FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts professionally cleaned in Decatur?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants build up inside your ductwork. In Decatur’s humid climate, this buildup can also foster mold growth. Professional cleaning by our NADCA-certified technicians removes these pollutants, improving indoor air quality, helping HVAC equipment run more efficiently, and potentially lowering energy bills.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning for homes and businesses in Decatur?
Most industry guidelines suggest a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have recently completed a renovation, notice visible mold, detect persistent odors, suffer from worsened allergies, or own pets that shed heavily. Our technicians can inspect your system and recommend a schedule tailored to your property’s conditions.
What steps are involved in your certified duct-cleaning process?
1. Pre-inspection: We use cameras to assess duct condition and identify trouble spots. 2. Protection: Drop cloths and vent covers safeguard flooring and furnishings. 3. Source removal: High-efficiency negative-air machines place the ducts under vacuum while rotary brushes or compressed-air whips dislodge debris. 4. Sanitizing (optional): EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments treat mold or bacteria if detected. 5. Final inspection: We run cameras again to verify cleanliness and provide before-and-after images for your records.
Are your technicians licensed and certified to work on my HVAC system?
Yes. All of our team members hold Georgia Conditioned Air Contractor licensing and are certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). This means they follow strict standards for safety, cleanliness, and HVAC system integrity, so you can trust that both your air quality and equipment are in expert hands.
Will duct cleaning reduce my heating and cooling costs?
Clean ducts promote better airflow, which allows your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner to reach set temperatures more quickly and cycle off sooner. While savings vary, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that improved airflow and regular HVAC maintenance can cut energy usage by up to 20 %. Additionally, removing debris helps prevent premature wear on vital components, lowering the risk of costly repairs.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take, and do I need to leave my home?
A standard single-family residence in Decatur generally takes 2–4 hours to complete, depending on the size of the home, number of registers, and level of contamination. You do not need to leave; we keep noise and disruption to a minimum. If sanitizers are applied, we recommend staying out of treated zones for about 30 minutes to allow full drying.
