FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for indoor air quality in Cookeville?
Over time, heating and cooling ducts collect dust, pet dander, pollen, and even mold spores common to Cookeville’s humid climate. Every time your HVAC system cycles on, these contaminants can be circulated throughout your home, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, allowing you to breathe fresher, healthier air while helping your HVAC system operate more efficiently.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my home?
For most Cookeville homes, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve completed a major renovation, own shedding pets, notice musty odors, or any household members suffer from severe allergies or asthma. Annual HVAC inspections can help determine the ideal cleaning frequency for your specific situation.
What signs indicate it’s time to have my air ducts cleaned?
Common warning signs include visible dust blowing from vents, unexplained spikes in utility bills, persistent musty or stale odors, worsening allergy symptoms, and evidence of mold or rodent activity inside the ductwork. If you observe any of these issues, a professional duct inspection and cleaning is recommended.
What does your duct cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to assess duct condition and identify trouble spots. We then use negative-pressure vacuum equipment, rotary brushes, and high-pressure air whips to dislodge and extract contaminants from supply and return ducts, trunk lines, and plenums. We also clean the air handler, blower motor, registers, and grilles, and finish with a hospital-grade sanitizer to inhibit microbial growth. A post-cleaning video ensures everything is spotless before we leave.
Can duct cleaning help lower my energy bills?
Yes. When ducts are coated with dust and debris, airflow is restricted and your HVAC system must work harder to reach set temperatures, consuming more electricity or gas. Removing buildup improves airflow by up to 30%, reduces equipment strain, and can trim heating and cooling costs by 5–15%. Cleaner ducts also help extend the lifespan of your furnace and AC components.
How long does duct cleaning take and will it create a mess in my home?
A typical single-family home in Cookeville takes 2–4 hours to clean, depending on duct size and contamination levels. Because we use sealed negative-pressure vacuums and vent covers, dust and debris are captured inside our equipment, not released into your living space. After completing the job, we wipe down registers and tidy the work area, leaving your home as clean—or cleaner—than when we arrived.
