FAQs
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my Etowah home?
Most HVAC experts recommend cleaning your ductwork every 3–5 years. However, households with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy-sensitive occupants may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. Our technicians can inspect your system and give a personalized recommendation based on dust buildup, filter condition, and air-flow readings.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include excessive dust on vents or furniture shortly after cleaning, visible debris inside supply registers, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system runs, unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups, and uneven airflow from room to room. If you notice any of these issues in your Etowah home, it’s time to schedule an inspection.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Removing accumulated dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander reduces airborne contaminants that circulate through your living space, leading to cleaner, healthier air. Clearing obstructions also allows your HVAC system to move air more freely, reducing strain on the blower motor and potentially lowering energy bills by 5–10 %.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning process?
1) Pre-inspection with video scope to document duct condition. 2) Sealing of supply and return registers to create negative pressure. 3) Use of a high-powered HEPA vacuum and rotary brush system to dislodge and extract debris. 4) Sanitizing treatment with EPA-registered antimicrobial solution if microbial growth is present. 5) Final video verification and system performance check. The entire service typically takes 2–4 hours for an average Etowah single-family home.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and household members?
Absolutely. Our team follows NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines, uses soft-bristle brushes designed for metal and flexible ductwork, and employs negative-pressure containment to prevent dust from escaping into your living areas. All disinfectants are low-VOC and safe for children, pets, and individuals with respiratory sensitivities when used as directed.
How much does duct cleaning cost in Etowah and are there any discounts available?
Pricing depends on home size, number of vents, accessibility, and whether antimicrobial treatment is required. Most standard Etowah homes fall in the $350–$550 range. We offer seasonal promotions, military and senior discounts, and package deals when duct cleaning is combined with HVAC tune-ups or air-quality upgrades such as UV germicidal lights or whole-home air purifiers.
