Brandon Kirk is the owner of Planet Duct-Air Duct Cleaning. As a NADCA Certified Air-Duct Cleaning Specialist, he has extensive experience servicing air ducts in El Paso County and the Southern CO region since 2019.

Keeping your home clean is important, but if you’re constantly dusting and still seeing buildup, you’re likely wondering, “Why is there so much dust in my house?” Excessive dust is more than just an annoyance. It’s often a sign that your air ducts are dirty and circulating debris throughout your home.

At Planet Duct, we specialize in air duct cleaning in Colorado Springs, helping homeowners reduce indoor dust, improve air quality, and boost HVAC efficiency. When ductwork is filled with dust, pet dander, and allergens, it can lead to higher energy bills, respiratory irritation, and constant recirculation of particles.

If you’re ready to enjoy a cleaner, healthier home and cut down on daily dusting, it might be time to schedule your professional duct cleaning.

Why You’re Always Dusting

In this video, Brandon from Planet Duct explains how your HVAC system could be the root cause of dust that keeps coming back, no matter how often you clean.

Hey everybody, it’s Brandon over at Planet Duct | Air Duct Cleaning in Colorado Springs, and I want to talk to you today about dusting. Does it seem like every single day you do some dusting and then literally, an hour or two hours later, there’s another layer of dust where you’ve already dusted? If that’s the case, I mean, yeah you can keep dusting. Or, one thing you might really want to consider is go down to your furnace, check that filter, and start replacing that thing, and replace it more often.

I change mine every 30 days. Even though a lot of filters are rated to go 90 days, I do mine every 30 cause I want really good indoor air quality. If that’s still not helping, then, you might want to take a look at having your air duct system cleaned. If your returns and your registers are just full of dust, take a peak down there, see what’s going on, and yeah, if you’re seeing a bunch of debris in there, you might want to consider having your air ducts cleaned.

We can do that; we’ve got a powerful negative air system either with our hyper vac 220 portables, which we can roll basically right up to your furnace, or we can connect to the big duct truck outside and run the 8 inch hose in, and gets that breakaway suction that we need to get all that particulate out of your house. So, we’d be happy to help you with that.

If you’ve got questions, or you’d like us to just come take a look at your system; we don’t charge to look at it, we’re Planet Duct | Air Duct Cleaning in Colorado Springs. We serve everywhere from Pueblo to Highlands Ranch. Our number’s 719-728-5111, or you can check out our nerdy website at PlanetDuct.com. Thanks a lot, have a good day!

Common Reasons for Excessive Dust

If you find yourself dusting multiple times a week with little improvement, it’s likely due to:

  • Clogged or dirty air ducts
  • Old or rarely replaced furnace filters
  • Debris buildup in return vents and registers

Start by changing your air filter every 30–60 days. If dust still builds up quickly, it’s time for a professional duct cleaning.

Top 4 Benefits Of Air Duct Cleaning

1. Reduces Allergens and Irritants

Having your air ducts cleaned will dramatically reduce the amount of contaminants in the air, including that pesky dust you always see flying around! When you don’t remove these harmful particles, they keep recirculating throughout your home.

2. Cleaner Living Environment

Annoying dust particles can land on your furniture, floor, bedding, and just about anywhere else you can think of. A clean air duct system means a more hygienic home and less dusting for you.

3. Removes Unpleasant Odors

An accumulation of dust and dirt can lead to a musty smell whenever you run the heater or air conditioning. A professional air duct cleaning removes odor-trapping particles, resulting in a fresher home.

4. Improves HVAC Efficiency

When there’s a buildup of dust and grime in your ductwork, it causes your HVAC system to work harder to successfully heat or cool your home.
