Sneezing indoors? It might be your ducts

It’s 90° outside. You walk in expecting a blast of cool air, and instead, you're hit with a wall of heat.

Do your allergies seem worse inside your home than outside?

Do you find yourself constantly sneezing, coughing, or dealing with itchy eyes—even when your windows are closed?

Your air ducts might be to blame.

At Duct Professor Heating & Cooling, we’ve seen it time and time again—dirty ductwork circulating dust, allergens, and pollutants through your home. If your HVAC system hasn’t had a proper duct cleaning in years (or ever), your indoor air quality could be making you sick.

Let’s break down how and why your ducts can trigger allergy-like symptoms—and what you can do to breathe easier.

What’s Hiding Inside Your Air Ducts?

Your air ducts act like the lungs of your home, circulating air from your heating and cooling system into every room. Over time, dust, pet dander, pollen, and other airborne debris build up inside those ducts, especially if:

  • Your home has pets
  • You recently did renovations
  • You’ve never had ducts cleaned
  • You live near trees, pollen, or heavy traffic areas
  • You’ve had moisture problems or mold issues

Without cleaning, all those contaminants get recirculated every time your HVAC system runs, leading to worsened indoor air quality.

Common Signs Your Ducts Need Cleaning

If you’re experiencing any of the following, your air ducts might be overdue for a professional cleaning:

  • Frequent sneezing, coughing, or allergy symptoms indoors
  • Musty odors coming from your vents
  • Dust buildup around vents or registers
  • Visible mold or mildew near duct openings
  • Inconsistent airflow or warm/cold spots

These symptoms are not just annoying—they can impact your health and the efficiency of your HVAC system.
