• Air pollutants can cause lung disease.

  How Often Should We Clean Our Ducts?
  Frequency depends on the factors in your home:

• Do you smoke?
• Do you have pets? Do they shed?
• Anyone in the house have asthma or allergies?
• Did you remodel your home?
• Did you just purchase your home?

Chances are if you just moved in, the air ducts have never been cleaned. Good rule of thumb is to clean every 3 to 5 years.
