Kissimmee's ducts run cooling almost year round

Your air conditioner barely rests here. Winter nights average 52°F, mild enough that the heat stays off most of the year, so it is the AC blower moving air through your ducts nearly every month. Every hour it runs, it pulls household dust and moisture through the same passages, and that buildup lines the duct walls and grilles.

Osceola County has logged 14 damaging wind events over the past ten years. When a storm cuts the power, the blower stops and humid air sits still in the ducts instead of moving through them, which gives any dust already there something to hold onto.

How often should air ducts be cleaned?
There's no fixed schedule that fits every house. If anyone in the house has allergies, or you just finished a renovation that kicked up drywall dust and debris, get the ducts cleaned sooner rather than later. Otherwise, a contractor can look at your vents and tell you whether yours need attention now or can wait.
Is air duct cleaning worth it?
It depends on what's going on in your ducts. If you can see dust building up around your vents, or you've had rodents or a water leak get into the ductwork, cleaning is worth doing. If your ducts are in reasonable shape and nobody in the house has breathing trouble, you may not need it as urgently. A contractor can inspect the ducts and tell you what's actually in there before you spend money on cleaning you don't need.
What does air duct cleaning involve?
A contractor uses specialized vacuum equipment to pull dust, debris and buildup out of the ductwork, then agitates the inside of the ducts with brushes or air tools to loosen what's stuck to the walls. Every supply and return vent in the house gets cleaned, along with the main trunk lines. The filter gets replaced or cleaned as well, since it's what catches the debris going forward. A thorough job also checks the vent hood and any connections for gaps that let dust back in.
