FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Georgetown homes?
Georgetown’s warm climate and high pollen counts—especially from cedar and oak—mean dust, allergens, and microbial growth can quickly build up in your HVAC ductwork. A thorough cleaning removes these contaminants, helping reduce allergy symptoms, eliminating musty odors, and improving overall system airflow. Cleaner ducts allow your heating and cooling equipment to operate more efficiently and deliver healthier, fresher air to every room.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
For most Georgetown households, we recommend a professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need service sooner if • you’ve recently completed a remodeling project, • you have pets that shed heavily, • someone in your home suffers from asthma or severe allergies, or • you notice visible dust blowing from supply vents. Regular maintenance visits (filter changes and inspections) also help determine the ideal cleaning interval for your specific system.
What can I expect during a typical duct cleaning appointment?
Our certified technicians arrive with high-powered HEPA vacuums and rotating brush equipment designed specifically for residential ductwork. After protecting your floors and furnishings, we: 1. Inspect the entire duct network, registers, and air handler. 2. Create access points and attach the vacuum to place the system under negative pressure. 3. Dislodge and extract debris with mechanical brushes and compressed air whips. 4. Sanitize ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment (optional but recommended). 5. Re-seal access panels, reinstall vents, and perform a final system performance check. The process typically takes 2–4 hours, and you can remain in your home the whole time.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills or extend the life of my HVAC equipment?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your blower motor and compressor to work harder. By restoring optimal airflow, duct cleaning can improve efficiency by up to 20 %, which translates into lower monthly energy costs. Clean ducts also reduce wear on critical HVAC components, helping prevent breakdowns and prolonging the life of your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.
Is duct cleaning safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards and use sealed HEPA equipment that prevents contaminants from re-entering your living space. Any antimicrobial solutions we apply are low-VOC, hypoallergenic, and approved for use in occupied homes, so children and pets can stay inside during the service without risk.
How much does duct cleaning cost in Georgetown and what factors influence the price?
Most single-family homes in Georgetown spend between $400 and $700 for a complete duct cleaning. Pricing depends on: • Size of the home and number of supply/return vents • Accessibility of attic or crawl-space ductwork • Level of contamination and need for antimicrobial treatments • Additional services such as dryer-vent cleaning or installing UV air purifiers We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
