FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Crab Orchard?
Crab Orchard sits on the Cumberland Plateau, where seasonal pollen, limestone dust, and high summer humidity can all accumulate inside HVAC ductwork. When debris and moisture build up, they restrict airflow, force your heating and cooling system to work harder, and circulate allergens such as mold spores, dust mites, and pet dander throughout the building. Routine duct cleaning removes those contaminants, helping your equipment run efficiently, extending its life span, and giving occupants cleaner, healthier air to breathe.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends having residential ducts inspected every 2 years and cleaned every 3–5 years, but conditions in Crab Orchard can shorten that interval. If your home is near quarries or unpaved roads, has shedding pets, smokers, or family members with allergies, an annual or biennial cleaning may be more appropriate. Commercial properties, restaurants, and facilities that produce dust should follow a 1–2-year schedule. We’re happy to perform a free inspection and create a maintenance plan tailored to your specific environment.
What are the signs that my HVAC ducts need cleaning?
• Rooms heat or cool unevenly, or airflow feels weak at certain vents. • Visible dust puffs out of registers when the system starts. • Persistent musty or earthy odors, especially when the AC first comes on. • Excessive dust on furniture even after regular housekeeping. • Increased allergy, asthma, or respiratory symptoms among occupants. • You have recently completed a remodeling or construction project. If you notice one or more of these issues, schedule an inspection—proactive cleaning is far less costly than repairing a clogged or mold-laden system.
What is included in your duct-cleaning process?
1. Pre-inspection: We use fiber-optic cameras to document the condition of your supply and return trunks. 2. System protection: Registers, furnishings, and floors are covered; HVAC components are isolated to prevent debris spread. 3. Negative-air containment: A high-powered HEPA vacuum (3,000+ CFM) is attached to create negative pressure throughout the duct network. 4. Agitation & removal: Rotating brushes, compressed-air whips, and skipper balls dislodge dirt, which is drawn into the sealed vacuum. 5. Sanitizing (optional): EPA-registered antimicrobial fog can be applied to eliminate mold, bacteria, and odors. 6. Post-inspection & report: We provide before-and-after photos and airflow readings so you can see the difference.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Independent studies show that a clean duct system can reduce airborne particulate levels by up to 30% and improve HVAC efficiency by 10–20%. Cleaner coils and unobstructed airflow mean your equipment doesn’t have to cycle as long to reach the thermostat set point, cutting utility costs. For allergy or asthma sufferers, removing bio-contaminants often leads to noticeably fewer flare-ups and better sleep. Many customers in Crab Orchard report lower dusting chores and a fresher indoor smell within days of service.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning job take, and will it disrupt my day?
A standard single-family home in Crab Orchard (2,000–3,000 sq. ft.) takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or commercial buildings can take half a day or more. We schedule appointments at your convenience, arrive with a two-technician crew, and keep equipment and hoses neatly organized to minimize trip hazards. Your HVAC system will be off during cleaning, but we restore it as soon as each section is finished, so comfort is rarely affected. Most clients are surprised by how quiet and non-intrusive the process is.
