To cut maintenance expenses while keeping vent quality high, start by selecting durable materials like metal or sealed-treated wood, which need less upkeep over time.

Adding simple filters or screens helps block hair and debris, reducing the need for deep cleaning. Establish a routine cleaning schedule—vacuum or dust weekly and remove vents for a seasonal wash with soap and water. Protect vents from moisture and spills, and invest in quality upfront to avoid frequent repairs or replacements.
