Pre-Fall Duct Maintenance for Allergy Relief
Target seasonal triggers with fall-specific cleaning tips for Wisconsin homes
Why Fall Allergies Are Different
Spring often gets the blame for allergies, but fall in Wisconsin brings its own set of triggers. Ragweed pollen, mold spores from damp leaves, and dust stirred up as furnaces kick back on can all aggravate sinuses. For many homeowners, the start of heating season also means months of recirculated indoor air — making clean ducts more important than ever.
How Dirty Ducts Affect Allergies
Air ducts act like the respiratory system of your home. Over time, dust, dander, and allergens accumulate inside, and when the furnace turns on in the fall:
- Particles get blown into living spaces.
- Mold spores thrive in damp, dirty ducts.
- Allergens circulate continuously, worsening symptoms.
Routine maintenance helps ensure that what flows through your vents is fresh, clean air — not a cocktail of irritants.
Fall-Specific Cleaning Tips
To prepare for Wisconsin’s heating season, consider these steps:
- Schedule a Professional Duct Cleaning: Before your furnace runs daily, a deep clean removes built-up dust and allergens.
- Change Filters Regularly: High-efficiency filters trap pollen, pet dander, and mold spores better than basic fiberglass ones. Replace at least every 2–3 months.
- Check for Moisture Issues: Damp ducts can harbor mold. Inspect for leaks or condensation, especially after a humid summer.
- Clear Vents and Returns: Vacuum around grilles, registers, and returns to reduce surface-level buildup before the system circulates it.

Pre-fall duct maintenance does more than reduce allergies:
