FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Alcoa?
Alcoa’s humid climate can promote mold, dust, and pollen accumulation inside air ducts. Over time these contaminants circulate through your HVAC system, aggravating allergies, reducing airflow, and forcing equipment to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes debris, improves indoor air quality, helps your system run more efficiently, and can extend the life of your heating and cooling equipment.
How do your high-powered vacuums differ from standard duct cleaning tools?
We use truck-mounted vacuums that generate up to 5,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of suction—more than five times the power of portable units. This negative-pressure system pulls dust, debris, and microbial growth out of every branch line while agitation whips dislodge stuck-on buildup. The result is a more thorough cleaning in less time, with no mess left inside your home.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. You may need service more frequently if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling work, or if you notice visible dust blowing from vents. We offer free inspections in Alcoa to determine your specific needs.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. Clean ducts allow air to flow freely, so your furnace and air conditioner don’t have to run as long to reach the set temperature. Studies show that removing heavy buildup and obstructions can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %, translating into noticeable savings on monthly utility costs, especially during Alcoa’s hot summers and chilly winters.
What happens during a duct cleaning appointment?
Our certified technicians arrive in a clearly marked service truck, cover floors and furniture, and seal each register. The high-powered vacuum is attached to the main trunk line, creating a whole-house negative pressure. Rotary brushes and air whips push debris toward the vacuum. After cleaning, we sanitize ducts with an EPA-registered antimicrobial (optional), replace access panels, and perform a final system test. The average home takes 2–4 hours.
Are your technicians certified and insured?
Absolutely. All duct cleaning specialists are NADCA-certified, background-checked, and fully insured for liability and workers’ compensation. We follow strict industry standards and provide a written satisfaction guarantee, so you can feel confident inviting us into your Alcoa home or business.
