But if you ever have any allergy issues I would def get that cleaned. I would probably do it in a year or two though at least. If you catch a l/s deal it's really not bad. The deal now locally is $47 to clean ten ducts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889636 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:38:45 +0000 ShootingStar 889636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: New, it's 3 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889631 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:37:50 +0000 regberadaisy 889631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: depends. Do you have a old home or new? A lot of dust and allergens collect in the duct work. We're going ot clean some ourselves but the pros have equipment to get to ducts that we can't manually get to. It's suppose to help your system run more efficiently as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889627 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:36:33 +0000 ShootingStar 889627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our heat and AC come out of the same ducts. I never thought to clean them. Is it necessary? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889617 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:34:35 +0000 lindseykaye 889617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I never actually have a season where our AC is turned off for a prolonged amount of time. This past winter we had the AC on for various weekends in between cold fronts the whole time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889593 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:29:21 +0000 Running Elley 889593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do now!!! Last year was our first year in this house and we didn't have them cleaned. Then our AC broke down because they were clogged. So we had them cleaned plus a checkup service call this year :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889588 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:28:05 +0000 MapleMoose 889588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Lol, it just worked out that we got a deal similar to yours around the closing. We really aren't that on our game :happy: . But seems like everyone who got the deal scheduled right away so definitely don't wait to book it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889550 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:20:50 +0000 Alivoo01 889550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I did have them cleaned last year though. I should probably have them cleaned yearly since I could immediately tell the difference after the ducts were cleaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889539 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:19:18 +0000 regberadaisy 889539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: wow - I better get on it ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889535 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:18:46 +0000 mediagirl 889535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Bought our house new 6 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889527 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:17:36 +0000 MapleMoose 889527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought this house and scheduled air duct &amp; dryer vent cleaning... but they couldn't get to us for several weeks and we just had a heat wave so we ended up using the central air before the cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889472 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:08:04 +0000 Dandelion 889472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...we rent, lol.</p> <p>But I'll remember that for when we buy a house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-turned-on-the-ac#post-889464 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:07:06 +0000 regberadaisy 889464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>did you have your ducts cleaned?</p> <p>First summer we're living in the new house plus house renovations. So we're def having the ducts cleaned before turning on the AC!</p> <p>There's a living social deal currently so plan to take advantage of that! </p>
