FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned?
Over time dust, pet dander, pollen, construction debris, and even mold spores can accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork. When the system cycles on, these contaminants are circulated throughout your Blaine home, aggravating allergies and reducing indoor air quality. Professional duct cleaning removes the buildup, helping your heating and cooling equipment run more efficiently while creating a cleaner, healthier living environment.
How often should ductwork be cleaned in Blaine’s climate?
For most homes in Blaine we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Our region’s mix of humid summers and frigid winters means HVAC systems run almost year-round, pulling more airborne particles into the ducts. Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, recent remodeling projects, or residents who smoke may benefit from cleaning every 2 years. We’re happy to inspect your ductwork and suggest a schedule tailored to your household.
What are the signs my HVAC ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust blowing from the supply vents, dark buildup around vent grilles, musty or stale odors when the system starts, unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups, and higher-than-normal utility bills. If you’ve noticed excess dust accumulation on furniture shortly after cleaning or you’ve had rodents or insects in the ductwork, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
What does your duct cleaning process involve?
1. Inspection – We use high-resolution cameras to assess the condition of your ducts and identify any problem areas. 2. Containment – Drop cloths, boot covers, and protective barriers keep your home clean. 3. Negative-pressure vacuum – A powerful HEPA-filtered vacuum is attached to the main trunk line to capture loosened debris. 4. Agitation – Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge dust, pet hair, and other contaminants from the duct walls. 5. Sanitizing – Upon request, we apply an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment to inhibit mold and bacteria growth. 6. Final walkthrough – We show you before-and-after photos so you can see the results and answer any remaining questions.
Will duct cleaning improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Even a thin layer of dust can reduce airflow and make your furnace or air conditioner work harder, increasing energy consumption. By removing buildup, we help restore optimal airflow, often lowering energy bills by 5–15 percent. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer airborne particles circulating through your home, which can reduce allergy symptoms, diminish odors, and extend the life of your HVAC filters and equipment.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and what should I do to prepare?
Most single-family homes in Blaine take 2–4 hours to complete, depending on square footage, number of vents, and the level of contamination. Prior to our arrival, please clear a path to all supply and return vents and move fragile items away from areas where we’ll be working. Make sure pets are secured for their safety. We handle the rest, including protecting floors and furniture. After we’re finished, you can resume normal use of your heating or cooling system immediately.
