FAQs
Why should I have my HVAC ducts professionally cleaned with high-powered vacuums?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and other contaminants accumulate inside ductwork. High-powered vacuums create strong negative pressure that dislodges and extracts this debris safely into sealed containment, preventing it from circulating back into your home. Professional cleaning improves indoor air quality, helps HVAC equipment run more efficiently, and can lower energy bills.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning in the Bristol area?
For most homes and businesses in Bristol, we suggest a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have pets that shed, recent renovations, smokers in the building, visible mould growth, or occupants with asthma or severe allergies. We offer free inspections to help determine the ideal schedule for your property.
Will duct cleaning damage my heating or air-conditioning system?
No. Our technicians follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines and use soft-bristle agitation tools combined with HEPA-filtered, truck-mounted vacuums. This method removes contaminants without scratching or denting duct walls, registers or mechanical components. We also seal access points after cleaning to restore your system’s integrity.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take?
A standard three-bedroom home in Bristol usually requires 2–4 hours. Larger homes, commercial premises, or ducts with heavy contamination can take longer. Before starting, our team performs a walkthrough and provides a time estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
What should I do to prepare my home or business for duct cleaning?
Please clear access to air vents, return grills, and the HVAC unit so our technicians can set up hoses and vacuum equipment. Remove fragile items from nearby shelves or furniture. If you have pets, securing them in a separate room reduces stress and keeps entryways clear. We supply drop cloths and corner guards to protect floors and walls.
Is duct cleaning worth it if I already change my air filters regularly?
Replacing filters is essential, but it only captures particles that pass through the filter slot. Dust and allergens that settle on duct walls or build up downstream of the filter still circulate when the system runs. Professional duct cleaning addresses the entire network of supply and return ducts, as well as the blower, coils and plenum, giving you a deeper level of cleanliness and efficiency than filter changes alone.
