FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Calhoun?
Calhoun’s hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters create the perfect environment for dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria to build up inside HVAC ductwork. When your system cycles, these contaminants are circulated through every room, aggravating allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. A professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, restoring clean airflow, reducing allergens, and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Calhoun’s climate?
For most homes in Calhoun, we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have smokers in the house, pets that shed, recent renovations, water damage, or family members with respiratory conditions. Annual HVAC inspections will reveal whether your ducts are dirty sooner than expected.
What are the signs that my HVAC ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include excessive dust on furniture just days after cleaning, visible dust puffs coming from supply vents, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system starts, higher energy bills with no change in usage, unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups, and evidence of rodents or insects in duct runs. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection.
What does your duct cleaning process involve and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive with a high-powered negative-air vacuum truck. We seal each register, create access points, and place the system under negative pressure. Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge debris, which is captured outside the home. We then sanitize with an EPA-approved antimicrobial mist and reinstall access covers and grilles. A typical Calhoun residence (2,000–3,000 sq ft) takes 3–5 hours start to finish.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills and improve HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder to heat or cool your home. After cleaning, airflow is restored, blower motors run with less strain, and the system reaches desired temperatures faster. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a clean HVAC system can operate up to 20 % more efficiently, translating into noticeable energy savings.
Is duct cleaning safe for my family, pets, and HVAC system?
Absolutely. We use soft-bristle brushes, industry-standard vacuum pressures, and EPA-approved sanitizers that leave no harmful residue. All vents are covered during the process to keep dust out of living spaces, and our technicians wear shoe covers and drop cloths to protect your home. The procedure is non-invasive to your ductwork and safe for children, pets, and anyone with respiratory sensitivities.
