FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for homes in Sharps Chapel?
Sharps Chapel’s humid subtropical climate means HVAC systems often run year-round. Over time, dust, pet dander, mold spores, and pollen settle in the ductwork and recirculate through your living space, stressing the system and aggravating allergies. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping your HVAC equipment operate more efficiently, extending its lifespan, and improving indoor air quality.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned for optimal HVAC performance?
Most homeowners benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve completed a remodeling project, recently moved into an older home, have shedding pets, experience unexplained allergy flare-ups, or have noticed visible mold inside vents. A quick inspection by our Sharps Chapel technicians can confirm if cleaning is due.
What steps are involved in your duct-cleaning process?
1) Pre-inspection: We photograph interior duct surfaces and measure airflow. 2) Protection: Supply and return registers are sealed to maintain negative pressure, and floor coverings are laid to protect your home. 3) Source removal: A high-powered HEPA vacuum and rotating brush system dislodge and extract debris all the way to the air handler. 4) Sanitizing (optional): EPA-approved antimicrobial mist is applied to kill lingering bacteria or mold. 5) Post-inspection: We show before/after photos and retest airflow so you can see the difference immediately.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 20–30 % of the air that moves through a typical home’s duct system is lost to leaks, dirt, and obstructions. By clearing blockages and identifying leaks while we clean, we restore proper airflow. Many customers report 5–15 % savings on heating and cooling costs after service, particularly during Sharps Chapel’s hot summers when AC usage peaks.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for my appointment?
Please clear access to all supply and return vents, the furnace or air-handler closet, and the main trunk line areas (often in crawl spaces or attics). Secure pets, and plan for a 2–4-hour service window for an average-size home. If you have special filtration equipment or UV lights installed, let our technician know so we can protect or remove them during cleaning.
What other HVAC services complement duct cleaning for maximum comfort and efficiency?
Pairing duct cleaning with a full HVAC tune-up—filter replacement, refrigerant level check, thermostat calibration, and blower motor inspection—ensures the entire system operates at peak efficiency. Sealing and insulating ducts, installing a high-MERV filter, or adding a whole-home dehumidifier can further improve air quality and comfort, especially in Sharps Chapel’s muggy summers.
