FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system’s performance?
Dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants build up on duct walls over time. When the blower turns on, those particles circulate through your home, forcing the system to work harder to maintain set temperatures. Clean ducts allow conditioned air to move freely, reduce strain on the blower motor, improve indoor air quality, and help your heating and cooling equipment operate at peak efficiency.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning in Madisonville?
For most homes we recommend a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. However, homes with pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling projects, or visible dust around registers may benefit from more frequent cleanings—about every 2–3 years. Our technicians can inspect your ductwork and provide a personalized schedule based on your indoor air quality needs.
What are the common signs that my air ducts need cleaning?
Watch for excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system runs, visible dust buildup on supply or return grilles, worsening allergy or respiratory symptoms, and uneven airflow between rooms. If you notice any of these issues, a duct inspection and cleaning may be warranted.
What is included in your duct cleaning service and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to document buildup and identify problem areas. We then use negative-pressure HEPA vacuums and rotary brush systems to dislodge and extract debris from every supply and return trunk, branch line, and register. We also clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil surface, and accessible plenum boxes. Sanitizing and deodorizing treatments are applied on request. A typical single-family home takes 3–5 hours; larger homes or heavily contaminated systems can take longer.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. Blocked or dirty ducts restrict airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to run longer cycles to reach the thermostat setting. By removing obstructions, we restore optimal airflow and heat transfer, which can reduce energy use by 5–20%, depending on the initial level of restriction and system age. Cleaner ducts also protect key components, reducing repair costs and extending equipment life.
Is duct cleaning safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, preventing contaminants from re-entering your living space. If you opt for sanitizers or deodorizers, we choose EPA-registered, low-VOC products that are safe once they’ve dried—usually within 30 minutes. We also seal every register during cleaning, so your pets and children remain protected from equipment and debris while we work.
