FAQs
Why is air duct cleaning important for my Ducktown home?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork. When the system runs, those particles recirculate throughout your living spaces, aggravating allergies, reducing HVAC efficiency, and creating musty odors. Ducktown’s coastal humidity can also foster mold growth in ducts. Professional cleaning removes that buildup, helping your family breathe cleaner air while protecting your heating and cooling equipment.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
Most Ducktown homeowners benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may want more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have pets that shed, residents with asthma or allergies, recent home renovations, or if you notice visible dust around vents. New homeowners should consider an initial cleaning to remove debris left by previous occupants or construction.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning or sanitizing?
Watch for excessive dust on vent covers, uneven airflow, unexplained spikes in energy bills, musty or stale odors when the system starts, visible mold inside supply registers, or increased allergy symptoms indoors. If you change your air filter more often than usual because it clogs quickly, that’s another hint contaminants are circulating through the ductwork.
What is involved in your duct cleaning process?
Our certified technicians arrive with powerful negative-air vacuums and rotary brush systems. After protecting floors and furniture, we remove and inspect each register, create sealed access points, and place your duct system under continuous suction. Rotary brushes loosen debris while the vacuum pulls it into a HEPA-filtered containment unit. We then sanitize the ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment (optional), reattach registers, and perform a final HVAC performance check.
Will duct cleaning improve my HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing obstructions allows conditioned air to flow freely, reducing strain on blowers and coils. This can lower energy consumption by up to 15 %, extend equipment life, and help maintain consistent temperatures. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer airborne particles, leading to better respiratory comfort, fewer allergy triggers, and a fresher-smelling home.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
Most Ducktown homes take 2–4 hours, depending on system size, number of vents, and how much buildup we find. Before we arrive, clear a 3-foot area around each register and ensure the HVAC unit is accessible. Please keep pets in a separate room for safety. We’ll handle the rest, including post-cleaning cleanup and a walkthrough to show you the results.
