FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Cowan?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores can accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork. Each time your system cycles on, these contaminants are pushed back into your living spaces and can aggravate allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues. Regular duct cleaning removes the build-up, helping you breathe easier, reducing odors, and maintaining healthier indoor air—especially important in Cowan’s humid climate, which can encourage mold growth inside ducts.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my Cowan home?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends professional cleaning every 3–5 years under normal conditions. However, Cowan homeowners may benefit from more frequent service—every 2–3 years—if they have pets that shed, family members with allergies, recent renovations, or if they use the HVAC system year-round. A quick inspection can help determine the ideal timeframe for your household.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include visible dust blowing from registers, musty or stale odors when the furnace or AC runs, unexplained spikes in energy bills, frequent filter clogs, uneven airflow room to room, or allergy and respiratory symptoms that improve when you leave the house. If you notice any of these issues in your Cowan residence, it’s time to schedule a duct inspection and possible cleaning.
What does your Cowan duct‐cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to locate buildup, mold, or damage. We then seal all vents and connect a high-powered HEPA vacuum to create negative pressure, ensuring debris is pulled safely out of the system. Agitation tools—rotary brushes and compressed-air whips—dislodge stubborn dirt along the trunk and branch lines. We finish by sanitizing with an eco-friendly antimicrobial treatment, reinstalling vent covers, and providing before-and-after photos so you can see the difference.
Can duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. When dust and debris constrict airflow inside ducts, your HVAC system works harder and runs longer to reach set temperatures. This additional strain can raise energy consumption by up to 20 %. After a thorough cleaning, airflow is restored, the system operates more efficiently, and many Cowan customers report noticeable reductions in monthly utility costs—often enough to offset the cleaning expense over time.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and my family?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA standards and use soft-bristle brushes, negative-pressure vacuums with HEPA filtration, and EPA-registered sanitizers safe for children, pets, and sensitive individuals. Our process never introduces harsh chemicals or damages ductwork, coils, or insulation. Instead, it removes contaminants that could harm your family’s health and extends the life of your heating and cooling equipment.
