FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for my Soddy-Daisy home?
Dust, pollen, pet dander, and even construction debris collect inside ductwork over time. Soddy-Daisy’s humid summers can also promote mold growth in dark, damp ducts. When your HVAC system cycles on, these contaminants are blown back into your living spaces, aggravating allergies, reducing indoor air quality, and forcing your equipment to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your family breathe easier and allowing your heating and cooling system to run at peak efficiency.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
Most homeowners benefit from a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years, but frequency can vary. You may need service sooner if you have pets that shed, family members with respiratory issues, recent renovations, or if you’ve moved into an older Soddy-Daisy property with an unknown maintenance history. We’re happy to inspect your ducts and give a personalized recommendation based on system condition, usage, and local environmental factors.
What signs indicate that my ductwork needs cleaning?
Common red flags include visible dust puffing from supply registers, a persistent musty or stale odor when the system runs, unexplained allergy flare-ups, excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, and higher-than-normal energy bills. If you notice uneven airflow or see black streaks around vents, these can also point to heavy particulate buildup or microbial growth inside the ducts.
What is included in Optimal Performance Heating & Air Conditioning’s duct-cleaning service?
Our NADCA-trained technicians start with a camera inspection to assess debris levels and locate problem areas. We then seal registers and create negative pressure in the ductwork with a high-powered HEPA vacuum. Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge dust, while the vacuum pulls contaminants safely outside. We also clean the blower, plenum, and accessible evaporator coil surfaces, sanitize the duct interior with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment, and finish with a post-cleaning video so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. By removing accumulated pollutants, duct cleaning reduces allergen concentrations and airborne microbes, leading to fresher, healthier indoor air. Cleaner ducts also allow conditioned air to move freely, reducing static pressure and strain on blowers and coils. Many customers see a 5–15 % improvement in airflow and a noticeable drop in monthly energy usage after service, especially when combined with a clean filter and routine HVAC maintenance.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take and what should I expect?
Most Soddy-Daisy residences can be completed in 3–5 hours, depending on home size, duct complexity, and contamination level. We ask that you clear access to all vents and the HVAC closet before we arrive. Our technicians lay down protective drop cloths and wear boot covers to keep your home clean. You can remain in the house during the process; noise is similar to a vacuum cleaner. When finished, we review before-and-after images, answer questions, and provide tips for maintaining cleaner air between professional visits.
