FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Charleston?
Charleston’s humid, coastal climate encourages mold, mildew, and dust accumulation inside HVAC ductwork. Professional duct cleaning eliminates these contaminants, helping prevent respiratory irritation, musty odors, and premature HVAC wear. Clean ducts improve airflow efficiency, letting your heating and cooling system condition rooms faster, reduce energy bills, and extend equipment life.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years, but Charleston properties may need service more frequently due to higher humidity, frequent pollen, and salt-laden coastal air. You should also schedule a cleaning after major renovations, water damage, mold remediation, or if occupants suffer unexplained allergies.
What are common signs that my air ducts need to be cleaned?
• Persistent dust even after regular housekeeping • Visible debris or mold around supply or return vents • Musty or burnt odors when the HVAC turns on • Uneven airflow or hot and cold spots in rooms • Recent pest infestations or rodent droppings in the attic or crawlspace • Unexplained increases in energy bills or allergy symptoms
Does duct cleaning really improve energy efficiency?
Yes. Dust, lint, and microbial growth restrict airflow. Your blower motor must work harder to push conditioned air through clogged ducts, spiking energy consumption. EPA studies show that removing heavy buildup can improve system efficiency by up to 20%. Customers often notice faster temperature recovery and lower monthly utility costs after a thorough cleaning.
