FAQs
Why is professional air-duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Lake City?
Lake City’s humid summers and pollen-heavy springs allow dust, mold spores, and allergens to accumulate quickly inside ductwork. When your HVAC system runs, those contaminants are circulated throughout the building, aggravating allergies, reducing system efficiency, and coating internal components with debris. A professional cleaning removes this buildup with high-powered vacuums and agitation tools, restoring proper airflow, helping the system operate more efficiently, and promoting healthier indoor air for your family, employees, or customers.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
Most Lake City homeowners benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have pets that shed, a recent renovation, occupants with respiratory issues, or you notice excessive dust. Commercial facilities, childcare centers, and medical offices often follow a 1–2-year schedule to comply with indoor-air-quality guidelines. We offer free inspections to determine whether your system is due.
What are the warning signs that my air ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include persistent dust on furniture even after cleaning, musty or moldy odors when the HVAC runs, visible dust buildup on supply registers, uneven airflow between rooms, unexplained increases in energy bills, and allergy or asthma flare-ups indoors. If you remove a register and see a thick layer of lint or debris inside the duct, it’s time to call our team.
What does your duct-cleaning process involve and how long will it take?
1. Inspection & video scope to document conditions. 2. Seal each register, then connect a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine to create strong vacuum pressure. 3. Use rotary brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris while the vacuum extracts it. 4. Clean the blower, evaporator coil, and plenum as needed. 5. Optional EPA-registered sanitizer or deodorizer application. A typical single-family home takes 2–4 hours; larger houses or commercial properties can run 1–2 days. We protect flooring, wear boot covers, and leave the workspace spotless.
Will duct cleaning really improve my indoor air quality and lower energy costs?
Yes. Removing dust, dander, and microbial growth reduces airborne irritants and odors, which is especially beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers. Clean ducts also allow conditioned air to move freely, easing strain on the blower motor. Studies by the EPA and NADCA show that a clean HVAC system can reduce energy consumption by up to 20 %, translating to lower utility bills in Lake City’s long cooling season.
Are your technicians certified and is your work guaranteed?
Absolutely. Every technician on our Lake City duct-cleaning crew is NADCA-certified, background-checked, and trained in OSHA safety practices. We use state-of-the-art equipment and follow the ACR (Assessment, Cleaning & Restoration) Standard. You’ll receive before-and-after photos and a written satisfaction guarantee—if any area was missed, we return at no charge to make it right.
