La Paz County wind is hard on ductwork
Thirty two damaging wind events have hit this county over the past ten years. Wind like that carries dust, and dust works its way into a duct system over time, settling along the inside of the runs.
Homes here only need heat from November through February, four months when nights average 42°F. The rest of the year the ducts still move air whenever the cooling runs, carrying whatever settled in past storms through the house.
- 4 months
- November through February, your furnace pushes air through your ducts
- 7 months
- April through October, your air conditioner does the same

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There is no fixed schedule that fits every home. Homes with pets, a recent renovation, or someone with allergies tend to need it more often than others. If you can see dust building up around the vent covers or coming out when the system starts, that is a sign it is due. A contractor can look at the ducts and tell you where things stand.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It is worth it when there is a real reason behind it, like visible dust, a musty smell from the vents, or work done on the ductwork recently. It will not lower your heating bills or fix an airflow problem on its own. A contractor can look at the ducts and tell you whether cleaning will actually help your situation.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or compressed air tools to knock loose dust and debris, then pulls it out through the vacuum. Registers, grilles, and the coil area often get cleaned as part of the same visit. The furnace and air conditioner get checked too, since dust in the ducts usually means dust in the equipment.
