FAQs
How often should air ducts be cleaned in Calhoun’s climate?
For most homes in Calhoun, GA, professional duct cleaning is recommended every 3–5 years. Our humid subtropical weather means pollen, mold spores, and dust can build up a little faster than in drier climates. If you have pets that shed, family members with allergies, or you’ve recently completed a renovation, you may want to schedule service closer to the 2- to 3-year range.
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
• Improved indoor air quality by removing dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. • Increased HVAC efficiency—clean ducts let air flow freely, reducing strain on the blower motor and potentially lowering energy bills 5–15 %. • Longer equipment life—less debris circulating means coils, blower wheels, and filters stay cleaner. • Odor reduction—musty or stale smells trapped in dust, debris, or biological growth are removed. • Allergy and asthma relief—fewer airborne irritants result in fewer flare-ups for sensitive occupants.
What signs indicate that my ducts need cleaning?
Look for these red flags: 1. Visible dust puffs from supply registers when the system turns on. 2. Excessive dust accumulation on furniture shortly after cleaning. 3. Mold or mildew smell coming from vents. 4. Increased allergy or respiratory issues indoors. 5. Evidence of rodents or insects in the ductwork (droppings, nesting material). 6. Recently completed remodeling or drywall work that created fine dust.
What is involved in the duct-cleaning process?
Our certified technicians follow National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards: 1. Inspect supply and return ducts, plenums, and HVAC components with cameras. 2. Protect flooring and furnishings, then place the system under negative pressure with a high-power HEPA vacuum. 3. Agitate interior duct surfaces using rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. 4. Collect contaminants through the vacuum’s sealed filtration system. 5. Clean and sanitize registers, grilles, and the blower compartment. 6. Apply an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment upon request. 7. Re-inspect to confirm cleanliness and provide before/after photos.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills?
Yes—when dust and debris restrict airflow, your HVAC blower works harder and longer to maintain the set temperature. After a thorough cleaning, many Calhoun homeowners notice their systems cycle less frequently. Combined with a fresh filter, typical energy savings range from 5 % to 15 %, depending on the initial level of buildup and the efficiency of your existing equipment.
How much does duct cleaning cost in the Calhoun area?
Pricing depends on duct length, number of vents, and accessibility, but most single-family homes in Calhoun fall between $400 and $700. The estimate includes inspection, negative-pressure vacuuming, brushing, and register cleaning. Larger homes, multiple HVAC systems, or heavily contaminated ducts (mold or rodent infestation) will cost more. We provide free on-site quotes so you know the exact price before any work begins.
