FAQs

Why is duct cleaning important for homes in Chattanooga?

Over time, dust, pollen, and other airborne particles can accumulate inside your ductwork. In Chattanooga, where humidity levels can be high, this can lead to clogged ducts and potentially mold growth. Regular cleaning improves indoor air quality, helps your HVAC system run efficiently, and reduces allergens in your living space.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

Most HVAC professionals recommend cleaning your ductwork every 3 to 5 years, but homes with pets, smokers, or residents with allergies may benefit from more frequent service. Chattanooga’s seasonal humidity and pollen counts can also accelerate buildup, so scheduling periodic inspections can determine when it’s time for a cleaning.

What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?

Common indicators include persistent dust on surfaces, unpleasant odors coming from vents, uneven air flow in certain rooms, an unexplained spike in energy bills, or visible dirt and debris around vent covers. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to schedule duct cleaning.

Will duct cleaning help reduce allergies and improve air quality?

Yes. Removing accumulated pollutants like dust, pet dander, and mold spores from your duct system can lead to cleaner indoor air. Improved air quality can ease allergy and asthma symptoms, create a healthier environment, and provide overall comfort for you and your family.

How long does a typical duct cleaning service take?

For most average-sized homes, a comprehensive duct cleaning usually takes between 2 to 4 hours. The exact timing depends on the size of your home, the complexity of the duct system, and how extensive the buildup is. In some cases, it may take longer, particularly if additional HVAC maintenance is needed.

Does duct cleaning affect my HVAC system’s efficiency?

Absolutely. Clean ductwork allows air to flow more freely, reducing strain on your HVAC system. This can help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, potentially lower energy bills, and extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling equipment.

What our customers say

Update: In just a couple of days after agreeing to the install, the crew came out and installed both upstairs and downstairs units along with redoing some duct work, all within 1 day! Very neat install was completed! There were a couple of open items that were missed, but they have now finished those up and it looks great. Quoted new heat/air system. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will be using Hep to install in the near future!

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.

Purple I.

I cannot say enough good things about the HVAC crew at HEP. Glenn, Travis, Chino, Trevor, Jeff, and Damien worked late into the night to get our new heat pump installed and our old duct work replaced. They went above and beyond what I thought a company would do to get our heat working and prevent us from experiencing a very cold morning. A big THANK YOU to all of these guys!

Don K.

They did an excellent job very professional. They were also helpful in retrieving a highly emotional valued piece of Jewelry for me that had fell into one of the vents. I would gladly and highly recommend Hep to anyone who has a need of work.
