FAQs

Why is air duct cleaning important for homes in Alcoa?

Alcoa’s fluctuating weather and high humidity can lead to a buildup of dust, mold, and other allergens in your ductwork. By regularly cleaning your air ducts, you help maintain better indoor air quality, increase energy efficiency, and prevent issues like mold or bacterial growth. This not only keeps your heating and cooling systems running smoothly but also contributes to a healthier living environment.

How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?

In most Alcoa homes, duct cleaning is recommended every three to five years. However, homes with pets, smokers, or people with respiratory sensitivities may require more frequent cleaning. Additionally, if you notice an unusual amount of dust around vents or experience musty odors, it’s a good idea to contact a professional for a thorough inspection and cleaning.

What does the duct cleaning process involve?

Professional duct cleaning typically starts with an inspection using specialized cameras or tools to assess the condition of your ducts. Next, a powerful vacuum system and brushes or air whips are used to dislodge and remove dust, debris, and other contaminants. The final step may include sanitizing the ductwork to eliminate any remaining bacteria, mold, or odors. This process helps ensure the duct system is thoroughly cleaned, improving air quality and system efficiency.

Will cleaning my air ducts improve energy efficiency?

Yes. When your ducts are clean, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to circulate air throughout your home. This can reduce energy consumption and potentially lower utility bills. Clean air ducts also help your heating and cooling equipment to perform at peak efficiency, which may extend their lifespan and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs.

How can I tell if my air ducts need to be cleaned?

Common indicators include excessive dust on surfaces, a noticeable musty or stale odor, and weak airflow from your registers. You might also see visible debris or dust buildup on vent covers or inside the ducts. If anyone in your household has unexplained allergies or respiratory problems that worsen when the system is running, it could also be a sign that your ducts need cleaning.

Can I do anything to maintain cleaner ducts between professional cleanings?

Yes. Regularly changing your HVAC filters is one of the best ways to keep debris out of your ducts. You can also schedule routine maintenance for your heating and cooling system to ensure it runs efficiently. Keeping vents and registers free from obstructions, vacuuming around them to remove dust, and sealing any leaks in your ductwork will all help maintain a cleaner and healthier system between professional cleanings.

What our customers say

Nathan was very kind and helpful. My problem was that my chickens had slung dirt all in the unit and it couldn’t get air flow, the coils where CAKED so of course it froze up. I think some people would’ve chuckled at me or at least made a “you idiot” face on some level, which I deserved, but he didn’t. He was very respectful and showed me everything to do about it in detail and when he left I was well versed. Very professional, A+

Great personal interest in my situation and the solution to the problem. Rick, Will and Chris looked for the best HVAC system at the best price and backed it up with the best warranty. Top of the line quality Carrier! Thanks for the HEP! The sales guy, Rick Lounders, really knows his stuff. I worked in HVAC a while ago and he set me right on a couple of my ideas that would have been very wrong moves. I bought top of the line Carrier heat pumps and a very pleased. Also, the installers, Eddie Hawkins and Tim Sexton, and another guy - forget his name) were very sharp and the finish job looks VERY professional! They answered every question, showed me how everything worked, and cleaned up every scrap. They even wore booties to keep from getting leaves in the house - my wife was all about that. Use me as a reference or display job anytime! Thanks to Chris, too, for helping with the deal. Those Reme Halo UV lights are great. Kevin Stevens did a quick service call for a blown fuse, 4/4 - I was happy with the speed of response & checked everything over in detail. Very nice!

Will C. came out the same day I called for a quote to repair my damaged dryer vent that was blowing lint into my crawl space, then Joe and Dart came the following day to actually do the work. It was done promptly and just as discussed and should last a very long time. I was very happy with the work done by all.

I didn't expect the damaged ductwork in our house to be replaced a day ahead of when we we originally anticipated, but it was. The HVAC technicians were at our house that morning and we're complete by the time I arrived home from work around 6. The gentlemen thoroughly explained the work to me, provided suggestions about how to thwart the issue from happening again, and ensured that I had a clear receipt of payment. They were total professionals and I appreciate their help in allowing us to enjoy our home after a long day of work without sweltering and running every box fan we own. I'm very happy with them and in particular appreciate the crew's dedication to service. Y'all are great.

I appreciate Jacob Newman coming out and evaluating damage to supply ductwork caused by raccoon(s) in our attic earlier this month. He explained what he saw and offered a few solutions. Jacob also helped fitting the project into our budget and schedule.
