FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Georgetown’s climate?
Georgetown experiences warm, humid summers and cool winters, which means your HVAC system runs almost year-round. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and construction debris accumulate inside the ductwork and are circulated every time the system cycles on. Routine duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping prevent restricted airflow, reducing strain on the blower motor, and limiting the spread of allergens and odors throughout your home.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
For most Georgetown homes, we recommend every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service—every 2–3 years—if you have pets that shed, recent remodeling work, residents with allergies or asthma, or if you notice visible dust buildup on vents. Brand-new homes also benefit from a post-construction cleaning to remove drywall dust and construction debris left in the ducts.
What signs indicate that my air ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: excessive dust on registers only days after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the system starts, visible dust “poofs” from supply vents, uneven airflow from room to room, unexplained allergy flare-ups, or seeing mold or pest droppings inside the duct when you remove a vent grille. A spike in energy bills with no other explanation can also signal restricted airflow from dirty ducts.
What does your duct-cleaning process involve, and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians use a powerful negative-air vacuum combined with high-pressure air whips and rotating brushes to dislodge and extract debris. We seal off each register to maintain suction, protect furnishings with drop cloths, and finish with an EPA-approved sanitizer if requested. A standard 2,000-sq-ft single-story home typically takes 2–4 hours. Larger or multi-story homes may require half a day. We provide before-and-after camera footage so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. By removing dust, allergens, and microbial growth, duct cleaning reduces the particles recirculated in your living space, leading to cleaner air and fewer allergy triggers. Clearing blockages also restores optimal airflow, allowing your HVAC system to heat or cool more efficiently. According to the EPA, clean ducts combined with a new filter can improve system efficiency by up to 15%, which translates to lower utility bills and a longer equipment lifespan.
Is duct cleaning safe for my pets, children, and the HVAC equipment itself?
Absolutely. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums that prevent debris from escaping back into the home, and all access panels are resealed to manufacturer specifications. Non-toxic, fragrance-free sanitizers are available for households with chemical sensitivities. Our technicians follow NADCA standards to avoid damage to flexible ducts, insulation, or the evaporator coil. Pets and children can remain in the home; we just ask that they stay clear of our work areas for safety and efficiency.
