FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by Reliance?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork. Reliance uses industry-certified technicians, high-powered negative-air machines, and HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove these pollutants safely and thoroughly. A professional cleaning from Reliance helps protect your family’s respiratory health, maintains system efficiency, and prolongs the life of your furnace and air conditioner.
How often should residential HVAC ducts be serviced?
For most homes we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies or asthma, recent renovations that generated a lot of dust, or if you live in an area with heavy outdoor pollen or construction. Reliance offers free inspections to help you decide the ideal cleaning interval for your specific home and lifestyle.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust build-up on supply vents, unexplained spikes in allergy or asthma symptoms, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system runs, inconsistent airflow from room to room, or a recent pest infestation or water leak. If you notice any of these issues, scheduling an inspection with Reliance can determine whether duct cleaning is the solution.
What is included in Reliance's professional duct cleaning service?
Our technicians begin with a camera inspection to assess duct condition. We then seal the system, create negative air pressure, and agitate debris using rotating brushes and compressed-air whips. All contaminants are captured in a HEPA-filtered vacuum. We also clean supply and return registers, the blower compartment, and, upon request, apply an EPA-approved sanitizer. Before leaving, we conduct a final camera check and provide you with before-and-after images for peace of mind.
Will duct cleaning improve my home's air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing built-up dust, allergens, and microbial growth can significantly lower airborne particulate levels, which is especially beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers. Clean ducts also allow air to flow more freely, reducing strain on your furnace and air conditioner. Studies show that a clean HVAC system can operate up to 20 % more efficiently, potentially lowering utility bills and extending equipment life.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
Most single-family homes take 2–4 hours to complete, depending on size, duct complexity, and contamination level. Before our crew arrives, please clear access to all vents, the furnace/air-handler, and the main return grille. Secure pets and remove fragile items near work areas. Our team will protect flooring with drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and review the entire process with you before starting. After completion, you can run your HVAC system immediately.
