At Southern Idaho Home Inspections, we’ve seen it all when it comes to HVAC ductwork. You wouldn’t believe some of the things we’ve found hiding in vents—dust bunnies the size of actual bunnies, old toys, pet hair clumps, mold growth, and even the occasional lost sock!
This is why duct cleaning is a common recommendation on our inspection reports. Over time, your HVAC system collects dust, debris, and allergens, which can affect both air quality and system efficiency.
Why Should You Have Your Ducts Cleaned?
🔹 Better Air Quality – Every time your HVAC kicks on, it can blow dust, pollen, and pet dander into your living space—triggering allergies and respiratory issues.
🔹 Eliminate Odors – Musty smells, lingering pet odors, and even trapped food smells can all come from dirty ductwork.
🔹 Boost Efficiency – A clogged system has to work harder, which means higher energy bills and more wear and tear on your HVAC components.
🔹 Extend HVAC Lifespan – A clean system lasts longer and runs more efficiently, saving you money on costly repairs.
If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in years—or ever—it might be time to schedule a professional cleaning. Trust us, your lungs (and your HVAC system) will thank you!
