What Coweta County's weather leaves in your ducts
Coweta County has logged 174 damaging wind events over the past ten years, along with 2 winter storms. Wind like that pushes dust and debris in through vents and around loose duct connections, and it settles in the runs behind your walls.
Your furnace only needs to run from November through March here, but those five months push whatever is sitting in the ducts through every room in the house. On winter nights averaging 35°F, the system cycles on and off often, and each cycle stirs that buildup loose again.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- Most homes do fine with duct cleaning every few years rather than on any fixed schedule. If anyone in the house has allergies, or you've had work done that stirred up dust like an insulation job or a renovation, do it sooner. Homes with pets or a recent water issue in the attic or crawlspace should also move that timeline up.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it when there's a real reason behind it, not just as a routine service. If you're seeing dust coming out of the vents, noticing a musty smell when the system runs, or dealing with allergy symptoms that ease up when you leave the house, cleaning the ducts can address that. It won't lower your heating bill or make the furnace run better if the ducts aren't actually dirty, so a contractor should look first before you commit to it.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to the ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to knock loose dust and debris from inside the duct walls, then pulls it out through the vacuum. They'll also check the supply and return vents, and often the coil and blower compartment, since dirt in those spots moves through the same air the ducts carry. The job covers the full duct run, not just what's visible at the vent covers.
