FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my home in Ocoee?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores can build up in your HVAC ductwork. In Ocoee’s warm, humid climate, this buildup can not only circulate allergens throughout your home but also stress your heating and cooling system. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping improve indoor air quality, lowering the risk of respiratory irritation, and allowing your HVAC equipment to operate more efficiently.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
For most homes in Central Florida, we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service if you have family members with allergies or asthma, pets that shed heavily, recent remodeling work that created dust, or if you notice visible mold in or around the vents.
What signs indicate that my ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system runs, inconsistent airflow from room to room, visible dust buildup on vent covers, or unexplained increases in energy bills. If you see or smell mold or notice allergy symptoms worsening indoors, schedule an inspection promptly.
What is involved in your duct-cleaning process?
Our certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to assess the condition of your ductwork. We then protect your home’s furnishings, place the system under negative pressure using a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and agitate debris with rotary brushes and compressed-air whips. All contaminants are pulled into a sealed container for safe disposal. Finally, we sanitize the ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment and reinstall clean vent covers.
Can duct cleaning reduce my energy costs?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your heating or cooling equipment to work harder to reach the set temperature. Clean ducts restore proper airflow, enabling your system to run more efficiently. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, keeping HVAC components clean can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%, translating to noticeable savings on your utility bills in Ocoee’s long cooling season.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and my family?
When done by trained professionals like our NADCA-certified team, duct cleaning is completely safe. We use soft-bristle brushes and vacuum equipment specifically designed for HVAC components so there’s no risk of damage. Our antimicrobial treatments are EPA-registered and low-VOC, ensuring they are safe for children, pets, and sensitive individuals when applied according to guidelines.
