FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my home or business in Decherd?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside supply and return ductwork. Each heating or cooling cycle can send these particles back into your living or working space, aggravating allergies, creating musty odors, and forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping to protect indoor air quality, reduce system strain, and lower energy costs.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
Most industry organizations—including the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA)—recommend cleaning every 3–5 years. However, homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or occupants with respiratory issues may benefit from more frequent service (every 2–3 years). After major construction projects or if you notice visible dust around vents, scheduling sooner is wise.
What warning signs indicate that my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: (1) visible dust puffs or debris coming from supply registers, (2) musty or stale odors when the HVAC starts, (3) unexplained increases in allergy or asthma symptoms indoors, (4) uneven airflow or rooms that never seem to reach set temperatures, and (5) higher-than-usual energy bills caused by airflow restriction.
What does your duct cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians arrive with powerful negative-pressure vacuum equipment and rotary brush systems. After protecting floors and furnishings, we remove and clean register covers, isolate each duct run, and agitate debris with soft bristle brushes while the vacuum pulls contaminants into a sealed HEPA filter unit. We also clean the air handler, blower wheel, and accessible evaporator coil surfaces, then sanitize the ductwork with an EPA-registered antimicrobial solution if requested. A post-cleaning camera inspection verifies results.
Will duct cleaning really improve HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. By clearing blockages, we restore full airflow, allowing your furnace or air conditioner to reach set temperatures faster and cycle off sooner—often lowering energy consumption by 5–20%. Removing accumulated dust and bio-contaminants also reduces the particulate load circulating in your home, which can lessen allergy flare-ups and create a fresher, cleaner indoor environment.
How long does a typical duct cleaning take, and how should I prepare?
Most single-family residences in Decherd take 2–4 hours, while larger homes or light commercial buildings may require half a day or more. Prior to our arrival, please clear furniture or personal items around supply and return registers and provide access to the HVAC unit, attic entry, or crawlspace if applicable. We’ll handle the rest, and you can resume normal HVAC operation immediately after the service.
