What sits in your ducts most of the year
Your furnace runs November through March here, five months a year. The rest of the year that ductwork sits closed up with whatever settled in it last, and nothing moves through to clear it out.
Jefferson County has seen 48 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and storms like that knock out power. In Texas, a third of households went at least a day without power in 2024. When the power drops, so does your airflow, and dust that would normally get pulled toward the filter just settles in the duct instead.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every home, but a few things should move it up. If a storm has knocked out your power for a stretch, or you've had work done on the house that kicked up drywall dust or insulation, have the ducts looked at sooner rather than later. Homes with pets or anyone with allergies often need it more often than homes without.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it when there's a real reason behind it, like dust coming out of the vents, a musty smell when the air kicks on, or nearby work that let debris into the system. It won't lower your heating or cooling bills, and it isn't something to do on a fixed schedule just to do it. A contractor can look at your ducts and tell you honestly whether cleaning them will help.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to knock debris loose from inside the supply and return lines, then pulls it out through the vacuum. They'll also check the vent covers, the coil, and sometimes the blower housing, since dust collects there too. The whole system gets sealed back up when they're done so no air leaks out between the vents and the furnace or air handler.
