How Often Should You Have Your Ducts Cleaned?

Clean Your Ducts Every 3 to 5 Years

As a rule of thumb, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests cleaning your ducts every 3 to five 5. There is not a formula for figuring out an exact time period. Rather, professionals have collectively based it on past experience with a wide range of systems. If your HVAC system needs cleaning more than once a year, then there is a problem with the system that is allowing dirt to infiltrate the components. You should call a Dust Doctors expert to get the air system fixed, and forget about the cleaning!
