How often should ventilation ducts be cleaned in residential homes?
Many people are unsure how often ventilation ducts should be inspected and cleaned to ensure a healthy indoor climate and proper performance of the ventilation system. Proper maintenance can help improve air quality, reduce energy consumption and extend the lifespan of the ventilation system.
Answer:
Flexit recommends that ventilation ducts are inspected every six years. During the inspection, the need for cleaning is assessed based on the condition of the ducts, usage and surrounding environment. It is not always necessary to clean the ducts at every inspection, but cleaning should be carried out when there is visible dust and dirt or reduced airflow. If needed, Flexit can help you find a qualified company to perform inspection and cleaning safely and correctly.
