Baseline cadence
Every 3–5 years works for most NJ homes with no pets and no allergies.
When to do it more often
Bump to every 2–3 years if any of the following apply:
- Pets that shed
- Anyone with asthma or seasonal allergies
- Recent renovation, drywall, or sanding work
- Smokers in the home
One-time triggers
Always clean ducts after buying a home, after water damage, and any time you smell mustiness from vents.
