FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my Decherd home?
Middle-Tennessee’s warm, humid summers and pollen-filled springs encourage dust, mold spores, and other allergens to collect in your HVAC ductwork. Professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping your family breathe easier, reducing musty odors, and protecting the efficiency of your heating and air-conditioning equipment. Our trained technicians use high-powered vacuums and HEPA filtration to extract debris that ordinary household vacuums or DIY methods can’t reach.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning with your HVAC technicians?
For most Decherd households we recommend a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. Homes with smokers, pets that shed, occupants with asthma or severe allergies, or properties that have recently undergone remodeling may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. During your annual HVAC tune-up we can inspect the ductwork and let you know whether cleaning is needed sooner.
What signs indicate my air ducts need to be cleaned?
Common indicators include: • Excess dust collecting on furniture or around supply vents shortly after cleaning. • Persistent musty or “dirty sock” odors when the HVAC system runs. • Visible dust puffs coming from registers. • Increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors. • Uneven airflow or rooms that never seem to reach the set temperature. • Evidence of rodents, insects, or mold inside the ductwork. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, call us for an inspection.
What can I expect during a duct-cleaning service visit?
1. Inspection: We begin with camera equipment to document the current condition of your ducts. 2. Protection: Drop cloths, vent covers, and corner guards protect floors, walls, and furnishings. 3. Negative-pressure vacuum: A powerful truck-mounted or portable HEPA vacuum is attached to the main trunk line to pull debris out of the system. 4. Agitation: Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge stuck-on dirt from every supply and return run. 5. Sanitizing (optional): We can apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog to inhibit future microbial growth. 6. Final check: Airflow and static pressure are tested to verify improved performance. Most single-family homes in Decherd take 2–4 hours, and you can remain in the house the entire time.
Will duct cleaning really improve my HVAC system’s efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing heavy dust buildup reduces airflow resistance, allowing your blower motor to work less and move conditioned air more evenly. Homeowners often see energy savings of 5–10 % and fewer hot-and-cold spots. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer particles circulating through your living space and clogging filters, resulting in healthier indoor air and longer filter life.
Are your duct-cleaning methods safe for my family, pets, and HVAC equipment?
Absolutely. We follow National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards, use HEPA-filtered vacuums to prevent re-distribution of dust, and select eco-friendly disinfectants with low or no VOCs. Our brushes are sized to match the diameter of your ductwork so they won’t damage the lining, and each technician is licensed, insured, and background-checked. We’ll explain every step before we start and answer any questions you have along the way.
