FAQs
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system in Reliance?
Professional duct cleaning removes accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants from your air-distribution system. This improves indoor air quality, helps relieve allergy and asthma symptoms, boosts HVAC efficiency by allowing air to flow freely, and can extend the lifespan of your equipment by reducing strain on the blower motor and coils.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my home or business?
For most homes in Reliance, we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if you have pets that shed, occupants with respiratory conditions, recent construction or remodeling work, or you notice visible dust build-up around registers, you may benefit from more frequent cleanings (every 2–3 years). Commercial facilities with higher occupancy or industrial processes often require annual service.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: visible dust puffs when the HVAC turns on, musty or stale odors coming from vents, excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, inconsistent airflow room-to-room, unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups, and evidence of rodent or insect activity in or around ductwork. If you notice any of these, it’s wise to schedule an inspection.
What does Reliance’s duct-cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians start with a camera inspection to locate trouble spots. We then seal all registers and use a powerful negative-pressure vacuum to place the entire system under suction. While the vacuum runs, rotating brushes and high-pressure air whips dislodge debris from supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenums. We clean the blower, evaporator coil housing, and return air boot, then sanitize with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment. Finally, we provide post-cleaning images and a written report.
Will duct cleaning damage my HVAC ducts or release dust into my home?
No. We use industry-standard HEPA-filtered vacuums and soft-bristle agitation tools designed specifically for metal and flexible ductwork. All contaminants are pulled into a sealed collection system, so there is no mess or dust released indoors. Our technicians follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines to ensure your ducts, insulation, and HVAC components remain intact and undamaged.
How much does duct cleaning cost, and what factors affect the price?
Pricing typically ranges from $400–$700 for an average single-family home in Reliance. The exact cost depends on square footage, number of supply and return runs, system accessibility, presence of coil or blower contamination, and whether optional services like dryer-vent cleaning or antimicrobial fogging are requested. We offer free on-site assessments and upfront, itemized quotes with no hidden fees.
