FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Petros?
Petros experiences a mix of humid summers and chilly winters, which means HVAC systems run almost year-round. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores can accumulate inside the ductwork. This buildup can restrict airflow, force your heating or cooling equipment to work harder, and distribute allergens throughout your indoor space. A professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping your system operate at peak efficiency, lowering utility costs, and supporting healthier indoor air quality.
How often should my air ducts be cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning ducts every 3–5 years for most homes. However, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies or asthma, recent renovations, or notice visible dust buildup around vents. For commercial properties or rental cabins that see high turnover, an annual inspection—and cleaning as needed—keeps the HVAC system efficient and occupants comfortable.
What are the signs that my ductwork needs cleaning?
Common warning signs include: • Visible dust plumes or debris blowing from supply registers • Musty or stale odors when the HVAC system starts • Uneven heating or cooling, indicating restricted airflow • Increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors • A recent construction or remodeling project that generated dust • Higher-than-normal energy bills with no other obvious cause. If you notice one or more of these issues, scheduling a duct inspection is a smart first step.
What does Peak Efficiency’s duct cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a video-scope inspection to identify problem areas. We then seal each register, place the system under negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and use rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris from both supply and return trunks. We finish by sanitizing the ductwork with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment, cleaning the blower compartment, and replacing the air filter. Before and after images are provided so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing airflow restrictions lets your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner move air more freely, reducing run times and energy consumption—often by 10–20 %. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer airborne particulates circulating through your home, which can reduce allergy triggers and dust accumulation on furniture. While results vary by system condition, many Petros customers notice a fresher smell and less dusting within days of service.
How long does duct cleaning take, and do I need to leave the house?
A typical single-family home in Petros takes 2–4 hours to complete, while larger homes or commercial buildings can take a full day. You can stay in the building during the service; our containment methods keep dust from entering the living space, and all equipment is designed for indoor use. We ask that you secure pets and provide clear access to each vent and the HVAC unit so we can work efficiently.
