FAQs
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning in Calhoun’s climate?
In Calhoun’s hot, humid summers and pollen-heavy spring seasons, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. If you have pets that shed, family members with asthma or allergies, or have completed recent remodeling, cleaning every 2–3 years is wiser. Commercial buildings with higher occupancy or manufacturing dust may need annual service. Our technicians can inspect your system and suggest the ideal interval based on actual dust buildup rather than a one-size-fits-all timeline.
What warning signs tell me my HVAC ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include visible dust puffs from supply registers, musty or burned-dust odors whenever the furnace or AC starts, unusually high allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors, inconsistent airflow between rooms, and a noticeable layer of debris on the interior of vent covers. A sudden spike in energy bills or finding rodent or insect droppings in the ductwork are also clear indicators. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection—our Calhoun crew will use a video scope to confirm whether cleaning is needed.
What does your duct cleaning process involve, and how long will it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive in marked vans equipped with negative-air machines that place your duct system under strong HEPA-filtered vacuum. We remove every supply and return register, loosen interior debris with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips, and sanitize with an EPA-approved antimicrobial solution upon request. Finally, we re-seal access panels and run your HVAC to verify airflow. A typical 1,800–2,400 sq-ft home takes 2–4 hours; larger houses or systems with multiple air handlers can take up to a full day. You can remain in the home during the service.
Will duct cleaning actually improve indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. By extracting accumulated pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, cleaning dramatically reduces airborne irritants that recirculate through your living space. Customers often report easier breathing and less settling dust afterward. Removing obstructions from the duct walls also restores proper airflow, which means your blower motor works less to achieve the same temperature. Most homeowners see a 5–15 % drop in energy usage and reduced wear on components like the evaporator coil and furnace heat exchanger.
Are your Calhoun technicians qualified and insured for duct cleaning work?
Absolutely. Every member of our duct cleaning team holds certification from the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and completes annual continuing-education on the latest containment, disinfection, and safety standards. We carry full liability and workers-compensation insurance specific to HVAC and duct services in Georgia. Copies of certificates and proof of insurance are available upon request, and our technicians will gladly show their credentials when they arrive at your door.
How much does professional duct cleaning cost, and do you provide free estimates?
For most single-family homes in the Calhoun area, prices range from $375 to $625, depending on square footage, number of HVAC systems, and level of contamination. Larger residences, commercial buildings, or ductwork with mold remediation requirements may cost more. We offer no-obligation, on-site estimates at no charge. During the visit, we will inspect your ducts with a camera, explain findings in plain language, and present a written quote that is valid for 30 days—no surprise add-ons once the job starts.
