FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my Harriman home?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside HVAC ductwork. In Harriman’s humid climate, this buildup can foster mold growth and reduce your system’s efficiency. Professional duct cleaning removes these pollutants, improving indoor air quality, helping HVAC components run more efficiently, and potentially lowering energy bills.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends duct cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, Harriman homeowners with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or asthma may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common signs include excessive dust around supply vents, musty or unexplained odors when the HVAC system runs, visible mold inside ducts, frequent HVAC filter clogs, worsening allergies or respiratory issues, and inconsistent airflow between rooms.
Will duct cleaning improve my HVAC system’s efficiency?
Yes. Removing debris and obstructions allows air to flow freely, reducing strain on blowers and coils. This can improve airflow balance, help the system reach set temperatures faster, and lower energy consumption. Clean ducts also extend the lifespan of key HVAC components by reducing wear and overheating.
Is the duct cleaning process safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely. We use NADCA-approved equipment with HEPA-filtered negative-air machines that capture 99.97% of particles. All access points are sealed, preventing contaminants from entering your living space. If antimicrobial treatment is requested, we apply EPA-registered products safe for people and pets once the system is sealed and under negative pressure.
What should I expect during a professional duct cleaning appointment?
A typical visit lasts 2–4 hours, depending on home size. Our certified technicians will: 1) Inspect ducts and HVAC components with cameras, 2) Protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths, 3) Create access openings and attach a negative-air vacuum, 4) Agitate and dislodge debris using rotary brushes and compressed-air tools, 5) Seal the system and clean each register, 6) Perform a final camera inspection, and 7) Reseal access panels and provide a written report. Your HVAC system will be ready to operate immediately after completion.
