly schedule, but certain warning signs can mean your duct system deserves a closer look. If your home has excess dust, musty odors when the HVAC system runs, visible buildup around vents, recent renovation dust, pets, allergy concerns, or ducts that have not been inspected in years, a professional inspection can help you decide whether cleaning makes sense.
- Dust returns quickly after cleaning surfaces.
- Air vents or returns show visible dust, debris, or discoloration.
- Musty or stale odors appear when the heat or air conditioning turns on.
- Your home recently had construction, drywall work, sanding, or remodeling.
- You have pets, shedding, dander, or allergy-sensitive family members.
- You recently moved in and do not know the system’s cleaning history.

Angelo’s Cleaning has a video inspection system that may shed light on whether a cleaning is needed. Using a camera, we will inspect several of your air ducts to help you make a decision on cleaning. We can also use the camera to inspect your dryer vent for any possible issues or concerns. Having your vents cleaned will not cure allergies, but it can be one part of keeping your home cleaner and more comfortable.
