FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Calhoun?
Calhoun’s mix of humid summers and pollen-heavy spring seasons means airborne contaminants such as dust, mold spores, pet dander, and allergens collect quickly inside ductwork. When your HVAC system cycles, those particles circulate through every room, aggravating allergies, reducing system efficiency, and coating interior surfaces. A professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your heating and cooling equipment run more smoothly, lowering energy costs, extending equipment life, and creating a healthier indoor environment for your family, employees, or customers.
How often should I have my HVAC ducts cleaned in Calhoun’s climate?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years for most properties. In Calhoun, we often suggest the shorter end of that range—around every 3 years—because our humid summers encourage mold growth and our high pollen counts increase debris accumulation. You may need more frequent cleanings (every 2 years) if you have pets that shed, household members with respiratory issues, recent renovations, or if you notice visible dust blowing from registers.
What are the signs that my ductwork needs professional cleaning?
Common indicators include: • Visible dust puffs or debris exiting supply vents when the system starts • Musty or stale odors coming from vents • Excessive dust settling on furniture shortly after cleaning • Inconsistent airflow or hot/cold spots • An unexplained rise in energy bills • Allergy or asthma symptoms that improve when you leave the building • Evidence of pests, water damage, or visible mold inside duct runs or on vent covers. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection to determine whether a full cleaning is necessary.
What is included in your professional duct-cleaning service?
Our NADCA-certified team follows a strict, multi-step process: 1. Pre-inspection using cameras to document the interior condition of your ducts. 2. Protecting floors, furniture, and registers with drop cloths and corner guards. 3. Connecting a high-capacity HEPA vacuum to create negative pressure, preventing contaminants from escaping into living spaces. 4. Agitating and dislodging debris with rotary brushes, compressed-air whips, and specialized agitation tools. 5. Cleaning all supply and return trunks, branch lines, registers, grilles, and the air handler (blower, coils, drain pan, and cabinet). 6. Applying an EPA-approved sanitizer or mold inhibitor if requested. 7. Post-cleaning camera verification and a written report so you can see the before-and-after results.
Will duct cleaning really improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Independent studies show that removing built-up debris from ductwork can reduce airborne particulate matter by up to 30% immediately after service. Cleaner ducts mean cleaner coils and a freer airflow path, which can lower system strain and cut energy consumption by 5–15%. Customers frequently report fewer allergy flare-ups, less household dust, and more consistent temperatures throughout their building following a professional cleaning.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
Most single-family homes in Calhoun require 3–5 hours, while larger homes or commercial properties can take a full day or more. Before our crew arrives, please: • Clear a path to every vent, the air handler, and the main utility closet. • Secure pets in a safe area. • Plan to keep the HVAC off during the service window. • Inform us of any special concerns (asthma sufferers, fragile furniture, recent pest treatments). We handle the rest—bringing power, compressed air, and containment equipment necessary to leave your space as clean (or cleaner) than we found it.
