FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Bean Station?
Bean Station’s mix of hot, humid summers and cool winters means your HVAC system runs almost year-round. Dust, pollen, mold spores, and even insects can accumulate in the ductwork, restricting airflow, forcing your system to work harder, and circulating contaminants through your home. Professional duct cleaning removes these deposits, helping your equipment last longer, lowering utility bills, and keeping the air you breathe cleaner.
How often should my home’s air ducts be cleaned?
Industry guidelines suggest every 3–5 years for an average residence, but frequency can vary. If your household includes pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling projects, or if you burn wood or use fuel-burning appliances, you may benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. After a flood, fire, or suspected mold growth, schedule service immediately.
What signs indicate that I need duct cleaning?
Common red flags include visible dust puffs from supply vents, musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs, uneven airflow, unexplained allergy flare-ups, excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, rattling or whistling noises in the ductwork, or evidence of rodents or insects. If you notice any of these, an inspection can confirm whether a full cleaning is warranted.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to document debris levels. We protect your floors and furnishings, then place the system under negative pressure with a high-capacity HEPA vacuum. Agitation tools (rotary brushes and compressed-air whips) dislodge build-up on duct walls, registers, and trunk lines. We also clean the blower, evaporator coil, and accessible furnace components, then sanitize ducts with an EPA-registered antimicrobial upon request. A post-cleaning camera sweep verifies the results.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing accumulated dust, dander, and biological contaminants reduces airborne particles that can aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions. Clear ducts restore proper airflow, allowing your HVAC system to reach set temperatures quicker and cycle off sooner, which can cut energy consumption by 5–15%. Cleaner coils and blower components also improve heat transfer and cooling efficiency.
How long does duct cleaning take and will it disrupt my home?
Most single-family homes in Bean Station require 3–5 hours, depending on square footage, number of vents, and level of contamination. We coordinate a convenient appointment time, and your HVAC system is shut down only during the cleaning process. Furniture may need slight repositioning for vent access, but we restore everything before departure. Because we use negative-pressure equipment with HEPA filtration, there’s minimal dust released into occupied spaces, so you can stay home safely throughout the service.
