FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Grandview homes?
Grandview’s four-season climate means heating and cooling systems run most of the year, pulling dust, pollen, pet dander, and even construction debris into the ductwork. Over time these contaminants can accumulate and re-circulate through your living spaces every time the furnace or air conditioner turns on. A professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping reduce allergy and asthma triggers, eliminating musty odors, and allowing your HVAC filters to do their job more effectively.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for a typical household. In Grandview you may want to stay closer to the 3-year mark if you have pets that shed, family members with respiratory issues, recent remodeling work, or if you notice visible dust blowing from registers. Newly built homes can also benefit from a one-time cleaning to clear out drywall dust and construction debris.
What happens during a professional duct cleaning visit?
1. Pre-inspection: Our technician removes a supply and a return register to inspect buildup with a camera. 2. Protection setup: Drop cloths and corner guards protect floors and walls. 3. Negative pressure: A high-powered vacuum truck is connected to the main trunk line, placing your entire system under negative pressure so debris is pulled safely outside. 4. Agitation: Rotating brushes, compressed-air whips, and skipper balls dislodge contaminants on the duct walls. 5. Component cleaning: We clean the blower, evaporator coil surface, drain pan, and register covers. 6. Optional sanitizing: If requested, an EPA-approved antimicrobial mist is applied. 7. Final walkthrough: The technician shows before-and-after photos, reinstalls access panels, and checks system operation.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills or improve HVAC performance?
Yes—although savings vary. A layer of dust only 0.05 inches thick on a blower wheel can reduce airflow by up to 10 %. Clean ducts allow your furnace and A/C to move air with less resistance, so they run shorter cycles and experience less wear. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40 % of the energy used for heating and cooling is wasted; keeping the ductwork clean, sealed, and properly insulated is one of the easiest ways to reclaim some of that loss.
How long does a typical duct cleaning service take, and do I need to leave my home?
Most Grandview residences (1,500–3,000 sq ft) take 2–4 hours for a two-technician crew. Larger homes with multiple HVAC systems can take 4–6 hours. You can stay in the house the entire time; our equipment remains outside except for sealed hoses, and we maintain negative pressure so dust does not escape into your living areas. Pets should be secured for their comfort and safety.
How much does duct cleaning cost in Grandview, and what factors influence the price?
For a single-system home the average price ranges from $400 to $700. Costs vary based on the number of supply and return vents, system accessibility, presence of mold or rodent contamination, and optional add-ons such as sanitizer or dryer-vent cleaning. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes after an on-site or virtual inspection, and we never charge hidden disposal or environmental fees.
