FAQs
What is air-duct cleaning and why is it important for homes in Jonesborough?
Air-duct cleaning removes accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other debris from the supply and return ducts of your heating and air-conditioning system. In Jonesborough, seasonal pollen, humid summers, and wood-burning stoves in winter all contribute to faster build-up inside ductwork. A professional cleaning improves indoor air quality, helps allergy and asthma sufferers breathe easier, reduces musty or “burnt dust” odors when the furnace first fires up, and can even improve HVAC efficiency by restoring full airflow.
How often should my ducts be cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends inspecting ducts every 2–3 years and cleaning them every 3–5 years on average. You may need more frequent service if you have indoor smokers, shedding pets, recent renovations, water damage, or family members with respiratory issues. In Jonesborough’s mixed climate, many homeowners find a 3-year cycle optimal to keep pollen and winter soot from accumulating.
What are common signs that my HVAC ducts need attention?
• Excessive dust settling on furniture soon after cleaning • Visible “puffs” of dust from supply registers when the system starts • Uneven airflow or rooms that are hard to heat or cool • Persistent musty, smoky, or burnt odors from vents • Increased allergy, sinus, or asthma symptoms indoors • Evidence of insects, rodents, or mold in or around ductwork If you notice any of these, scheduling an inspection is the safest way to confirm whether a full cleaning is needed.
How do you clean the ducts and what equipment do you use?
Our certified technicians begin by protecting floors and furniture, then place the HVAC system under negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum. We snake rotating brush and air-whip tools through every supply and return run to dislodge contaminants, which are immediately pulled into the sealed vacuum. Registers, grilles, the blower, and the evaporator coil compartment are cleaned, and we finish with an optional EPA-registered sanitizer to inhibit future microbial growth. The entire process follows NADCA standards and leaves no mess in your home.
How long will the service take, and do I need to leave the house?
Most single-family homes in the Jonesborough area take 2–4 hours to clean, depending on square footage, number of registers, and how dirty the system is. You don’t have to leave; our equipment is fully contained and safe to operate while you’re home. We recommend securing pets in a separate room so doors can be kept open for hoses and to minimize stress from noise.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system, family, and pets?
Yes. We use soft-bristle brushes calibrated for metal or flexible ducts, so there’s no risk of damage to the lining or insulation. Our negative-air HEPA vacuums capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, preventing contaminants from escaping into your living space. The optional disinfectant is non-toxic, low-odor, and safe for children, pets, and those with chemical sensitivities. After cleaning, your system runs more efficiently and distributes cleaner, healthier air throughout your home.
