FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Pelham?
Because Pelham experiences hot, humid summers and cool winters, HVAC systems can run almost year-round. Dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores accumulate in the ductwork, forcing the equipment to work harder and circulating contaminants throughout the building. A thorough duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your system maintain peak efficiency, lowering utility costs, and reducing allergy and asthma triggers for healthier indoor air.
What advanced technology do you use during a duct-cleaning service?
Our crews employ high-resolution robotic inspection cameras to document the inside of every trunk and branch line. Once problem areas are identified, we attach HEPA-filtered negative-air machines that place the entire duct system under powerful vacuum. Agitation tools—such as air whips, rotary brushes, and compressed-air skipper balls—dislodge debris without damaging the duct walls. After the cleaning, we can fog an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to inhibit future microbial growth and leave the ducts smelling fresh.
How often should I have my ducts cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a professional cleaning every 3–5 years for most properties. Pelham homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with respiratory issues may benefit from more frequent service—closer to every 2–3 years. Commercial and light-industrial facilities should follow an annual inspection schedule and clean as conditions warrant.
What signs indicate my ducts need attention right away?
Common red flags include: noticeable dust buildup on vents shortly after cleaning, musty or smoky odors whenever the system runs, uneven airflow between rooms, unexplained spikes in energy bills, visible mold growth inside supply or return registers, recent water damage, or hearing rattling debris in the ductwork. If you observe any of these conditions, schedule an inspection as soon as possible.
How long will the duct-cleaning process take and what should I expect?
A typical single-family home in Pelham takes 3–5 hours, while larger residences or commercial spaces may require a full day. Our technicians start by protecting floors and furnishings, then remove and clean all supply and return grilles. After creating access ports, they connect the negative-air machine and systematically agitate and vacuum each run. We finish by sealing access points, re-installing grilles, and providing before-and-after photos or video so you can see the results.
Is modern duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and will it really improve efficiency?
Yes. All tools are designed for use in sheet-metal, flex, and fiberglass ducts without causing tears or dislodging insulation. Because we maintain continuous negative pressure, dislodged particles go directly into a sealed HEPA unit instead of your living space. Removing debris improves airflow up to 25 %, allowing your blower motor to operate with less strain. In many Pelham homes, customers report energy savings of 5–15 % and noticeably cleaner indoor air within days.
