Clean Air Vents

Be sure to include cleaning air vents and grilles in your long list of spring maintenance check. You can simply turn off your HVAC system, walk towards the vents and see if there are pet hairs or the grilles are dusty. If there are, remove the vent cover and clean the component using vacuum, duster, or soft cloth. You can also wash it with soap; just make sure to dry it completely before putting it back.

Schedule a Professional Duct Cleaning

Every time your HVAC system turns on and blows hot or cold air it can also cause those particles to spread throughout the home and can be breathed in. If the occupants of the home have allergies, asthma or other issues or if you notice a dust accumulation on furniture withing a few days of dusting and vacuuming, dirty ducts are likely the problem.
