FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Georgetown homes?
Your HVAC ductwork circulates the same air throughout your home five to seven times a day. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, construction debris, and even mold spores can build up inside the ducts and recirculate into your living spaces. In Georgetown’s humid climate, this build-up can also harbor bacteria and mildew, contributing to odors and respiratory irritation. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping reduce allergy and asthma triggers, creating a fresher-smelling environment, and supporting a healthier overall indoor atmosphere.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
Most homes benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years, but the right interval depends on several factors. You may need more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies, recent remodeling work, or if you notice visible dust buildup around vents. Conversely, newer homes with high-efficiency filters and no indoor smoking may be able to wait a little longer. Our Georgetown technicians can inspect your system and recommend a schedule tailored to your home and lifestyle.
What signs indicate that my air ducts need cleaning?
Common clues include: persistent dust on furniture shortly after cleaning; musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs; visible dust “puffs” coming from supply registers; inconsistent airflow between rooms; unexplained allergy or sinus issues that worsen indoors; and evidence of pests or mold inside ductwork. If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s wise to schedule an inspection before the problem escalates.
What can I expect during a professional duct cleaning service?
Our certified technicians arrive on time, protect floors and furnishings, and place the HVAC system under negative pressure using a high-powered vacuum. While the system is under suction, we agitate interior surfaces with rotary brushes and compressed-air tools to dislodge debris, which is then captured by HEPA-filtered equipment. We clean supply and return trunks, individual branch lines, grilles, and registers, and we finish with an optional eco-friendly sanitizer to neutralize lingering odors or microbes. The typical Georgetown single-family home takes 3–5 hours, and you can remain in the house during the process.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes, it can. Contaminants build up on duct walls and in critical HVAC components such as the blower motor, coils, and registers, restricting airflow and forcing your system to work harder. By restoring proper airflow, duct cleaning can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %, translating into measurable energy savings—especially during Georgetown ’s hot summers and cool winters when systems run continuously. Cleaner ducts also reduce wear and tear, helping your furnace and air conditioner last longer.
Is duct cleaning safe for people with allergies, asthma, or pets?
Absolutely. Our process follows NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards and uses HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns. We avoid harsh chemicals; any optional treatments we apply are EPA-approved, plant-based antimicrobials safe for children, pets, and sensitive individuals. Most homeowners report immediate relief from dust and respiratory symptoms once the contaminants are removed.
