Eight months of furnace air moving through the same ducts
Your furnace runs October through May here, eight months of the year. Every time it kicks on, air pulls through the ductwork and carries whatever has settled there back into your rooms. On nights that average 22°F, the furnace is cycling on and off for hours, and each cycle moves more air through the same buildup.
Wood County has logged 79 damaging wind events over the past ten years. Wind that strong works dust and debris in around vents and returns, and it settles in the same ducts your furnace draws from all winter.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- There is no fixed schedule that fits every home, and a contractor can tell you what your ducts actually need after a look inside. Homes here run the furnace from October through May, eight months of the year, so the system is moving air most of the time. If anyone in the house has allergies, or you have pets that shed, or you just finished a renovation, cleaning sooner makes sense.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It depends on what is actually in the ducts. If you can see dust coming out of the vents, or there is visible mold, or you know rodents or insects have gotten into the system, cleaning solves a real problem. If the ducts look fine and no one in the house has breathing issues, the case for cleaning is weaker. A contractor can look inside the ducts with a camera and tell you what is really there before you decide.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum to the duct system, then uses brushes or air tools to loosen dust and debris from inside the ducts so the vacuum can pull it out. Every supply and return vent in the house gets cleaned this way. The furnace or air handler and the coil usually get cleaned at the same time, since they sit in the same airflow path.
