FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by skilled technicians rather than doing it myself?
Professional duct cleaning removes dust, allergens, pet dander, mold spores, and construction debris that household vacuums cannot reach. Our certified technicians in Harrison use high-powered negative-pressure vacuums, rotary brushes, and EPA-registered sanitizers, ensuring the entire supply and return system—plus the blower, coils, and registers—is cleaned without releasing contaminants back into your living space. DIY attempts often miss hidden sections, risk damaging flexible ductwork, and can void HVAC warranties.
How often do homeowners in Harrison need duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years, but Harrison’s mix of humid summers, pollen-heavy springs, and wood-burning stoves in winter can shorten that interval. If you have indoor pets, recent renovations, allergy sufferers, or notice visible dust buildup, plan on service every 2–3 years. Commercial facilities or properties near construction zones may benefit from annual cleanings.
What signs indicate it’s time to schedule a duct cleaning appointment?
Common red flags include: 1) excessive dust on furniture right after vacuuming; 2) musty or burning smells when the HVAC starts; 3) inconsistent airflow or rooms that never reach the set temperature; 4) visible dust “puffs” from supply vents; 5) unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups; and 6) a recent rodent or insect infestation. If you notice any of these, call our Harrison office for an inspection.
What does your duct cleaning service include?
Our comprehensive package covers: (1) pre-clean video inspection of all ductwork; (2) sealing off each register to create negative pressure; (3) agitating and dislodging debris with rotary brushes and compressed-air whips; (4) HEPA vacuum extraction; (5) cleaning of the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and plenum boxes; (6) optional application of eco-friendly antimicrobial treatment; (7) post-clean camera verification and customer walkthrough. We leave your home as clean as we found it—shoes covered, drop cloths down, and debris removed.
How long does the duct cleaning process take and will it disrupt my day?
A typical single-family home in Harrison takes 2–4 hours, depending on duct length, accessibility, and the number of HVAC systems. Larger homes or properties with multiple furnaces can take 4–6 hours. You don’t need to leave the house; our equipment runs outside or in the basement, and noise is comparable to a household vacuum. Heating or cooling is generally off for only short intervals, so comfort is minimally affected.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills and extend HVAC equipment life?
Yes. Clean ducts allow unrestricted airflow, reducing strain on the blower motor and improving heat exchange efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40% of energy used for heating and cooling is wasted due to dirt and debris in the system. After a professional cleaning, many customers see 5–15% lower utility bills, fewer service calls, and longer intervals between filter changes. Removing dust from coils also prevents overheating and premature compressor failure.
