The air ducts in a home or office building are typically the last things that many people think about cleaning because air ducts can’t be seen so most people typically forget about how important they are to their health.

Reason #2 – Pet Hair Accumulation
Another common reason to get your ducts cleaned is pet hair accumulation. If you have cats or dogs, pet hair can easily float around your home at will until it begins to accumulate in your air ducts.
If left uncleaned, pet hair accumulation can block the airflow from your air ducts and can also adversely affect breathing as well.
Reason #3 – Dust Build Up
Like pet hair, dust can also build up in ducts over time and when combined with a little moisture, duct can easily build up in ducts, creating a thick coating of sludge that affects the air coming from the ducts.
