According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the air inside the average home is 70 to 90 times more polluted than the air outside. This can cause many problems for Houston residents, especially children and those with respiratory issues. Professional air duct cleaning is an important part of maintaining good air quality inside the home.
The contractor should use equipment recognized by the National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA), which will typically include vacuum equipment, brushes, and air compressors. Usually, a thorough duct cleaning job takes about four to eight hours for an average-sized house.
In between cleanings, it’s recommended to clean your air filters regularly. During periods of high use, such as the summer, you should clean your air filter once per month.
