No season is a required time for routine duct cleaning. Choose a convenient appointment only if there is a documented reason to clean; EPA says routine duct cleaning has not been shown to prevent health problems.
Use conditions, not the calendar
EPA says cleaning may be considered when substantial visible mold growth is documented inside hard-surface ducts or HVAC components, vermin are inside ductwork, or excessive debris is released from supply registers. Dust, seasonal allergies, or heavy HVAC use alone do not establish a need.
Check filter fit and equipment maintenance, and address moisture, pests, or damaged ducts at their source. Ask a provider to show the condition and explain the written scope before approving work.
