Do You Actually Need Duct Cleaning? An Honest Answer
When duct and dryer-vent cleaning genuinely helps — and when you're better off spending the money elsewhere.
Duct cleaning gets oversold. Here's when it's worth the call to Southern Comfort, and when it isn't.
Worth doing
After a remodel that created drywall dust. After a rodent or insect infestation. When you can see visible mold or buildup at the registers. When allergies in the home spike for no obvious reason. And every 3–5 years for the average central Florida home.
Dryer vent cleaning is non-negotiable
Unlike A/C ducts, dryer vent cleaning isn't optional — clogged vents are a leading cause of house fires and they crank up your power bill at the same time. We recommend cleaning once a year, more if you run heavy laundry.
