10 Warning Signs Your HVAC System Needs to be Cleaned and Inspected

Midvale, UT | October 19, 2022

Salt Lake City Duct cleaning experts All Pro Services gives 10 warning signs your HVAC system needs to be cleaned or inspected

Did you know that 9 out of 10 HVAC system failures are because of dirt and dust? A buildup of just .042" of dirt on heating and cooling coils can result in a 21% efficiency decrease! While clean systems restore capacity and have less running time which means savings on heating and cooling bills. Polluted air in your home or business can also lead to sickness. Nearly 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted air. That's why All Pro Services of Utah wants to stress the importance of regularly cleaning and inspecting your HVAC system.


But how do you know when it's time for a cleaning and inspection? Here are 10 warning signs:


1. The air coming from your vents smells musty or dirty

When there is musty or dirty smell coming from your vents, it could be a sign that mold or mildew is growing in your system. Mold and mildew not only affect air quality, and can lead to significant health issues, but can also lead to system malfunctions.


2. Your energy bills have been steadily increasing

If the cost of heating and cooling your home or business seems to be rising without explanation, dirty HVAC components could be to blame. As dirt builds up on coils and other components, they work harder to complete their tasks, leading to increased energy consumption and higher bills.


3. Your home or business is not reaching the desired temperature

If it takes longer for your space to reach the desired temperature, or if it seems like the temperature can't be maintained, dirty components could be blocking proper airflow. This decrease in efficiency can also lead to higher energy bills.


4. Your HVAC system is constantly running

If your system seems to never turn off, it may be because it's struggling to properly heat or cool your space due to dirty components. Cleaning and inspecting your system can help restore its efficiency and reduce the amount of time it runs.


5. Your HVAC system is making strange noises

If your HVAC system is making loud or strange noises, it could be a sign of trouble within the system. A professional inspection can help pinpoint any potential problems and prevent them from getting worse.


6. Rooms in your home or business are inconsistent in temperature

If some rooms in your space are consistently hotter or colder than others, it may be a sign that there is an issue with the airflow. Dirty vents and components can block proper air distribution, leading to temperature inconsistencies.


7. The air coming from your vents feels weak

If the air coming from your vents doesn't feel strong, it could be a sign that dirt and dust buildup is blocking proper airflow. A professional cleaning can help restore the strength of the air coming from your vents.


8. Your HVAC system is more than seven years old

Regular cleanings and inspections are important for the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system. If your system is more than seven years old, it's especially important to schedule a cleaning and inspection.


9. Your allergies or asthma symptoms seem to worsen when at home or in the office

Poor air quality can aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms. Dirty vents and HVAC components can contribute to poor air quality, leading to worsened symptoms. A professional cleaning can improve the air quality in your home or business.


10. It's been more than a year since your last cleaning and inspection

If it has been longer than a year since your last duct cleaning or inspection, there could potentially be issues you are not aware of. Regular cleanings and inspections can help prevent problems from arising or worsening.


Even if you aren't experiencing any of the warning signs listed above, it's important to schedule regular cleanings and inspections for your HVAC system. The frequency in which these should be done can vary based on factors such as the environment and usage of the system, but as a general rule of thumb, every one to two years is recommended.


If do you notice any of these warning signs, its time to call your
Salt Lake City duct cleaning and inspection specialists to schedule an appointment. Stay safe and breathe easy with a clean HVAC system.
