FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Pelham?
Pelham’s warm, humid summers and cool winters mean HVAC systems run almost year-round. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and construction debris accumulate in the ductwork. These contaminants can circulate through your living or working space, aggravate allergies, reduce indoor air quality, and force your HVAC equipment to work harder. A professional cleaning removes those pollutants, helping you breathe cleaner air while lowering strain on the system.
How often should I schedule a duct cleaning service?
For most Pelham properties, we recommend a full cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed renovations, have multiple pets, smoke indoors, notice visible mold, or suffer from persistent allergy or respiratory issues. New homeowners should also consider an inspection to establish a clean baseline.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include excessive dust buildup on vents, musty or stale odors when the HVAC starts, unexplained allergy flare-ups, visible mold inside supply registers, uneven airflow between rooms, and higher-than-normal utility bills. If you notice any of these, book an inspection to confirm whether a cleaning is warranted.
What happens during a professional duct cleaning appointment?
Our certified technicians begin with a camera inspection of your ductwork. We then isolate each section, create negative air pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and dislodge debris using rotating brushes and compressed air whips. Registers, grilles, the blower compartment, and the evaporator coil are also cleaned. Once finished, we sanitize the ducts with an EPA-approved solution and provide before-and-after photos for your records.
Will duct cleaning disrupt my day or make a mess in my home?
No. The average Pelham residence takes 3–5 hours, and commercial spaces vary by size. Our equipment remains outside or in the mechanical room, and we protect floors, walls, and furniture with drop cloths and corner guards. Because we maintain negative pressure inside the ducts, loosened debris is captured directly into sealed HEPA filtration units—nothing is released into your indoor environment.
Can clean ducts really reduce energy bills and extend HVAC life?
Absolutely. Even a 0.05-inch film of dust on duct surfaces can cut airflow by up to 10 percent, forcing the blower motor and compressor to run longer to reach your thermostat setting. By restoring unrestricted airflow, duct cleaning can improve system efficiency by 5–15 percent, which translates to lower monthly utility costs and less wear on critical components such as the blower motor, heat exchanger, and evaporator coil. Over time, this preventive maintenance helps prolong equipment life and reduces the likelihood of costly repairs.
