FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Hixson?
For most homes in Hixson, we recommend professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling work, or notice excessive dust buildup, you may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. Our technicians can inspect your system and provide a personalized schedule.
What are the signs that my HVAC air ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust or debris blowing from supply vents, musty or stale odors when the system runs, unexplained allergy flare-ups, inconsistent airflow room-to-room, and a recent spike in energy bills. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection so we can confirm whether duct contamination is the culprit.
Does duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants helps your family breathe easier and can reduce allergy symptoms. Clean ducts also allow conditioned air to move more freely, which lets your HVAC equipment operate with less resistance. This can lower energy consumption by up to 20 % and lessen wear on your blower motor and coils.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
Our Hixson duct cleaning package starts with a camera inspection to document the condition of your supply and return lines. We then use negative-pressure vacuums and rotary brush tools to dislodge debris without damaging the duct walls. Registers, grilles, the blower compartment, and the evaporator coil are thoroughly cleaned. We finish with an EPA-approved sanitizer to inhibit microbial growth and provide before-and-after photos for your records.
How long does duct cleaning take and will it disrupt my household?
An average single-family home takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or systems with multiple HVAC units can take up to 6 hours. Our team protects floors and furniture with drop cloths, keeps doors closed as much as possible, and wears shoe covers. You can remain in the home during the process; expect normal vacuum noise but no loss of heating or cooling afterward.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and what about warranties?
Absolutely. We follow National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards, use soft-bristle agitation brushes, and maintain proper vacuum pressure to prevent damage. Cleaning your ducts does not void manufacturer warranties—in fact, many HVAC makers recommend routine cleaning to preserve system performance. We are fully insured, and our work is backed by a 12-month satisfaction guarantee.
