FAQs
Why is air-duct cleaning important for Hillsboro homes?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside the ductwork that distributes heated and cooled air throughout your house. When the HVAC system cycles on, these pollutants are circulated into your living spaces, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. Hillsboro’s damp winters also promote mold growth inside ducts. Professional cleaning removes this buildup, helping your equipment run more efficiently, extending HVAC life, and delivering cleaner, healthier air to every room.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, you may need more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have pets that shed, family members with severe allergies or asthma, recent remodeling work that created dust, smoking inside the home, or if you notice visible mold, vermin, or excessive dust near supply registers. A quick inspection by our technicians can confirm whether you’re due for cleaning.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: (1) visible dust blowing from vents when the system turns on, (2) musty or stale odors coming from supply registers, (3) worsening allergy or asthma symptoms indoors, (4) dark streaks or dust buildup around vent covers, (5) inconsistent airflow or rooms that are harder to heat/cool, (6) recent water damage or pests in the ductwork, and (7) a noticeable, unexplained increase in energy bills. If you experience any of these, booking an inspection is wise.
What does your professional duct-cleaning service include?
Our Hillsboro team follows NADCA-certified procedures: 1) Pre-inspection with cameras to assess duct condition. 2) Protection of floors, furniture, and HVAC components with corner guards and drop cloths. 3) Powerful negative-air machines connected to the main trunk lines to place the entire system under suction. 4) Agitation tools (rotary brushes, compressed-air whips) that dislodge debris from all supply and return branches. 5) HEPA-filtered vacuum removal of loosened contaminants. 6) Optional EPA-approved antimicrobial fogging if mold is present. 7) Final camera verification and written before/after report. We also clean the blower, coils, registers, and grilles at no extra charge.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing built-up debris eliminates a major source of airborne pollutants, leading to fewer allergens and a fresher indoor environment. Clean ducts also allow air to move freely, reducing strain on the blower motor and improving overall system efficiency. Industry studies estimate energy savings of 5–20 % after a professional cleaning, depending on the initial level of blockage and equipment condition. You may notice more even temperatures, less dust settling on furniture, and lower utility bills.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take, and what should I expect?
For an average single-family home in Hillsboro (1,800–2,500 sq ft with one HVAC system), the process takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or multiple systems may require additional time. You don’t need to leave the house; our technicians just need access to each vent, the furnace/air-handler, and a standard electrical outlet. We’ll move lightweight furniture if necessary and return everything to its place. After the job, you’ll receive a detailed service report and maintenance tips to keep your air clean between professional visits.
