Over time, debris and dirt can accumulate in the ducting system of your home. Although you can not see them without a close inspection, you can feel them in the air. If the air in your home feels dry and dusty, it may mean that the vents and ducts have to be cleaned. You can always take a flashlight and look at the inside of the ducts to see for yourself.
