Maintaining a healthy air conditioning system is essential for optimal efficiency, and the National Association of Air Duct Cleaners (NADCA) recommends cleaning air ducts every 3 to 5 years. In warmer climates, such as Florida, it is suggested to clean them more often - once in early spring and once in early fall. There are several ways to keep ducts and vents clean and reduce the need for frequent cleaning. Clean air ducts help prevent the formation of mold, the accumulation of allergens, and also stop insects and rodents from nesting inside the house.
Additionally, regular maintenance of air conditioning ducts is necessary for air circulation and clean air quality in your home. While cleaning the entire duct system requires the help of an HVAC technician, you can clean the vents yourself between maintenance visits. Another way to keep the ducts clean is to ensure that the system's cooling coils and drain trays are clean during seasonal air conditioning maintenance service. To sum up, it is recommended to clean commercial air ducts in Florida at least once a year, or every 3 to 5 years depending on the climate.
Cleaning the air conditioner ducts and vents is necessary for good quality and clean air circulation in the home. Additionally, make sure that the air conditioner maintenance service cleans the cooling coils and drain trays during the unit's annual maintenance check.
