FAQs

Why is regular duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Rutledge?

Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and other debris build up inside your air ducts. In humid areas like Rutledge, that buildup can mix with moisture and foster mold growth. Professional duct cleaning removes those contaminants, allowing air to flow freely, reducing strain on your heating and cooling equipment, improving indoor air quality, and lowering energy bills.

How often should I schedule duct cleaning?

For most Rutledge households, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may need service every 2–3 years. If you notice visible dust on vents, musty odors, or unexplained allergy flare-ups, schedule sooner.

What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?

Common red flags include excessive dust on supply registers, persistent musty or burnt smells when the HVAC runs, unexplained respiratory irritation, higher than normal energy bills, or visible mold inside the ducts or around vents. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call us.

What is included in your duct cleaning process?

Our certified technicians arrive with negative-air machines, HEPA vacuums, and agitation tools. We: (1) inspect each run with a camera, (2) seal the system to create negative pressure, (3) dislodge debris using rotary brushes and compressed air whips, (4) vacuum all contaminants into a sealed HEPA unit, (5) sanitize with an EPA-registered antimicrobial (optional), and (6) reinstall and clean all registers. A post-clean video lets you see the difference.

How long does professional duct cleaning take and will it disrupt my home?

A typical single-zone home in Rutledge takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or systems with heavy contamination can take up to a full day. We protect floors and furniture, keep doors closed to maintain indoor comfort, and can work around your schedule. Your HVAC can be run immediately after the cleaning is complete.

Are your duct cleaning methods safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, preventing contaminants from re-entering your living space. Our optional sanitizers are EPA-approved for residential use and safe once dry (usually within an hour). We never use harsh chemicals or sealants that produce lingering odors or off-gassing.
