FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my Pelham home?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and construction debris accumulate inside your ductwork. Each time the HVAC system cycles on, those contaminants are circulated through your living spaces, aggravating allergies, reducing indoor air quality, and forcing your heating and cooling equipment to work harder. Having our NADCA-trained technicians clean the ducts removes this buildup, helping your family breathe easier, reducing wear on the blower motor and coils, and keeping your Pelham home’s HVAC system running efficiently year-round.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends having ducts inspected every 2 – 3 years and cleaned every 4 – 5 years for an average household. You may need more frequent service if you have shedding pets, smokers in the home, family members with respiratory issues, recent remodeling projects, or you notice visible dust plumes from the vents. Our technicians can perform a free video-scope inspection to determine whether your ducts need immediate attention or can wait until your next scheduled maintenance cycle.
What signs indicate that my air ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include: 1) excess dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, 2) musty or stale odors when the HVAC system starts, 3) visible dust buildup or mold inside return or supply registers, 4) unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups, 5) uneven airflow or rooms that never reach the set temperature, and 6) a recent pest infestation or water leak in the ductwork. If you notice any of these issues in your Pelham residence, it’s time to call our skilled technicians for an evaluation.
What does your duct cleaning process include?
We follow strict NADCA ACR standards. First, we protect your home with drop cloths and corner guards. Next, a powerful negative-pressure vacuum unit is attached to the trunk lines to pull debris out of the system. While the vacuum is running, we use rotary brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge contaminants from every branch line and register. After cleaning, we sanitize the duct interior with an EPA-approved antimicrobial fog (optional but recommended). Finally, we reinstall registers, test system operation, and provide before-and-after photos so you can see the difference.
How long will a duct cleaning appointment take and will it disrupt my day?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft single-family home in Pelham, a full-system duct cleaning typically takes 2 to 4 hours with a two-person crew. Larger homes or systems with multiple HVAC units may take longer. We schedule appointments at your convenience, and because our vacuum equipment is HEPA-filtered and remains outside or in the garage, noise and dust release inside the home are minimal. You can carry on with most daily activities while we work, though we’ll ask you to keep pets and small children away from our work areas for safety.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing particulate buildup enhances air quality by reducing the load of airborne irritants recirculated throughout your home. Clean ducts also allow conditioned air to move freely, reducing static pressure in the system. Studies show that a clean HVAC system can operate up to 20% more efficiently, which can translate into noticeable savings on your Pelham utility bills. Additionally, reducing strain on components like the blower motor and evaporator coil can extend the lifespan of your heating and air conditioning equipment.
