FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Blaine?
Blaine’s mix of cold, snowy winters and pollen-filled summers means your ductwork can trap dust, pet dander, mold spores, and construction debris year-round. A professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping reduce allergy symptoms, improving furnace and A/C efficiency, and extending system life. It also cuts down on musty or smoky odors that can linger in tightly sealed Minnesota homes.
How often does Precision Techniques recommend duct cleaning?
For most Blaine households, we suggest a full cleaning every 3–5 years. However, homes with smokers, pets that shed, recent remodeling projects, or residents with asthma may benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. After any major hail or storm damage that required duct repairs, a follow-up cleaning is also wise to remove drywall dust and insulation fibers.
What warning signs indicate my ducts need service now?
Common red flags include visible dust blowing from registers, a musty or “dirty sock” smell when the HVAC starts, uneven airflow between rooms, unexplained spikes in energy bills, frequent filter clogging, or allergy flare-ups that improve when you leave the house. If you see dark streaks around supply vents or hear rattling from debris in the ducts, schedule an inspection right away.
What does Precision Techniques’ duct cleaning process involve?
1) We begin with a camera inspection to spot blockages, mold, or leaks. 2) High-powered negative-air vacuums create suction while rotary brushes dislodge debris from all trunk lines and branches. 3) Registers, grilles, and the air handler are hand-cleaned, and the blower, evaporator coil, and drain pan are checked. 4) We apply an EPA-registered sanitizer (optional) safe for children and pets. 5) A post-cleaning video ensures every run is spotless, and we leave you with before-and-after photos for your records.
Will duct cleaning really lower my energy bills?
Yes. The EPA finds that dirt and debris can reduce HVAC efficiency by up to 21%. By clearing airflow obstructions, your blower motor doesn’t work as hard and conditioned air reaches each room faster. Customers in Blaine typically see 5–15% savings on seasonal heating and cooling costs after a thorough cleaning and filter upgrade.
How long does the service take and do I need to leave my home?
Most single-family homes in Blaine take 2–4 hours, depending on duct length and soil level. You can stay home; our negative-air machines keep dust contained, and we use drop cloths and boot covers to protect flooring. We’ll need access to every register and the furnace room, so please secure pets and clear small furniture from vent areas before we arrive.
