FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my Greenback home?
Greenback’s warm, humid summers and pollen-rich springs can cause dust, mold spores, and allergens to accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork. When your system runs, these contaminants are circulated through every room, affecting indoor air quality, aggravating allergies, and coating HVAC components with debris. A professional cleaning removes this buildup, helping your family breathe easier and protecting your furnace and air-conditioning equipment from unnecessary wear.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my heating and air conditioning system?
For most Greenback households, we recommend a comprehensive duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed a remodeling project, noticed visible dust blowing from vents, have pets that shed heavily, or live with allergy sufferers or smokers. Annual HVAC inspections allow us to assess duct cleanliness and suggest the best timeline for your specific conditions.
What are the signs that my air ducts need to be cleaned?
Common indicators include: (1) musty or dusty odors whenever the HVAC system runs; (2) visible dust puffs or black streaks at supply registers; (3) increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors; (4) inconsistent airflow or temperature between rooms; (5) a recent mouse, insect, or mold problem inside the ductwork; and (6) excessive dust buildup on furniture shortly after cleaning. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection.
What does your Greenback duct cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified team begins with a camera inspection to document duct conditions. We then connect a high-powered negative-air vacuum to create continuous suction while using rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris from every supply and return run, trunk line, and branch. We clean or replace filters, sanitize accessible plenums with an EPA-registered disinfectant, and re-seal access panels. Before leaving, we provide before-and-after photos and a written report for your records.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills or improve HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Dust and lint layers restrict airflow, forcing blowers and compressors to work harder. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that removing heavy duct buildup can improve system efficiency by up to 20 %. Cleaner coils and motors also last longer, reducing repair costs. While savings vary by home and usage, most Greenback customers notice improved comfort at lower thermostat settings after a thorough cleaning.
Is the duct cleaning process safe for my family and pets, and how long does it take?
Absolutely. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97 % of particles, preventing contaminants from re-entering your living space. Our biodegradable sanitizers leave no harsh chemical residue, and we place protective floor coverings at every work area. A typical single-system Greenback home takes 3–5 hours to complete, and you can remain in the house the entire time. We’ll review safety protocols beforehand and answer any questions you have.
