Title:
Air Duct Cleaning — Before & After Inside HVAC System

Post:
Pulled apart this air handler during a duct cleaning today and found heavy buildup inside the system. A lot of homeowners don’t realize dust, insulation particles, pet hair, and debris slowly collect inside the blower compartment and ductwork over the years.

When airflow starts dropping, rooms get dusty faster, or allergies feel worse, this is usually part of the reason. Keeping the blower, evaporator area, and duct system clean can help airflow and overall HVAC performance.

We also noticed the return side was pulling more debris than normal, so we’re checking for small air leaks around the return duct connections and filter area.

Anyone else seeing systems this dirty lately? Especially in apartments or older homes?
