What power loss does to your ducts here
Iberia Parish gets hit with damaging wind often enough to knock the power out, and when that happens your air handler stops moving air. Nearly half of Louisiana households went at least 24 hours without power in 2024. Dust and moisture in the house do not stop just because the system is dark, and with nothing pulling air through the filter, it settles into the ducts instead.
Heat only runs here November through March. The rest of the year that buildup sits in the ductwork undisturbed, and when the system starts back up it gets pushed through the house instead of caught.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There is no set schedule that fits every home. If anyone in the house has allergies, if you have had rodents or a water leak near the ductwork, or if you can see dust blowing out of the vents, it is time to have them looked at. A contractor can check the ducts and tell you whether they need cleaning now or can wait.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It is worth it when there is a real reason for it, like dust coming out of the vents, a musty smell when the air kicks on, or work done on the ducts themselves. It will not fix a furnace or air conditioner that is running poorly, since ducts just carry the air. If nobody in the house has breathing trouble and the vents look clean, you may not need it yet.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum to the duct system and uses brushes or air tools to knock loose dust and debris off the inside walls of the ducts, then pulls it out through the vacuum. Vents and registers get cleaned too, and the furnace or air handler often gets a look since it connects to the same ducts. It runs room by room until the whole system has been gone through.
