The guidance on air duct cleaning provided by the EPA underscores that the decision to clean air ducts in a home should be informed and specific to certain conditions due to the early stage of knowledge on its benefits for health or indoor air quality. It emphasizes that air duct cleaning has not been proven to prevent health problems, nor is there conclusive evidence that dirty ducts increase particle levels indoors. However, cleaning is recommended in cases of substantial mold growth, infestation by vermin, or significant dust and debris that compromises air quality. Additionally, while routine cleaning isn't advocated, the EPA suggests inspection and maintenance of heating systems and advises on the cautious use of chemical biocides or sealants within ducts. Preventing duct contamination by keeping them dry and clean is highlighted as the most effective strategy. For more detailed information, visit the EPA's guidance on air duct cleaning.
