FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Grandview?
Over time, dust, pollen, dander, and even mold spores accumulate inside your ductwork. In Grandview’s humid summers and chilly winters, your HVAC system runs almost year-round, constantly circulating whatever is inside those ducts. Professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping reduce allergy and asthma triggers, eliminating musty odors, and allowing your furnace or air conditioner to breathe easier. A cleaner system also runs more efficiently, which can lower utility costs and extend equipment life.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, you may need it sooner if you’ve recently completed a remodeling project, own shedding pets, smoke indoors, notice unexplained dust buildup, or have family members with respiratory issues. Grandview’s high pollen counts in spring and ragweed in late summer can also warrant more frequent service. We’re happy to inspect your system and provide a custom recommendation.
What signs tell me my ducts need attention?
Common red flags include: • Persistent dust on furniture soon after cleaning • Visible dust puffs or debris coming from registers • Musty or burnt smells when the HVAC system starts • Uneven airflow or rooms that never reach the set temperature • Worsening allergies, coughing, or sneezing indoors • A recent spike in your heating or cooling bills. If you recognize one or more of these symptoms, scheduling an inspection is wise.
What happens during a professional duct cleaning appointment?
1. Inspection – We camera-scope the supply and return runs to assess contamination levels and identify leaks. 2. Protection – Drop cloths, corner guards, and register covers protect your floors, walls, and furnishings. 3. Negative-pressure vacuum – A high-power, HEPA-filtered vacuum is attached to the main trunk line, pulling debris out of the system. 4. Mechanical agitation – Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge stuck-on dust and buildup. 5. Register & grille cleaning – Each vent cover is removed, washed, and reinstalled. 6. Optional sanitizing – An EPA-registered, plant-based disinfectant can be fogged through the system to kill odor-causing bacteria. The average Grandview home (about 2,000 sq ft) takes 2–4 hours start to finish.
Will duct cleaning really lower my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40 % of the energy used to heat or cool a home is wasted, much of it due to contaminants that force equipment to work harder. Removing that buildup improves airflow, allowing your blower motor and coils to operate at peak efficiency. Better airflow translates into quicker temperature recovery and less run time, which lowers utility costs. Simultaneously, eliminating dust, mold, and bacteria circulating in the air improves IAQ, reducing allergy flare-ups and respiratory irritation.
Is the process safe for my family, pets, and HVAC system?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA standards and use equipment designed specifically for residential ductwork, so there’s no risk of damage. Our vacuums are sealed and HEPA-filtered, preventing particles from re-entering your living space. If you opt for sanitizing, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are kid- and pet-safe yet effective against germs and odors. You can stay in the home during service, and you’ll be able to run the HVAC system as soon as we’re finished.
