FAQs
Why should I have my heating and air-conditioning ducts cleaned?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and other contaminants collect on the inside surfaces of your supply and return ducts. Each time the system runs, some of that debris is recirculated through your home, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues, coating furniture with fine dust and forcing the blower motor to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes those build-ups, improving indoor air quality, restoring proper airflow and helping your HVAC equipment run more efficiently and last longer.
How often do homes in Lancing typically need their ducts cleaned?
For most households in West Sussex, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may benefit from more frequent service—every 2–3 years—if you have pets that shed, family members with asthma or allergies, recent renovation work, or if you notice visible dust coming from the vents. Because Lancing’s coastal climate can be damp, we also advise homeowners to schedule an inspection sooner if they suspect mould growth in the ductwork.
What steps are involved in your professional duct cleaning process?
1. Pre-inspection: A certified technician arrives on time, walks through your property, checks vent locations and uses a video-scope to assess contamination levels inside the ductwork. 2. System protection: We lay down drop cloths, seal the supply and return grills as needed and place your HVAC system under negative pressure with a high-powered vacuum mounted outside the home. 3. Agitation and extraction: Special rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge debris, which is immediately pulled into the HEPA-filtered vacuum so nothing escapes into your living space. 4. Optional sanitising: If requested, we fog an eco-friendly antimicrobial solution to neutralise odours and inhibit mould and bacteria. 5. Final inspection & report: We show you before-and-after camera footage, reinstall vent covers and leave the work area spotless.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes—clean ductwork allows conditioned air to travel with less resistance, letting your fan motor move the same volume of air while consuming less electricity. Research by the U.S. Department of Energy shows that 25–40 % of heating and cooling energy can be wasted when systems are dirty or poorly maintained. After a professional cleaning, many Lancing customers report their HVAC system cycles on and off less frequently, saving 5–15 % on seasonal energy costs and reducing wear on expensive components like blowers and heat exchangers.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take, and do I need to leave my home?
A standard three-bedroom semi-detached property in Lancing usually takes 2–3 hours to complete; larger homes or ducts with excessive contamination may require up to half a day. You are welcome to stay on site—our negative-pressure containment system keeps dust from entering living areas and we work quietly with minimal disruption. If you work from home, just let us know which rooms you need kept free during certain times and we will schedule our work sequence accordingly.
How much does duct cleaning cost in Lancing and what affects the price?
Our pricing is transparent and based primarily on the number of vents, the length of duct runs and the current condition of the system. For most homes in BN15 postcodes, prices start from £199 including VAT for up to 10 vents, with an average total of £250–£350 for a full-size family home. Factors that can raise the cost include multiple HVAC systems, inaccessible attic or crawl-space ducts, heavy mould remediation or requests for optional antimicrobial treatments. Before any work begins, we provide a fixed written quotation and there are never hidden fees.
