FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my home's HVAC system?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants accumulate inside your ductwork. This buildup restricts airflow, forces your HVAC equipment to work harder, and circulates allergens throughout the house. Professional duct cleaning removes these pollutants, helping your system run more efficiently, lowering energy consumption, extending equipment life, and creating a healthier indoor environment for your family.
How often should ductwork be cleaned in Deer Lodge’s climate?
For most homes in Deer Lodge, we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service more frequently if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies or asthma, recent renovations that generated dust, or if you burn wood or pellets for heat. Our technicians can assess your specific conditions and suggest a schedule that keeps your ducts—and the air you breathe—clean.
What signs indicate that my air ducts need professional cleaning?
Common warning signs include: visible dust puffs coming from registers when the system starts, musty or stale odors that persist, inconsistent airflow from room to room, an unexplained increase in utility bills, excessive dust settling on surfaces soon after cleaning, or recent pest infestations. If you notice any of these issues, scheduling a duct inspection is a smart first step.
What is included in your Deer Lodge duct cleaning service and how long does it take?
Our certified team follows National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards. We start with a camera inspection to document conditions inside the ducts, then seal each register and use a powerful truck-mounted vacuum to place the entire system under negative pressure. Agitation tools—rotary brushes, air whips, and skipper balls—dislodge debris, which the vacuum removes. We also clean supply and return trunks, registers, grilles, the blower compartment, evaporator coil housing, and change the filter. The average home takes 3–5 hours, but large or heavily soiled systems may require additional time.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. Obstructed ducts impede airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to run longer to achieve set temperatures. After cleaning, air moves freely, reducing run-times and cutting energy use by up to 20 %. Removing dust, mold spores, and allergens from the duct walls also means fewer particles recirculate into your living spaces, which can relieve allergy symptoms, reduce household dusting, and create a fresher, cleaner environment.
Is your duct cleaning process safe for my family, pets, and HVAC equipment?
Absolutely. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns, preventing contaminants from re-entering your home. Our agitation tools are designed for metal and flexible ductwork and will not damage liners or insulation. If we apply EPA-registered sanitizers (optional), they are low-odor, non-toxic, and safe once dry—ideal for households with children, elderly residents, or pets. We also protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths and corner guards, leaving your home as clean as we found it.
