FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my HVAC system’s performance?
Over time, dust, pet dander, pollen, and other contaminants collect inside your ductwork. As debris builds up, airflow is restricted and your heating or cooling equipment has to work harder to push conditioned air through the system. This added strain can shorten equipment life, raise energy bills, and reduce overall comfort. A thorough duct cleaning removes those blockages, restores full airflow, and allows your furnace or air conditioner to operate at peak efficiency.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my Jamestown home or business?
Most national standards recommend cleaning ducts every 3–5 years, but Jamestown’s mix of long winters and humid summers can accelerate dust and microbial growth. If you have pets, recent renovations, allergy sufferers, or notice visible dust on supply registers, we suggest an inspection every 2–3 years. Our technicians can assess your system and give personalized recommendations.
What are the common signs that my ducts need cleaning?
Warning indicators include: visible dust blasts or dark streaks around supply vents; musty or burning odors when the HVAC system runs; inconsistent temperatures or weak airflow in certain rooms; a recent spike in utility bills without changes in usage; and increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors. If you experience any of these, a professional duct evaluation is advisable.
What steps are involved in System Performance’s duct-cleaning service?
1) Pre-inspection: We use cameras to document interior duct conditions. 2) System protection: Drop cloths and register covers safeguard your floors and furnishings. 3) Negative-pressure setup: A high-capacity HEPA vacuum is connected to your trunk line to pull debris out safely. 4) Agitation: Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge stubborn buildup from walls of the ductwork. 5) Source removal: Contaminants are extracted directly into the sealed vacuum unit. 6) Optional sanitizing: We can apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog to neutralize mold and bacteria. 7) Post-inspection & report: You receive before-and-after images and system performance notes.
Can duct cleaning really lower my energy bills?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25–40% of the energy used for heating and cooling is wasted due to contaminants that force systems to run longer. By clearing blockages and improving airflow, your furnace or AC cycles less often, which can reduce utility costs by 5–15%. Cleaner ducts also help protect the blower motor and coils from dust accumulation, preserving equipment efficiency long-term.
How long does a typical duct cleaning take and will it disrupt my day?
A standard single-family home in Jamestown typically takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or commercial spaces may require additional time. We schedule appointments around your convenience, and because the system is under negative pressure, there is minimal mess or dust release into living areas. You can stay in the building during the service, and your HVAC system can usually be restarted immediately afterward.
