Have you noticed a lot more coughing, sneezing and runny noses lately? Sure allergy season is upon us, but what about when you’re inside; are you still having the same symptoms? Dealing with allergies is a real pain for anyone who has them, but when you don’t get a break from the symptoms even while you’re inside they can be especially hard to live with.

One of the problems people with allergies have, but that they are often unaware of, is the fact that they are living with dirty ducts. So what should you do if you are living with dirty air ducts? According to many experts, it’s a good idea to get your air ducts cleaned every three to five years. This can help cut down on the mold, mildew, dust and other debris that builds up in your air ducts.

Air ducts are easy to overlook but over time the filth can add up. So the first thing you should do if you don’t know the last time your ducts were cleaned is to contact an air duct cleaning company to have them checked out. If they do need to be cleaned, this service can make a big difference in your home and with your allergy symptoms.

After you’ve had you ducts cleaned, it’s a really good idea to clean or change your filters regularly. Another thing to keep your eye on are the registers and intake vents. Keeping these clean will also help. If you need a reputable air duct cleaning company to visit your Portland or Vancouver area home, then click here.
