What sits in your ducts most of the year
Your furnace runs November through March here, five months out of the year. The rest of the time your ducts sit closed up, and whatever settles in them, dust, pollen, the fine grit that works through a return vent, stays put until the system starts moving air again.
Acadia Parish has seen 48 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and storms like that often knock out power. Nearly half of Louisiana households went at least a day without power in 2024. When a system shuts down and restarts, it pushes air through duct runs that have been sitting still, carrying along whatever built up in them while the power was out.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every house. It depends more on what's going on inside the home than on the calendar, things like pets, someone with allergies, or recent work that kicked up dust, such as a furnace replacement or renovation. A contractor can look inside the ducts near the vents and tell you whether there's enough buildup to bother with.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it if your ducts actually have buildup, dust, pet hair, debris from a renovation. A contractor can check this before you pay for anything by looking inside the ducts near the vents. If the ducts are clean, cleaning them again won't improve your air or your system's performance. If they're not, clearing them out means less dust circulating and can help air move through the system the way it's supposed to.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor uses brushes and a high-powered vacuum to loosen debris from inside the ductwork and pull it out before it can spread. Each vent and return gets opened and cleaned individually, along with the main trunk lines. The furnace or air handler and the coil often get a look too, since they connect straight to the same air supply.
