FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Etowah?
Etowah’s warm, humid summers and pollen-heavy springs mean dust, mold spores, and allergens can build up quickly inside your ductwork. A professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping your HVAC system run more efficiently, extending equipment life, and reducing allergens circulating in your home.
How often should my air ducts be cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years. Homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies may need service closer to every 2–3 years. After major events such as a remodel, wildfire smoke, or flood damage, it’s wise to schedule an immediate inspection.
What signs tell me my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust blowing from registers, musty or stale odors when the system runs, unexplained allergy symptoms, higher energy bills, uneven airflow between rooms, or finding excessive dust buildup around vents and returns even after regular housecleaning.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
We follow NADCA guidelines: (1) a full inspection with camera-scope; (2) sealing of supply and return registers; (3) negative-pressure vacuuming with a HEPA-filtered truck-mount; (4) mechanical agitation of each branch line and trunk; (5) cleaning of the blower, evaporator coil, drain pan, and accessible HVAC cabinet; (6) replacement or cleaning of the air filter; and (7) a post-cleaning video and written report.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing accumulated debris prevents particles from recirculating, which can reduce allergy and asthma triggers. Clearing airflow blockages also lets your system breathe easier, often lowering energy consumption by 10–20 % and reducing wear on the blower motor and coil.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
Most Etowah homes require 2–4 hours, depending on size and duct complexity. Before our technicians arrive, please clear a path to all supply and return vents, move fragile items away from the HVAC unit, and secure pets. We handle the rest, including protective floor coverings and a full cleanup afterward.
