FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for HVAC system performance in Harrison?
Over time, dust, pet dander, pollen, construction debris, and even mold spores can accumulate in your ductwork. When your furnace or air-conditioning system cycles, that buildup restricts airflow and forces the blower motor to work harder, reducing efficiency and shortening equipment life. In Harrison’s four-season climate—hot, humid summers and chilly winters—your HVAC system already works hard; keeping the ducts clean helps it move conditioned air with less resistance, lowers energy consumption, and prevents contaminants from being recirculated into your living space.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my home or business?
For most properties in Harrison, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve completed a remodeling project, have shedding pets, suffer from severe allergies, notice visible dust buildup around vents, or experience unexplained energy-bill spikes. Commercial buildings, medical offices, and facilities with high occupancy or special air-quality requirements should consider annual inspections with cleaning as needed.
What are the signs that my ducts need to be cleaned?
Common indicators include: (1) visible dust “puffs” when the HVAC system starts; (2) musty or stale odors coming from supply registers; (3) inconsistent temperatures or weak airflow from some vents; (4) excessive dust settling on furniture soon after cleaning; (5) unexplained allergy or respiratory issues among occupants; and (6) higher-than-normal heating or cooling bills. If you notice any of these, a professional duct inspection is a smart next step.
What does your duct cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive with high-powered negative-air machines and HEPA-filtered vacuums. We: 1) protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths; 2) remove and clean all supply and return registers; 3) create access ports in the trunk lines if needed; 4) agitate debris inside the ducts with rotary brushes and compressed-air whips; 5) draw all loosened contaminants into a sealed filtration unit; 6) apply an EPA-approved sanitizer or mold inhibitor upon request; and 7) re-seal access points, reinstall registers, and run the HVAC system to confirm proper airflow. A before-and-after photo report is provided so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning improve my home’s energy efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing buildup allows conditioned air to travel freely, which can lower system runtime by up to 20 percent in heavily clogged ducts. That translates to reduced energy costs and less wear on components such as blower motors and heat exchangers. Cleaner ducts also minimize the circulation of dust, allergens, and microbial contaminants, helping allergy and asthma sufferers breathe easier and reducing the need for household dusting.
How long does a duct cleaning appointment take, and do I need to prepare anything?
Most single-family homes in Harrison take 2–4 hours; larger residences or commercial sites can take half a day or more. To prepare, please: 1) clear a path to each supply and return vent; 2) ensure pets are secured; and 3) set aside a parking space near the building for our vacuum truck or portable equipment. You can stay in the building during the process—our HEPA filtration prevents debris from escaping—though some clients prefer to run errands while we work. Once finished, the HVAC system can be operated immediately.
