FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my Decatur home?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores accumulate inside supply and return ductwork. Each time your HVAC system cycles on, those contaminants are circulated into your living spaces, aggravating allergies, reducing system efficiency, and shortening equipment life. A thorough, professional cleaning removes this buildup, restoring healthy indoor air quality, allowing conditioned air to flow freely, and helping your high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment perform to its rated specifications.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Decatur’s climate?
For most homes we recommend a full duct cleaning every three to five years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed a remodel, have shedding pets, suffer from allergies or asthma, or notice visible dust coming from vents. Decatur’s humid summers can also accelerate mold growth, so schedule an inspection any time you detect a musty odor or visible microbial growth around registers.
What signs indicate that it’s time to schedule duct cleaning?
Common red flags include excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, inconsistent temperatures between rooms, unexplained spikes in utility bills, musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs, and visible dust or debris clinging to vent covers. Residents with worsening respiratory symptoms—sneezing, itchy eyes, or headaches—often find relief after contaminants are removed from the duct system.
What advanced equipment do you use for state-of-the-art duct cleaning?
Our team arrives with truck-mounted negative-air machines that create powerful suction (up to 5,000 CFM) to pull debris out of the duct network. Inside, we deploy video inspection cameras to document conditions, then use rotating brush agitators and compressed-air whips to dislodge stubborn buildup. All particles are captured through HEPA-filtered containment so nothing re-enters your home. Afterward, we fog an EPA-registered sanitizer to neutralize any residual microbes—ideal for Decatur’s humid environment.
How long will the service take, and will it disrupt my day?
A typical single-family home in Decatur takes two to four hours to complete. Larger homes or commercial properties may require additional time. Our technicians protect floors and furniture with drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and seal each register before cleaning, so there’s minimal mess and no need to leave the house. Your HVAC system can usually be restarted as soon as we finish.
Is duct cleaning worth the investment—will it lower my energy bills?
Yes. Studies by the U.S. Department of Energy show that 25–40% of the energy used for heating or cooling is wasted when ductwork is dirty or obstructed. Removing buildup allows air to move without resistance, enabling your blower motor and compressor to run fewer cycles. Homeowners often see 5–20% reductions in monthly utility costs, along with extended equipment life and a more comfortable, healthier living environment.
