FAQs
Why is professional air-duct cleaning important for my HVAC system?
Dust, pollen, pet dander, and even construction debris can settle inside ductwork and restrict airflow. In Crossville’s four-season climate, those blockages force your furnace or air-conditioner to run longer to reach the set temperature, wasting energy and stressing components. A thorough cleaning by Peak Efficiency Heating & Air Conditioning removes these contaminants, restores proper airflow, helps prevent mold growth, and delivers cleaner indoor air—especially helpful for allergy or asthma sufferers.
How often should Crossville homeowners schedule duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends every 3–5 years as a rule of thumb. In Crossville we suggest the shorter end of that range if you have pets, smokers in the home, recent remodeling, or family members with respiratory conditions. New homeowners should consider a one-time cleaning to remove debris left by previous occupants, and commercial properties or short-term rentals may need annual service due to heavier usage.
What signs tell me my ducts probably need cleaning?
Watch for visible dust buildup on supply registers, musty or burning odors when the system starts, rooms that collect dust right after cleaning, unexplained allergy flare-ups, inconsistent airflow or temperature from room to room, and a recent spike in utility bills. If you’ve had water intrusion or noticed rodent or insect activity in the attic or crawlspace, schedule an inspection immediately because contaminated ductwork can circulate harmful particles throughout the home.
What does Peak Efficiency’s duct-cleaning service include?
1) Free on-site inspection with camera footage of your ducts. 2) Sealing of each register, then placing the main trunk under negative pressure with a high-capacity, HEPA-filtered vacuum. 3) Mechanical agitation and air-whip tools to dislodge debris without damaging the ducts. 4) Optional eco-friendly sanitizer/mold inhibitor misted through the system. 5) Cleaning of the blower, evaporator coil, and return plenum for total system hygiene. 6) Before-and-after photos and a written report so you see exactly what was done.
Will duct cleaning really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Even a 0.042-inch layer of dust on coil surfaces can cut HVAC efficiency by up to 21 %. Removing buildup allows conditioned air to travel freely, meaning your system cycles off sooner. Most Crossville homeowners see 5–15 % utility savings after a cleaning, and longer equipment life because the blower motor, heat exchanger, and compressor are under less strain. While results vary by home, duct cleaning is one of the quickest payback maintenance tasks you can perform.
Is the duct-cleaning process safe for my home and family?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA guidelines, use only soft-bristle brushes on flex-duct, and collect debris with sealed HEPA vacuums so no dust re-enters your living space. Our plant-based sanitizer is EPA-registered and non-toxic; you can remain in the home during treatment. Technicians wear shoe covers, lay down protective tarps, and re-seal duct joints before leaving. Peak Efficiency Heating & Air Conditioning is licensed, insured, and background-checked, so you can trust us to treat your home with care.
