Are you seeing small feathery dust puffing out from an air duct when you turn your heating ventilation and air conditional (HVAC) system on? Have you found dust or pet hair trapped in a vent? If so, your ducts might be in for a good cleaning.
Dead skin, hair and pet dander latch onto the small particles of dust on air duct surfaces, vents, motors and coils. This creates the perfect environment for bacteria, dust mites and allergens to flourish. While air filters help remove this from the air, they are still trapped in parts of the HVAC system. This is why it’s important to have ducts checked regularly – especially when they “look” dirty.
