What our customers say

Had a catastrophic fail of our main AC unit and boy was it a hot day. Jacob Newman came out to our rural location in under 24 hours, was extremely knowledgeable, got us fixed up with a new unit (our 20 year old freon system was unrepairable), and he even went above and beyond and checked our crawlspace, ducts, and our other systems while he was out here. Fantastic service from a very respectful young man. HEP will be our first call from here on out.

Jacob P.

Brian and Doug were wonderful technicians. They worked so hard and got all of my duct work replaced. They were very kind and respectful men. A+ job.

Grace A.

Rob C. was super informative and super helpful when my AC unit wasn’t cooling my house. He helped recommend a couple of fixes - one was an immediate solution and one was a long term solution (more freon and new copper pipes) to keep my unit working longer/better (cleaning ducts). Hope I see him again if my HVAC unit messes up - (but I hope it doesn’t mess up any time soon, lol). 10/10 recommend. 😃

Kira B.

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.

Geoff W.

Jacob Newman was very professional and knowledgeable in his presentation of the duct cleaning processes. We have not signed up yet due to multiple work still being done on our home. When finished he will be given every consideration for the job. Thanks for the prompt response.

Robert H.

Jordan, Abbi were great at getting the duct work for my HVAC system done. They were on time and left everything in clean condition and the system works great.

Sydney C.

Today we got a new TRANE A/C installed at our home. I am very happy with the guys (Tommy and his colleague) who worked on it. They installed the unit and inspected the ducts, filter etc. I find the folks very friendly and dedicated to the work. Although a warranty exists, hope I don't need to call them soon.

Amit N.

Christian Jordan came out, looked at my ductwork and gave us a quote and we looked into the financing. Great customer service.

Owen’s A.

Kori S.

Jacob Newman did an excellent job for HEP today! He answered all my questions, made very reasonable recommendations, got several discounts, and therefore made the sale. Looking forward to the ductwork rehab!

FAQs

Why is duct cleaning important in Gatlinburg?

Duct cleaning helps maintain healthy indoor air quality by reducing allergens, dust, and contaminants. In Gatlinburg’s humid climate, clean ducts also help prevent mold growth, which can negatively impact both your health and your HVAC system's efficiency.

How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?

Generally, it’s recommended every 3 to 5 years. However, factors such as recent renovations, pets in the home, seasonal allergies, or if you notice dust build-up around vents can warrant more frequent cleanings.

What are common signs that it’s time for duct cleaning?

Signs include visible dust on vents, unusual musty or stale odors, increased allergy symptoms among occupants, and reduced airflow from registers. Seeing debris or dust buildup inside the ducts is another clear indication it’s time for a cleaning.

Will duct cleaning help reduce my energy bills?

Yes, cleaning your ducts can improve airflow and allow your HVAC system to run more efficiently. When air can move freely, your system doesn’t have to work as hard, which can potentially lower energy consumption and reduce utility costs.

How is duct cleaning performed?

Duct cleaning technicians use specialized equipment like high-powered vacuums and brushes to dislodge and remove debris from your ductwork. They may also inspect for leaks or damages in the system and seal them, ensuring that the ducts remain in good condition.

Can clean ducts improve overall indoor air quality?

Absolutely. Regular duct cleaning can significantly reduce the presence of pollutants such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. This leads to fresher indoor air and can help minimize respiratory issues, asthma triggers, and other allergy-related problems.
