When it comes to cleaning air ducts in homes and apartments, our experience suggests that it should be done every two to four years. For commercial properties, such as shopping malls, schools, and office buildings, it is recommended to check the air conditioning system and the ducts annually and clean them when necessary. Generally speaking, a general duct system should be cleaned every three to five years. However, if the system is properly sealed, it may last longer as dirt and debris cannot stick to or take root on the surface of the sealant.
Additionally, sealing the ducts helps prevent small air leaks that allow treated air to escape. These leaks are a major source of wasted energy and money, and a sealing service can help eliminate most of the small cracks and other leaks that are hard to detect.

Pompano Beach residents often have to deal with high indoor humidity levels, which increases the risk of mold and mildew formation and causes bad smells in air conditioner vents that spread throughout the house. Cleaning your ducts is great for your overall health, but things will go back to the way they were unless you take proactive steps to keep them clean. Homeowners may choose to clean vents between professional cleaning visits, but installing the vents themselves increases the risk of spreading dust and other irritants and reducing indoor air quality. However, according to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), there are several reasons for cleaning air ducts that could increase the need to clean them more frequently.
