FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Athens?
Athens experiences hot, humid summers and high pollen counts in spring, which can cause dust, mold spores, and allergens to accumulate inside HVAC ductwork. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your heating and air-conditioning system circulate cleaner air, improve energy efficiency, reduce allergy symptoms, and extend the life of your HVAC components.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
Most industry guidelines recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, Athens homeowners may need more frequent service if they have pets that shed, household members with allergies or respiratory issues, recent renovations, or notice visible mold growth or excessive dust around vents.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include musty or dusty odors when the HVAC system runs, visible dust puffs from supply registers, mold or mildew around vents, unexplained allergy flare-ups, uneven airflow, and higher energy bills. If you see any of these, scheduling an inspection can confirm whether cleaning is needed.
What does the duct-cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians start with a camera inspection, then seal off the system to create negative pressure with a high-power vacuum. We agitate and dislodge debris using rotary brushes and air whips, collect contaminants in HEPA-filtered vacuums, and finish by cleaning the blower, coils, and registers. Upon request, we can apply an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment to inhibit future microbial growth.
Will duct cleaning help reduce my utility bills?
Yes. Clean ducts allow air to flow freely, enabling your HVAC system to reach the set temperature faster and cycle less often. Studies show that removing heavy dust and debris can improve system efficiency by up to 20%, which translates into noticeable energy savings, especially during Athens’ peak cooling and heating seasons.
Is duct cleaning safe for older HVAC systems?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard negative-pressure equipment and soft-bristle brushes designed not to damage ductwork, even in older metal or flexible ducts. Before starting, we perform a detailed inspection to identify any weak sections or leaks and make recommendations for repairs if needed, ensuring the cleaning process enhances—not harms—your existing system.
