EPA does not recommend duct cleaning on a fixed schedule. It suggests cleaning when there is substantial visible mold, vermin, or heavy dust and debris coming out of the registers. Duct sealing is a separate job that fixes leaks. Climate Pros Tucson matches you with a licensed local pro, which inspects first and quotes the scope.
Cleaning removes what is inside the ducts. Sealing closes the leaks in them. When ducts run through a hot attic or connect to a rooftop unit at the curb, torn joints and loose connections there leak conditioned air. Weak airflow in some rooms points to leaks or balance problems, and cleaning does not fix those.

EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning on a fixed schedule. Clean when there is substantial visible mold, vermin, or excessive dust and debris coming from the registers. A dusty Tucson climate is a reason to change filters often, not by itself a reason to clean ducts.
EPA says duct cleaning has never been shown to prevent health problems, and there is little evidence that cleaning alone improves efficiency. Sealing is what addresses leaks. Clean for a specific cause, and ask what the pro saw that supports it.
ENERGY STAR estimates a typical forced-air house loses about 20 to 30 percent of the air moving through its ducts to leaks, holes and poor connections. That is a national figure, not a measured Tucson result. Testing shows what your ducts actually lose.
