FAQs
What is air duct cleaning and why is it important for my Bristol home?
Air duct cleaning is the thorough removal of dust, allergens, microbial growth, pet dander, and other contaminants that accumulate inside the supply and return air ducts of your heating and air-conditioning system. In Bristol’s damp maritime climate, ducts can harbor mold spores and pollen that aggravate allergies or asthma. Cleaning the ductwork improves indoor air quality, helps your HVAC system operate more efficiently, and can extend equipment life by preventing debris from circulating through the blower and coils.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
Most homes in Bristol benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve recently renovated, have shedding pets, smoke indoors, notice visible mold, or suffer from persistent allergy or respiratory issues. Families with infants, seniors, or immune-compromised members often opt for a shorter 2-year interval to maintain the healthiest air possible.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include: 1) visible dust puffs from supply registers when the HVAC fan turns on, 2) musty or stale odors that don’t go away after replacing filters, 3) hot or cold spots suggesting restricted airflow, 4) an unexplained rise in energy bills, 5) excessive dust buildup on furniture, and 6) recent water damage, vermin activity, or mold growth around vents or inside the air handler.
What does your duct-cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians begin with a video inspection to assess duct condition. We then isolate each branch, create negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and use rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. All contaminants are captured in sealed filtration units so none re-enter your home. We finish with an antimicrobial treatment if requested, reinstall clean vent covers, and provide before/after camera footage so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40 % of energy used for heating or cooling is wasted, largely due to restricted or dirty ductwork forcing the system to work harder. By restoring full airflow, duct cleaning can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %, lowering monthly utility costs and reducing wear on components such as the blower motor and evaporator coil.
