FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my Rockford home?
Rockford’s four-season climate means your HVAC system runs almost year-round. Dust, pet dander, construction debris, and Midwest pollen can accumulate in the ductwork and get recirculated every time the furnace or air conditioner cycles on. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping your system move air more freely, lowering wear on the blower motor, reducing allergy triggers, and supporting a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.
How often should I schedule air-duct cleaning?
Most Rockford homeowners benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need it more frequently if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling projects, or if you notice visible dust buildup or musty odors. New home purchases are also a good time to start with a freshly cleaned system.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include: excessive dust on vents and furniture shortly after cleaning, unexplained allergy flare-ups, musty or burnt smells when the HVAC starts, visible mold inside registers, inconsistent airflow from room to room, and rattling noises caused by debris in the duct runs. If you see or smell any of these, a professional inspection is recommended.
What does your Rockford duct-cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to document conditions. We seal the registers, place the ductwork under negative pressure with a HEPA vacuum, and use rotating brushes and high-pressure air whips to dislodge contaminants. We also clean supply and return plenums, grills, and the blower compartment, and apply an EPA-approved sanitizing mist if requested. Before-and-after images are provided so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills or improve HVAC performance?
Yes. Removing built-up dust and debris allows air to move more freely, meaning your furnace and air conditioner don’t have to work as hard to reach the set temperature. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, clean systems can operate up to 20 % more efficiently. You may notice quicker heating and cooling cycles, more even room temperatures, and prolonged equipment life.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take, and how should I prepare?
Most single-family homes in Rockford take 2–4 hours, depending on square footage and the number of registers. Larger homes or homes with multiple HVAC systems can take a bit longer. To prepare, please clear access to all vents and the furnace area, secure pets, and make sure an adult is present to walk through the pre- and post-inspection with the technician. The process is safe for occupants, and you can stay in the home while we work.
