The Invisible Buildup in Rancho Santa Margarita Homes
Open one of your vent registers and look inside. That dark coating is years of accumulated dust, dead skin cells, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and worse. Now multiply that by every linear foot of air duct system — typically 100-300 feet for an average Rancho Santa Margarita residence. Your HVAC pushes air through all of it every single day. In California’s dry-summer coastal conditions where wildfire smoke and seasonal allergens is ongoing, this buildup is more aggressive than in milder climates.
