FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Sewanee?
Sewanee’s four-season climate means heating systems work hard in winter and air conditioners run frequently in summer. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores accumulate inside the ductwork. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, improving indoor air quality, helping HVAC equipment operate more efficiently, and reducing the likelihood of allergy or respiratory discomfort for occupants.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
Most industry standards recommend duct cleaning every 3–5 years; however, Sewanee households with pets, recent renovations, smokers, or allergy-sensitive occupants may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. A quick visual inspection (removable vent cover and flashlight) can reveal excessive dust buildup, which is a sign it’s time to call us sooner.
What advanced techniques and equipment do you use during a cleaning?
Our team employs negative-pressure vacuum trucks that create a powerful 5,000+ CFM suction through the entire duct system. We pair this with high-speed rotary brush heads to dislodge stuck debris, and HEPA-filtered containment to keep particulates from re-entering your living space. For microbial or odor issues, we can add an EPA-registered, plant-based sanitizer fogged throughout the ducts for complete coverage.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40 % of energy used for heating or cooling is wasted when ducts are dirty or restricted. Removing buildup allows air to flow freely, so your furnace or AC doesn’t have to run as long to reach the set temperature. Customers in Sewanee often see 5–15 % reductions in monthly utility costs after a thorough cleaning and filter change.
Is the process messy or disruptive to my home?
Not at all. Before starting, our technicians lay down protective floor coverings, seal each vent, and connect the vacuum hose at the main trunk line. Dust is drawn directly into the sealed collection unit outside, and all registers are wiped clean afterward. A typical 2,000 sq ft home takes 2–4 hours, and you can remain in the house while we work.
How do I prepare and how can I schedule an appointment in Sewanee?
Simply clear access to vents and the HVAC equipment—moving small furniture or fragile items away from registers. Make sure pets are secured.
