The Silent Killer: How Dirty Air Ducts Affect Your Home’s Air Quality

1 min read

Is Your Home’s Air Making You Sick?

At Brian & Sons, we often encounter homeowners who are unaware of the hidden dangers lurking in their air ducts. While many people focus on the visible aspects of their HVAC systems, such as changing filters or maintaining the outdoor unit, the ductwork often goes overlooked. This oversight can lead to serious consequences for your indoor air quality and, ultimately, your health.

The Perils of Neglected Ductwork

Over time, air ducts can accumulate:

  • Dust and debris
  • Mold and mildew
  • Pet dander
  • Pollen and other allergens

These contaminants are then circulated throughout your home every time your HVAC system runs, potentially causing respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems.

Signs You Need Duct Cleaning

If you notice any of the following, it might be time to schedule a professional duct cleaning:

1. Visible dust coming from vents
2. Increased allergy symptoms
3. Musty odors when the system runs
4. Higher than usual energy bills
