FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Etowah?
For most homes and light-commercial buildings in Etowah, we recommend a full system cleaning every 3–5 years. Because East Tennessee’s pollen, humidity, and temperature swings can accelerate dust, mold, and debris buildup, homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may benefit from more frequent service (every 2–3 years). We’re happy to perform a free visual inspection to help you decide the right schedule.
What are the warning signs that my duct system needs cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust being released from registers, musty or unpleasant odors when the HVAC runs, unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups, excessive household dust accumulation, uneven airflow, and higher utility bills. You might also see dark lines around vent covers or hear rattling noises caused by debris. If you notice any of these, scheduling an inspection is your best next step.
What does your professional duct-cleaning process involve?
1) We start with video-scoping to document the condition of your ductwork. 2) All supply and return vents are sealed except the one we’re working on to create maximum suction. 3) A high-powered negative-air vacuum (rated at 3,000–5,000 CFM) is attached to the main trunk line. 4) We use rotating brushing whips and compressed-air tools to dislodge dust, pet hair, dander, pollen, mold spores, and construction debris. 5) The contaminants are captured outside your home in a HEPA-filtered containment unit. 6) On request, we apply an EPA-registered sanitizer and deodorizer safe for people and pets. 7) Finally, we reinstall registers and provide before-and-after photos for your peace of mind.
How long will duct cleaning take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family home in Etowah takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or commercial spaces can take a full day. Because the vacuum remains outside and we block off work zones, household disruptions are minimal. You can stay in the home, and your HVAC system can be run immediately once we’re finished. We schedule appointments around your availability, including Saturdays, to keep downtime to a minimum.
What benefits can I expect after having my ductwork cleaned?
Clients usually notice fresher indoor air, reduced dust on furniture, and relief from allergy and asthma symptoms within days. Clean ducts also allow your HVAC system to breathe easier, improving airflow by up to 30 % and potentially lowering energy bills 5–15 %. Less debris means reduced wear on critical components like blower motors and coils, extending equipment life and decreasing repair costs. Many homeowners also comment that odors from cooking, pets, or smoke dissipate quickly after cleaning.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system, and do you offer sanitization?
Yes. We follow National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards and use only soft-bristle brushes, non-marring whip heads, and controlled air pressure to protect sheet-metal, flex, and fiberboard ducts. Our HEPA vacuums prevent back-drafting contaminants into your living space. For added protection, we can apply an antimicrobial fogging treatment that kills 99.9 % of bacteria, mold, and viruses inside the ductwork without leaving harmful residues. All products are EPA-registered and safe for occupied spaces.
