Being able to see if your air vents are dirty, is an easy task. Opening the vent covers to check and look for any dirt, dust or debris will obviously determine if your air vents and air filter is clogged. The next step in determining whether to call a professional, would be to check your heating system. For this, you will need to check the blower blades and heat exchanger surface to see if there is also any dirt and debris. The final step in checking your complete HVAC system for cleanliness is to look at your air conditioner. You can simply shine a flashlight through the coils to see if light is coming out of the other side. The coils should also be straight and evenly spaced to ensure no damage. Lastly, the coil pan should be draining completely to verify it is clean and healthy.
