What Shreveport's air puts through your ducts
Caddo Parish sees plenty of wind, 279 damaging wind events over the past ten years, along with 7 winter storms. Wind that strong pushes dust, pollen, and debris into every gap around vents and returns, and it settles in the ductwork long after the storm passes.
Half of Louisiana households lost power for at least a day in 2024. When that happens in winter, a home sits without heat, then starts up again once the power is back, pulling whatever has collected in the ducts back through the house. With the furnace running most nights from November through March, that cycle repeats often enough for buildup to become a real problem, one that shows up as dust on furniture and a harder-working system just when the house needs it most.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There's no fixed schedule that fits every home, so most contractors judge it by what they find rather than the calendar. If anyone in the house has allergies, if you've had work done that left dust behind, or if you can't remember the last time it was done, that's reason enough to have it looked at. A contractor can check the ducts and tell you whether cleaning will make a real difference in your case.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it when there's a real reason for it, like visible dust coming from vents, a musty smell when the air kicks on, or work that was done on the house recently. It won't lower your heating or cooling bills on its own. A contractor can look at the ducts and tell you whether cleaning will actually help your air or if something else, like the filter, is the real problem.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor runs a brush or air whip through the ducts to knock loose dust and debris, then pulls it all out with a vacuum system connected to the ductwork. The supply and return vents get cleaned too, along with the grilles covering them. On some jobs the coil gets checked as well, since dust that reaches the coil can affect how well the system heats and cools.
