Duct cleaning has a reputation problem — aggressive phone scams gave it one. But legitimate duct cleaning, done at the right time, makes a real difference to air quality and furnace efficiency. Here’s an honest guide for Mississauga homeowners.
When Duct Cleaning Is Worth It
- You’ve just finished a renovation — drywall dust in ducts recirculates for months.
- You’ve moved into a new-to-you home — you’re breathing the previous owner’s dust, dander and habits.
- Visible mould, pests or debris in vents or returns.
- Rooms heat and cool unevenly, or dust reappears within a day of cleaning.
- It’s been 3–5 years — the typical interval for a family home.
When to Book It
The smart window is late summer and early fall, before your furnace starts running daily. Clean ducts before heating season means you’re not blowing a summer’s worth of accumulated dust through the house in October — and you’ll beat the seasonal rush.
What a Proper Job Looks Like
A legitimate duct cleaning covers all supply and return ducts, the main trunk lines, and vent covers, using negative-pressure equipment — not a shop vac at the register. Ask any company what’s included before booking; a real quote lists the vent count, not just a too-good-to-be-true flat price.
