How do I know if my air ducts need cleaning?
- Do you suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems?
- Have you noticed stale or musty odors coming from your furnace while or after it has run?
- Does anyone in your home suffer from headaches, sinus problems, or nasal congestion after spending time indoors?
- Have you or do you know heat with wood?
- Are the ceiling tiles or walls next to your registers discolored?
- Do you have, or have there been cats, dogs, birds or other pets in your home?
- Have you done any remodeling or construction?
- Do you use standard fiberglass filters?
- Do you have dust on furniture shortly after cleaning?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may want to consider having your air ducts professionally cleaned and sanitized.

What are the concerns of indoor air quality?
Studies have shown that the air in our homes can be even more polluted – in some cases it may be 10 to 100 times more polluted – than outdoor air in big cities. Since most Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors, at home and at work, breathing clean air can have an important impact on health.
What are the hazards of not cleaning dryer vents?
Lack of dryer vent maintenance is the leading cause of dryer fires, and lint (which is a hidden fire hazard) is the material most likely to ignite according to the The Consumer Products Safety Commission.
Even a cleaned lint screen traps only 75% of the lint. When lint builds up in the dryer vents, the dryer motor has to labor harder and can overheat, igniting the lint.
Clogged lint screen compartments, disconnected or ripped vent hoses, smashed hoses behind the dryer, bird nests in the pipe, screens placed over the exhaust point and the use of white plastic vent hose all produce similar blockage, and cause dryer fires!
All these fires are preventable with the help of Pace Air Duct Cleaning!
