Read the 4 signs below to find out!

1. Debris and dust from the registers 

Excess dust and debris may start being released into the air within the house and prompt health problems, more than 40 pounds of it may be accumulated in just one year. If you notice any signs of excess dusting around the areas of ventilation, it’s time to get your air ducts cleaned. 

2. Reduced efficiency
