What Denton County weather leaves behind in your ducts
Your furnace only runs November through March here, five months of the year. The rest of the time your ducts sit closed up, and dust settles in them without much air moving through to stir it back out.
Denton County has seen 20 winter storms and 115 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Wind like that pushes dust and debris into any gap around a vent or a return, and it ends up sitting in the duct run. Add in the power outages that come with bad weather, statewide 33% of households lost power for at least a day in 2024, and a system that stops and starts back up is pulling that settled dust straight into the air it blows through the house.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There is no fixed schedule that fits every home. Clean them sooner if you notice dust building up fast around the vents, if someone in the house has new allergy symptoms, or if recent work left drywall dust or debris behind. A contractor can look inside the ducts with a camera and tell you if yours need it now or can wait.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It depends on what is actually in your ducts. If there is heavy dust, pet hair, or signs of rodents or mold, cleaning them can cut down on what blows into your rooms every time the furnace or AC runs. If the ducts look clean and the house has no dust or odor problem, you are likely paying for something that will not change much. Have a contractor inspect them first so you know which situation you are in.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to your ductwork to pull air through it, then uses brushes or air whips to knock loose dust and debris off the duct walls so it gets pulled into the vacuum instead of back into your rooms. Each supply and return vent gets cleaned this way, and the furnace or air handler itself usually gets a look too since dust collects around the blower and coil. Register covers often come off during the job so the inside edges get cleaned as well.
