The ducts in your home or office play a key role in determining the indoor air quality. Ducts circulate the air from your furnace throughout the building to ensure even warming and air circulation in every room.

There are a few things that can inhibit the efficiency of a duct system including vents being blocked by furniture, holes or blockages or the buildup of dust, bacteria and other surprises within the ducting itself.

While it cannot always be explained how your kids' toys end up deep within the ducting beneath your floor, what we do know is the negative impact such things have on the circulation and effectiveness of your system.

A proper duct cleaning and regular preventative maintenance of your entire system will help to ensure the indoor air quality of your home, as well as prevent the build up of harmful mold, mildew and other bacteria. The average home should have the ductwork cleaned and inspected every 2-3 years, however this timeframe can vary if you live in a particularly dusty or dirty environment. With Southern Alberta being relatively dry and dusty with strong winds, it is recommended that you not wait longer than 3 years between duct cleanings to maintain a healthy home.
