To keep air ducts as clean as possible between professional cleanings, follow a few simple steps to dramatically reduce the amount of dirt that enters an HVAC system. First and foremost, home and building owners must use HVAC filters with high-efficiency ratings and change filters according to manufacturer recommendations. If filters become dirty or clogged, change them even more frequently.
Keeping an HVAC unit itself clear of dirt and debris is also essential. Make sure that any vegetation is kept at least two feet from outside units in all directions.
Vents must be airtight and well-insulated, particularly in areas such as attics and basements, where moisture tends to accumulate. Immediately repair any duct leaks to ensure that the HVAC system is properly sealed.
