FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Cowan?
Cowan’s warm, humid summers and cool winters mean your HVAC system runs almost year-round, pulling outside air—and everything in it—into your ductwork. Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores can settle inside the ducts. A professional cleaning removes this buildup, helping your system move air more freely, lowering energy consumption, preventing musty odors, and reducing the allergens that circulate through your home.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
For most Cowan homeowners we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Homes with shedding pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or asthma may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. Annual HVAC maintenance visits will also help determine whether a cleaning is needed sooner based on what our technicians see inside the ductwork.
What are the signs that my air ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: excessive dust on furniture even after regular cleaning; musty or stale odors when the system starts; visible dust puffs from supply registers; unexplained allergy flare-ups; inconsistent airflow or temperature room-to-room; and evidence of mold, insects, or rodent droppings inside or around the vents. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection as soon as possible.
What does your duct cleaning process involve?
1) Inspection – We begin with a camera survey to show you the condition of your ductwork. 2) Protection – Drop cloths and vent covers shield your floors and furnishings. 3) Negative-pressure vacuum – A high-powered, HEPA-filtered vacuum attaches to the trunk line to pull contaminants out. 4) Agitation – Motorized brushes and air whips loosen debris from the walls of every branch and return. 5) Sanitizing – An EPA-approved antimicrobial fog is applied if requested to inhibit future microbial growth. 6) Final review – We show you before-and-after images so you can see the difference yourself.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing accumulated debris eliminates a major source of airborne pollutants and allergens, leading to cleaner, healthier indoor air. By restoring unobstructed airflow, your HVAC blower does not have to work as hard, which can lower energy bills and reduce wear on components such as the blower motor and coils. Many customers in Cowan report a noticeable reduction in dusting and a quieter, more efficient system after cleaning.
How long does duct cleaning take and will it disrupt my routine?
A typical single-family home (1,500–2,500 sq. ft.) in Cowan takes 2–4 hours to complete. Larger homes or systems with heavy buildup may take longer. You can remain in the house during the service; our equipment runs from the truck and standard doorways remain closed. Expect some noise from the vacuum and brushes, but we schedule at your convenience and keep disruptions to a minimum. When finished, all vents are reinstalled, furniture is returned to its place, and the only thing we leave behind is cleaner air.
