FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Heiskell homes?
Heiskell’s warm, humid summers and cool, pollen-heavy springs can cause dust, mold spores, and other contaminants to accumulate inside HVAC ductwork. When the system runs, these particles circulate through your living spaces, aggravating allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, allowing your heating and air conditioning system to deliver cleaner, healthier air while also reducing odors and microbial growth.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years under normal conditions. In Heiskell, we suggest leaning toward the shorter end of that range if you have pets that shed, smokers in the home, recent renovations, or family members with allergies. Annual inspections are a good idea; our technicians can then advise whether full cleaning is needed sooner.
What signs indicate that my air ducts need cleaning or inspection?
Common warning signs include: visible dust puffs from supply vents, musty or moldy odors when the system starts, excessive dust settling on furniture shortly after cleaning, uneven airflow from room to room, unexplained spikes in energy bills, and recent water damage or rodent activity in the attic or crawlspace. If you notice any of these, book an inspection to prevent potential health issues and costly HVAC repairs.
What is included in your duct cleaning service for residents of Heiskell?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to document the condition of your ductwork. We then use negative-air vacuum equipment and rotary brush tools to dislodge and extract dust, debris, and microbial growth from supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk line. The blower compartment, evaporator coil, and drain pan are cleaned, and antimicrobial treatment is applied where appropriate. We finish by replacing the air filter and providing a post-cleaning video so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills and improve HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Dust and debris inside ducts restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and run longer to reach the thermostat setting. After cleaning, airflow improves, allowing the system to cycle off sooner, which typically results in energy savings of 5–15%. A cleaner system also experiences less wear and tear, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns during Heiskell’s peak summer and winter seasons.
Is duct cleaning safe for my home, and how do you protect my family and pets during the process?
Absolutely. We seal every supply and return register before activating our HEPA-filtered vacuum, ensuring contaminants are removed from the home rather than released into it. All cleaning agents we use are EPA-registered and low-VOC, safe for children, pets, and individuals with chemical sensitivities. Our team wears shoe covers, uses drop cloths to protect floors and furniture, and performs a final walkthrough to make sure your home is left clean and comfortable.
