FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for homes in Hixson?
Hixson’s humid summers, mild winters, and abundant tree pollen allow dust, mold spores, and other allergens to accumulate quickly inside HVAC ductwork. When your system runs, it can circulate those contaminants throughout your living space, aggravating allergies, lowering indoor air quality, and forcing the HVAC blower to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your system move air more efficiently, extending equipment life, and creating a healthier breathing environment for your family.
How often should I have my HVAC ducts cleaned?
For most Hixson homes we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you: • have household members with asthma or severe allergies • own pets that shed heavily • smoke indoors • have completed recent remodeling or construction projects • notice visible mold growth inside the system. An annual HVAC inspection will help determine the right schedule for your specific home.
What signs indicate my air ducts need professional cleaning?
Common warning signs include: persistent dust on furniture soon after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs, visible dust or debris around supply registers, unexplained allergy or respiratory symptoms, uneven airflow, and a recent spike in utility bills. If you see black streaks or excessive lint on vent covers, or if an HVAC technician finds mold inside the plenum or ductwork, it’s time to schedule a cleaning.
What does your duct-cleaning service include and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive with a high-powered negative-air machine and rotating brush system. We: 1. Protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths. 2. Remove and clean all supply and return registers. 3. Place the duct system under negative pressure. 4. Agitate and extract debris from every branch and trunk line. 5. Clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil surface, and drain pan if accessible. 6. Fog EPA-approved sanitizer upon request. 7. Re-seal access points and reinstall registers. A typical single-family home (10–15 supply vents) takes 2–4 hours; larger homes or systems with heavy contamination may require most of the day.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes—by removing dust and debris that restrict airflow, your HVAC system can achieve the same temperature using less energy, which the U.S. Department of Energy estimates can lower heating and cooling costs by up to 20%. Cleaner ducts also reduce circulating allergens and microbial contaminants, helping relieve allergy symptoms, minimizing musty odors, and creating a fresher, healthier indoor environment.
How much does professional duct cleaning cost in Hixson and do you offer any guarantees?
