FAQs
Why is air duct cleaning important for my Cookeville home?
Cookeville’s mix of humid summers and cool winters means your HVAC system runs nearly year-round, pulling dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores into the ductwork. Over time these contaminants accumulate, restricting airflow, lowering system efficiency, and circulating irritants throughout the living space. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your equipment run more efficiently, reducing allergy triggers, and creating a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning?
Industry guidelines recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years, but frequency can vary. You may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed a renovation, have multiple pets, suffer from respiratory allergies, smoke indoors, or notice visible dust around vents. In Cookeville’s pollen-rich spring season, homes with allergy sufferers often benefit from shorter cleaning intervals.
What signs tell me my HVAC ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: excessive dust buildup on vents or furniture shortly after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the system is running, uneven airflow between rooms, unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups, visible mold inside return ducts, or hearing debris rattling when the blower starts. If you see any of these red flags, it’s wise to schedule an inspection.
What does your professional duct cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified team arrives with high-powered negative-air vacuums, rotary brushes, and HEPA-filtered containment equipment. We: 1) inspect the entire duct system with video cameras; 2) seal supply and return registers; 3) dislodge contaminants using rotary brush agitation; 4) vacuum debris into a sealed collection unit; 5) clean the blower, evaporator coil, and accessible plenums; 6) apply an EPA-approved sanitizer if requested; and 7) provide before-and-after images so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills or improve performance?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 20–30% of the air moving through a typical duct system is lost to leaks and obstructions. By clearing blockages and removing restrictive debris, airflow improves, allowing the furnace or air conditioner to reach set temperatures faster and cycle off sooner. This not only lowers monthly energy costs but can extend equipment life by reducing wear on motors and blowers.
How long does a duct cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
A standard single-family home in Cookeville usually takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or systems with heavy contamination may take up to a full day. To prepare, please clear furniture or belongings away from vents, ensure pets are secured, and provide access to the HVAC equipment and all supply/return registers. Our technicians wear shoe covers and use protective drop cloths to keep your home tidy throughout the process.
