FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for my Apison home?
Over time dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and even construction debris can accumulate inside your supply and return ductwork. Each heating or cooling cycle pushes those contaminants back into the living space, aggravating allergies, reducing equipment efficiency, and shortening filter life. A professional cleaning removes the buildup, helping your HVAC system move air more freely, lowering energy bills, and giving you noticeably cleaner, healthier indoor air—especially valuable during Apison’s high-pollen springs and humid summers.
How often should I have my ducts cleaned?
Most Apison homeowners benefit from a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed a renovation, notice visible dust around vents, have shedding pets, or someone in the household suffers from asthma or severe allergies. Newly built homes often need a post-construction cleaning within the first year because sawdust and drywall dust settle in the ducts during construction.
What signs tell me my ducts need attention?
Common red flags include: persistent musty or dusty odors when the system runs, visible dust “puffs” coming from registers, unexplained allergy flare-ups, inconsistent airflow between rooms, higher utility bills even after filter changes, or visible mold inside vent covers. If you remove a register and see matted dust or debris clinging to the metal, it’s time to call a professional.
What does your professional duct-cleaning service include?
We begin with a camera inspection to evaluate the condition of your entire duct network. After sealing each register, we connect a high-powered negative-pressure vacuum to the trunk line to capture loosened debris. Agitation tools—rotating brushes and compressed-air whips—scrub every branch and main duct. We then sanitize with an EPA-approved antimicrobial fog (optional) to inhibit mold and bacteria. Finally, we clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil, and change or wash the air filter before presenting before-and-after photos so you can see the difference.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Independent studies show that clean ducts can reduce airborne particulate levels by up to 30%, leading to fewer allergy triggers and less household dusting. Removing obstructions also restores proper airflow, allowing your furnace or air-handler fan to work less hard. Many customers in Apison report a 5–10% drop in heating and cooling costs after a cleaning, especially when combined with routine filter changes and annual HVAC tune-ups.
How long does the service take, and do I need to prepare anything?
Most single-family homes in the Apison area take 2–4 hours, while larger houses or systems with multiple units may take up to 6 hours. Before our team arrives, please clear a path to every supply and return register, move fragile items away from work areas, and secure pets. You do not need to leave the home; our equipment is HEPA-filtered and safe to operate indoors. Once finished, you can run your heating or cooling system immediately.
