FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Northeast Ohio’s climate?
Greater Cleveland experiences humid summers, frigid winters, and long pollen seasons. Dust, pet dander, mold spores, and salt-rich winter debris accumulate in the ductwork, forcing your furnace or air-conditioning blower to work harder and circulating irritants throughout the house. Professional duct cleaning removes those contaminants, helping the HVAC system run more efficiently, reducing wear on components, and promoting healthier indoor air all year.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning in Cleveland?
Most homes benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, Clevelanders who have pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, homes that have undergone recent remodeling, or households located near heavy traffic or Lake-effect construction dust may need service every 2–3 years. If you notice visible dust at supply vents, persistent musty odors, or unexplained increases in energy bills, schedule an inspection sooner.
What are common signs my air ducts need cleaning?
• Dust puffs or dark streaks around registers • Musty or stale odors when the furnace or AC starts • Increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors • Uneven airflow or rooms that never seem to reach set temperature • Recent water damage, rodent activity, or a home renovation • Higher utility bills despite routine HVAC filter changes
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. The EPA states that duct cleaning can reduce airborne pollutants when substantial contamination is present. By removing debris that restricts airflow, the blower motor runs with less resistance, often cutting energy use by 5–15%. Cleaner ducts also keep new air filters from clogging prematurely, allowing the HVAC system to maintain designed airflow and comfort with less cycling.
What does your Cleveland duct cleaning service include?
1. Free on-site inspection with video scope to verify debris levels. 2. Protection of floors and furnishings with drop cloths and corner guards. 3. Connection of a powerful negative-air HEPA vacuum to the main trunk line to place the ductwork under continuous suction. 4. Agitation of every supply and return run using rotary brushes and compressed-air whips. 5. Sanitizing mist (EPA-registered) applied if mold or bacterial growth is detected. 6. Cleaning of the furnace blower, evaporator coil housing, and return plenum. 7. Final video verification and written report, plus recommendations for filter upgrades or UV lights when appropriate.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and my home?
Absolutely—when performed by NADCA-certified technicians like ours. We use soft, nylon-bristle brushes sized for your duct diameter, avoiding metal scraping that can damage duct walls. Negative-air machines with HEPA filtration prevent loosened debris from re-entering the living space, and all access holes are sealed with code-approved plates after service. Our team is fully insured, background-checked, and follows COVID-19 safety protocols for your peace of mind.
