FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for homes in Tellico Plains?
Tellico Plains experiences a mix of humid summers and cool, pollen-heavy springs. Over time, moisture, dust, and allergens build up inside ductwork, reducing indoor air quality and forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping prevent mold growth, reducing allergy triggers, and extending the life of your heating and air conditioning equipment.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
Most households benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies or asthma, recent renovations, or if you notice excessive dust in your Tellico Plains home, you may need service more frequently—about every 2 years. A quick inspection by our technicians can confirm the right interval for your situation.
What signs indicate that my air ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include visible dust blowing from supply vents, musty odors when the HVAC system runs, unexplained spikes in energy bills, frequent allergy flare-ups, or finding dust around vent grilles soon after cleaning. If you’ve discovered mold near vents or have had a rodent or insect infestation, schedule duct cleaning immediately.
What is included in your duct cleaning service?
Our NADCA-certified team begins with a camera inspection to locate buildup. We then use high-powered negative-air machines and rotary brushing tools to dislodge debris. All supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, and the main trunk line are cleaned. We also sanitize with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment upon request and finish with a post-clean video so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your blower motor and compressor to run longer to reach the thermostat set point. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that clean ducts and filters can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20%. While savings vary, many Tellico Plains customers report noticeable drops in monthly utility costs after a thorough duct cleaning.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and will it disrupt my home?
Most single-family homes in Tellico Plains take 2–4 hours to complete. Larger homes or systems with heavy buildup may take up to a full day. Our technicians lay down protective coverings, seal the work area, and use containment equipment so dust doesn’t spread. Your HVAC system will be off only during the actual cleaning of each section, so household comfort and daily routines experience minimal disruption.
