If you’re the owner or manager of a commercial property, you likely have many different maintenance-related routines to keep track of. Compared to other building features, cleaning the air ducts may be simply out of sight, out of mind—and it can be difficult to recognize when they need cleaning.
‘How often do air ducts need to be cleaned, anyway?’ you might ask. The short answer is that most commercial buildings will need a professional air duct cleaning every 3-5 years.
However, there are lots of different factors that affect commercial ducts and how often you will need to clean them. Dust that is tracked or blown into the building, the presence of pets, and favorable places for dust mites can all lower air quality on the premises. Over time, buildup in the vents can become harmful to employees and guests.
