What outages and storms leave in your ducts
When the power goes out, the air in your ducts sits still. Nearly half of Louisiana households went at least 24 hours without power in 2024, and every one of those hours is time for dust to settle in the bends and seams instead of moving through and out.
Jefferson Parish has seen 38 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Storms like that can push debris and moisture in through vents and returns, and once it settles inside the ductwork it stays there until something clears it out.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every home, so most contractors judge it by condition rather than a calendar. If anyone in the house has allergies, or the ducts have had a rodent problem or water damage, cleaning sooner makes sense. A contractor can look at the ductwork and tell you what shape it's actually in.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it when there's a real reason behind it, like visible dust coming from the vents, a musty smell when the air handler runs, or known mold or pest activity in the ducts. It won't fix an allergy problem on its own and it won't lower a utility bill by itself either. A contractor can look at the ducts and tell you whether cleaning will actually address what's bothering you, or whether the issue is somewhere else, like the filter or the coil.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A technician connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to knock dust and debris loose, then pulls it out through the vacuum before it resettles. They also clean the supply and return grilles, and check components like the coil and blower housing since dust builds up there too. The whole system gets sealed back up when the work is done so air isn't leaking out through the access points.
