If your AC is running but dust keeps settling on furniture and surfaces, your cooling system may not be addressing the source of the problem. Dirty or ineffective filtration, duct leaks, and airborne particles entering your HVAC system can all contribute to a dusty home.

For homeowners in Prescott Valley and Yavapai County, identifying how dust is entering and circulating through the home can help determine which indoor air quality solution is appropriate.

Why Isn’t My AC Getting Rid of the Dust?

Your AC is designed primarily to keep your home comfortable, not eliminate every airborne particle. The HVAC filter can capture some dust as air circulates through the system, but filtration alone may not resolve persistent indoor dust.

Signs that dust or other airborne particles may be affecting your indoor air quality include:
  • Dust returning quickly after surfaces are cleaned
  • Visible dust around supply or return vents
  • Unusually dusty rooms or areas of your home
  • Dust particles becoming visible when sunlight enters a room
  • Musty or stale odors while the HVAC system is running

A dirty filter, poor filter fit, duct leakage, and outdoor particles entering the home can all contribute to these problems.

Could Leaky Ductwork Be Making Your Home Dustier?

Leaky ductwork can contribute to poor indoor air quality by allowing dust and other pollutants to enter the duct system. Those particles can then circulate into your living spaces whenever your HVAC system operates.

Moyer’s Heating & Cooling Inc. offers Aeroseal duct sealing to address duct leakage and help prevent dust and pollutants from being pulled into living areas.

How Does Aeroseal Duct Sealing Help?

Aeroseal is a duct sealing technology that addresses leaks from inside the duct system, including leaks in ductwork hidden behind walls. The process uses pressurized polymer particles that collect around leak edges and seal the openings.

By sealing these gaps, Aeroseal can help prevent dust, mold, and other pollutants from being pulled into your ductwork and circulated through your living spaces. Moyer’s Heating & Cooling Inc. offers Aeroseal duct sealing for homeowners who want to address duct leakage and improve indoor air quality.
