However, homes with pets or children with allergies should have their air ducts professionally cleaned more frequently than the recommended average.
You should also remember that ductwork is not like fine wine, it doesn’t get better with age. And when ductwork gets old (10-15 y.o.), homeowners should replace it.

Absolutely! I wonder how many families are still using the same old filters without changing them out?

Thanks, Tammy. I think people take their air quality for granted. And I’m always surprised by the parents I talk to who have kids that have air-born issues (like allergies) who don’t take some of these steps.

We got a Lennox Pure Air which we love, cleaned our duct work and replaced any fiberglass ducts with metal. Our HVAC coils are cleaned yearly and we change filters strictly every 30 days. We need a HEPA filter in our bedroom. Our air quality improved so much we can notice poor air quality easily. Great advice for air quality!

Love the Honeywell. Boy did it make a difference for me! Much more than a regular filter.

The individual HEPA filter really made such a difference. I was quite surprised. Hope those sniffles go away!

We have a big yellow Lab, a lovable cat, and a lovable husband that smokes cigars. Did have my son-in-law clean and tune up for the furnace and buying some of the awesome furnace filters.

But great tips I must say.
