FAQs
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my Kelso home?
For most Kelso households, professional duct cleaning is recommended every 3–5 years. However, if you have family members with allergies, pets that shed, recent remodeling projects, or notice excessive dust buildup, you may benefit from more frequent cleanings—every 2–3 years.
What indoor air quality issues can dirty ducts cause?
Dusty or contaminated ductwork can circulate allergens (pollen, pet dander), mold spores, and bacteria throughout your living spaces. This can aggravate asthma, trigger allergy symptoms, create musty odors, and reduce overall HVAC efficiency, leading to higher energy bills.
Will duct cleaning improve the efficiency of my heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. Removing debris, dust, and obstructions from supply and return ducts lets conditioned air flow freely. This reduces strain on your furnace and AC blower motor, helps the system reach the thermostat set-point faster, and can lower energy consumption by up to 10–20% depending on the level of buildup.
How long does a typical duct cleaning service take for a standard Kelso home?
A full-home duct cleaning generally takes 2–4 hours, depending on the size of the home, the number of vents, and the complexity of the ductwork. Larger homes or systems with severe contamination may require additional time.
Is duct cleaning messy? Will it leave dust in my house?
Professional contractors use negative-air machines and HEPA-filtered vacuums that create a sealed, negative pressure in the duct system. This prevents loosened dust and debris from escaping into your living areas. Technicians also cover vents, use drop cloths, and clean up thoroughly, so your home is left as clean—or cleaner—than before the service.
Why choose a local Kelso HVAC company for duct cleaning instead of a national chain?
Local Kelso HVAC professionals understand the Pacific Northwest climate, common regional pollutants (like fir and alder pollen), and local building codes. They rely on community reputation, offer quicker response times, and can bundle duct cleaning with furnace or heat pump tune-ups to ensure your entire HVAC system is optimized for Kelso’s damp winters and mild summers.
