Is Air Duct Cleaning Really Necessary?

Air duct cleaning is not always necessary, but it can be beneficial when there is significant buildup affecting airflow or air quality.

When Duct Cleaning Makes Sense

Duct cleaning isn’t something every home needs on a regular schedule. However, in certain situations, it can help improve both airflow and indoor air quality.

It’s most beneficial when:

  • Buildup inside the ducts is restricting airflow
  • Dust or debris is being circulated through the home
  • The system has been exposed to construction dust or contaminants

At Radiant, we don’t recommend duct cleaning unless it’s needed. We start with an inspection to determine whether cleaning will actually improve your system’s performance.
