FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Guild?
For most Guild homes, we recommend a professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if you’ve recently completed a renovation, notice excessive dust, have household members with allergies, or own pets that shed heavily, you may benefit from more frequent cleanings—about every 2–3 years.
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning for indoor air quality?
Clean ducts remove built-up dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants that circulate through your HVAC system. This improves overall indoor air quality, reduces allergy and asthma triggers, helps your heating and cooling equipment run more efficiently, and can even lower energy bills by improving airflow.
Can dirty air ducts really affect my HVAC system’s efficiency?
Yes. When debris accumulates inside ductwork, it restricts airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder to maintain set temperatures. This extra strain can shorten equipment life, raise utility costs, and lead to uneven heating or cooling in different rooms. A thorough duct cleaning restores optimal airflow and system performance.
What signs indicate my home might need duct cleaning?
Common warning signs include excessive dust buildup on vents, visible debris inside registers, musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs, unexplained allergy flare-ups, higher-than-normal energy bills, and inconsistent temperatures from room to room. If you observe any of these in your Guild home, a duct inspection is advisable.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC components?
When performed by certified technicians using industry-approved methods (such as negative-pressure vacuums and soft-bristle agitation tools), duct cleaning is completely safe. Professionals seal and protect sensitive components, use HEPA-filtered equipment to prevent re-contamination, and follow NADCA standards to ensure no damage occurs to ductwork, coils, or blower assemblies.
What should I expect during a professional duct cleaning appointment?
A typical visit lasts 2–4 hours for an average Guild household. Our technicians will: 1) inspect the entire HVAC system; 2) seal off supply and return vents; 3) connect a powerful negative-air machine to create suction; 4) dislodge contaminants with specialized brushes or air whips; 5) clean registers, grilles, and the air handler; 6) sanitize the ductwork if requested; and 7) provide before-and-after photos plus a written report. Your furniture and flooring are protected throughout the process, and the system is fully operational immediately afterward.
