FAQs
Why should I have my air-duct system cleaned?
Dust, pollen, mould spores, pet dander, and other pollutants accumulate inside ductwork over time. When your furnace or air-conditioner runs, these contaminants are blown back into your living spaces, aggravating allergies, reducing HVAC efficiency, and creating musty odours. A thorough duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping you breathe cleaner air, protecting HVAC components, and potentially lowering energy costs.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning for homes in Lancing?
For most homes in Lancing, a professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years is sufficient. However, you may need more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have pets that shed, residents with respiratory issues, recent renovation work, or notice visible mould growth. After major projects or flooding, an immediate inspection is advised to prevent moisture-related contamination.
What warning signs indicate my ducts need to be cleaned?
Common red flags include excessive dust on furniture soon after cleaning, musty or stale odours when the HVAC system starts, visible dust puffs coming from supply registers, inconsistent airflow between rooms, unexplained respiratory irritation, and evidence of rodent or insect activity in the ductwork. If you spot any of these issues, schedule an inspection.
What does your professional duct-cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive with high-powered negative-pressure vacuums and rotary brush systems. We: (1) inspect supply and return ducts, (2) protect flooring and furnishings, (3) cut access ports for full-system reach, (4) dislodge debris with agitation tools, (5) capture contaminants with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, (6) sanitize ducts with an EPA-approved solution if requested, (7) clean grilles, registers, and blower components, and (8) reseal and test the system. A detailed report and before/after photos are provided.
Will duct cleaning improve my home’s energy efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing accumulated debris allows air to flow freely, so your furnace or AC doesn’t work as hard to reach set temperatures—often cutting energy use by 5–15%. Cleaner ducts also reduce airborne pollutants, which can relieve asthma or allergy symptoms and eliminate musty smells. While results vary, most homeowners notice cleaner air, fewer dust deposits, and more consistent room temperatures.
How long will the cleaning take, and will it disrupt my household?
A typical three-bedroom home in Lancing takes 2–4 hours to complete, depending on duct length, contamination level, and system complexity. During cleaning, the HVAC blower is off, but we can segment work to keep discomfort minimal. Our technicians use sealed vacuum systems and drop cloths to keep debris contained, and you can remain in the house throughout the process.
