Maintenance Tips for Clean Air Ducts
Proper maintenance between professional cleanings helps preserve indoor air quality and extend the time between comprehensive duct cleaning services.
Regular Air Filter Replacement
Replace HVAC air filters every 1-3 months using high-quality MERV-rated filters to capture airborne particles before they enter your ductwork system. This simple maintenance step significantly reduces contamination buildup.
Maintain Proper Humidity Levels
Keep indoor humidity between 30-50% to prevent mold growth and reduce dust mite populations. Use dehumidifiers in humid climates and humidifiers in dry conditions to maintain optimal moisture levels.
Professional HVAC Maintenance
Schedule annual HVAC maintenance with certified technicians to ensure your system operates efficiently and identify potential issues before they lead to ductwork contamination.
