FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my home’s indoor air quality?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and other contaminants collect inside your ductwork. Each time the HVAC system cycles on it can recirculate those particles throughout your living space, aggravating allergies, asthma and respiratory symptoms. A thorough duct cleaning removes that buildup, reduces odors, helps your heating and cooling equipment run more efficiently, and delivers cleaner, healthier air to every room.
How often should air ducts be cleaned in the Mulberry area?
Industry guidelines from the National Air Duct Cleaners Association suggest a full cleaning every 3–5 years. However, Mulberry’s warm, humid climate accelerates mold and dust accumulation, so many homes benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. You may need service sooner if you have smokers, multiple pets, recent remodeling, water damage, or family members with allergies or compromised immune systems.
What signs let me know my ducts or HVAC system need to be inspected and cleaned?
Typical red flags include excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, musty or earthy odors when the system starts, visible mold or debris around supply vents, inconsistent airflow room-to-room, unexplained allergy flare-ups, and evidence of insects or rodents inside registers. If you have completed construction or renovation work, the added drywall dust is also a strong indicator that it’s time to schedule a duct cleaning.
What does your professional duct cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians begin with a video inspection to pinpoint trouble spots. We protect floors and furniture, then hook a powerful negative-pressure HEPA vacuum to your trunk lines. Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips agitate and loosen debris, which is pulled directly into a sealed containment unit. Afterward we fog the ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial, clean grilles, registers, the blower compartment and evaporator coil, reseal access panels, and perform a final system performance check. The average Mulberry home takes 2–4 hours, and we leave no mess behind.
Can having my ducts cleaned really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Even a thin film of dust on duct walls and HVAC components restricts airflow and forces blowers and compressors to work harder. Studies show that 0.042" of dirt on evaporator coils can decrease efficiency by up to 21%. After cleaning, air moves freely, the system reaches set temperatures faster, and run times drop—often translating into 5–15% monthly energy savings and less wear on equipment.
Are your duct cleaning methods safe for my family, pets and the HVAC system itself?
Absolutely. We use soft-bristle agitation tools that won’t damage metal or flexible ductwork, and our vacuums are equipped with hospital-grade HEPA filtration to prevent particles from escaping back into the home. The disinfectants we apply are eco-friendly, non-allergenic and listed by the EPA for HVAC use, containing no harsh chemicals or ozone-producing agents. Occupants—including children and pets—can remain in the house during and after the service with complete peace of mind.
