FAQs
What are the main benefits of having my HVAC ducts cleaned with your high-powered vacuums?
Our truck-mounted, negative-pressure vacuums generate up to 5,000 CFM, which is strong enough to lift a bowling ball. That power removes built-up dust, pet dander, construction debris, mold spores, and other contaminants that ordinary shop vacs leave behind. The result is cleaner indoor air, a more efficient HVAC system (often 10–20 % energy savings), fewer odors, and less dust settling on furniture and electronics.
How often should ducts be cleaned in the Cookeville area?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. In Cookeville we see a lot of pollen, humidity, and seasonal temperature swings, so homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. Commercial facilities typically require annual or biennial service, depending on occupancy and filtration practices.
Will duct cleaning really help with allergies and indoor air quality?
Yes. Independent studies show that up to 40 lb of dust can accumulate in an average six-room home each year, and much of it circulates through the ductwork. Our high-powered vacuums, combined with rotating brush agitation, remove the dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria colonies that trigger allergies and asthma. Customers frequently report easier breathing, fewer respiratory flare-ups, and a noticeable reduction in household dust after service.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and will it disrupt my routine?
A standard single-family home in Cookeville (about 2,000–3,000 sq ft) usually takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or systems with multiple HVAC units can take 4–6 hours. We seal off each vent to maintain negative pressure and use drop cloths, corner guards, and shoe covers to protect floors and walls. Your HVAC system is shut down only while we clean each section, so comfort loss is minimal, and you can stay in the house the whole time.
Are your technicians certified and what standards do you follow?
All of our lead technicians are NADCA-certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialists (ASCS) and are trained in accordance with the ACR Standard—the industry’s gold standard for HVAC hygiene. We also carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, perform background checks, and use EPA-registered, plant-based sanitizers when microbial treatment is requested.
How much does duct cleaning cost and do you offer free estimates in Cookeville?
Pricing depends on the number of supply and return vents, system size, and whether optional services like sanitizer application or dryer-vent cleaning are added. Most single-system homes range from $350–$525 all-inclusive. Multi-system homes and commercial jobs are quoted after an on-site inspection.
