FAQs
What is sanitizing mist duct cleaning and how does it work?
Sanitizing mist duct cleaning is a two-step service. First, our technicians use high-powered vacuums and rotary brushes to remove accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, and debris from the supply and return ductwork. Once the ducts are physically clean, we fog the entire system with an EPA-registered disinfectant in a fine mist. The mist coats the interior surfaces of the ducts, evaporator coil, and blower housing, killing up to 99.9 % of bacteria, mold spores, and viruses while neutralizing odors. The product dries quickly and leaves no residue, so your system can be turned back on within 30–60 minutes of application.
Why is sanitizing mist important for my HVAC system in Clairfield?
Clairfield’s warm, humid summers and seasonal temperature swings create ideal conditions for microbial growth inside HVAC ductwork. When mold or bacteria thrive in the ducts, your system circulates contaminated air throughout the home, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. A sanitizing mist service not only removes the physical dust that restricts airflow and drives up energy bills, it also disinfects the hidden surfaces you can’t reach yourself. The result is cleaner indoor air, fewer odors, and a more efficient HVAC system—benefits that are especially valuable during high-pollen spring months and peak cooling season in Clairfield.
How often should I schedule a duct cleaning and sanitizing mist service?
Most Clairfield homeowners benefit from a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years, but the ideal frequency depends on your living situation. You may need service sooner if: • You’ve recently completed a renovation or new-construction project. • You have pets that shed heavily. • A household member has asthma, severe allergies, or immune sensitivities. • You notice persistent musty odors or visible mold around vents. After an initial cleaning, many clients choose an annual or bi-annual sanitizing mist treatment to keep microbial growth in check between deep cleanings.
Is the sanitizer safe for my family, pets, and HVAC components?
Yes. We use a hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant specifically approved for HVAC applications. It is non-corrosive, contains no bleach or harsh solvents, and is rated Category IV (the lowest toxicity level) by the EPA. When applied as a fog, it breaks down into water and oxygen within minutes, leaving no sticky residue on coils, motors, or duct liners. People and pets can re-enter treated areas about one hour after application, once the mist has dried and the HVAC system has cycled fresh air through the home.
What signs suggest I need HVAC duct cleaning and sanitizing?
Common indicators include: • Visible dust puffs or black streaks around supply registers. • Musty or sour odors when the system starts. • Unexplained allergy flare-ups or respiratory discomfort indoors. • Noticeable reduction in airflow or hot/cold spots in rooms. • Recent water damage, smoke exposure, or pest infestation in the ductwork. • It has been more than five years since the last professional cleaning. If you experience any of these problems, schedule an inspection. We offer no-obligation camera surveys so you can see the inside of your ducts before committing to service.
What can I expect during your duct cleaning and sanitizing mist appointment in Clairfield?
A standard visit takes 2–4 hours for an average single-family residence: 1. Arrival & setup – We protect floors with drop cloths and seal each vent to create the negative pressure needed for debris removal. 2. Source removal – A powerful HEPA vacuum truck attaches to the main trunk line while rotary brush whips loosen contaminants. 3. System components – We clean the blower, evaporator coil housing, drain pan, and return box. 4. Sanitizing mist – After the ducts are debris-free, we fog the disinfectant through the supply plenum while the blower circulates it. 5. Post-clean verification – We perform a visual camera inspection, re-install vent covers, and leave you with before-and-after images plus a written service report. You’ll enjoy fresher air, improved HVAC efficiency, and peace of mind knowing your family is breathing cleaner air in your Clairfield home.
