Why dust comes out of your vents
The short answer
Dust usually comes out of your vents because air is getting around the filter: a filter that is the wrong size or not seated properly lets room dust slip past it. In older homes, gaps or loose duct joins can also pull in dust from the roof space.
7 days a week. No call-out fee, and you pay after the job.
Key points
- The return-air grille pulls in room dust, pet hair and lint every time the system runs.
- The filter should catch it, but a wrong-sized or badly seated filter lets air slip around it.
- Gaps or loose joins in older ducts can draw dust in from the roof space.
- A proper duct clean removes the build-up inside the ducts and checks the filter and joins.
