FAQs
Why is duct cleaning especially important for homes with pets in Decherd?
Cats, dogs, and other furry companions constantly shed dander—microscopic flakes of skin that circulate through your HVAC system. In Decherd’s warm, humid summers and cool winters, most residents keep their homes sealed up and HVAC systems running almost year-round. Without periodic cleaning, pet dander builds up on blower components and inside ductwork, reducing airflow, forcing your equipment to work harder, and recirculating allergens. A professional pet-specific duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your system run efficiently and reducing allergy triggers for family members and guests.
How often should I schedule a pet-focused duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
For households with one or two pets, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 2–3 years. If you have multiple pets, long-haired breeds, or anyone in the home with asthma or severe allergies, an annual cleaning is advisable. Decherd’s pollen seasons can combine with pet dander to overload filters more quickly, so we also suggest changing HVAC filters every 30–60 days to maintain optimal air quality between cleanings.
What are the warning signs that my ducts are clogged with pet dander?
• Visible dust or fur puffing out of supply registers when the system starts • Increased allergy or asthma symptoms indoors compared with outdoors • Persistent “musty” or “pet” odor that returns after normal cleaning • Uneven heating or cooling from room to room due to restricted airflow • Higher-than-normal energy bills without a change in thermostat settings If you notice one or more of these issues, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection.
What does your pet dander duct-cleaning service include?
1. Free on-site inspection and video scope of key duct runs. 2. Sealing of registers and returns to create a closed system. 3. HEPA-filtered negative-air vacuum to pull loosened debris safely outside. 4. Rotary brush and compressed-air agitation to detach pet hair, dander, and dust. 5. Cleaning of blower motor, evaporator coil, and plenum where dander accumulates. 6. Eco-friendly antimicrobial fogging to neutralize odors and bacteria. 7. Post-clean video verification and written report. The entire process meets NADCA standards and is safe for pets and people.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and reduce pet allergies?
Yes. By physically removing the reservoir of pet dander and other particulates that settle in ductwork, the overall allergen load in your home decreases significantly. Clients frequently report less dust on furniture, reduced pet odors, and fewer respiratory symptoms. In homes with immune-sensitive occupants, we can also install high-MERV or HEPA filtration and UV germicidal lights for added protection.
How long does the duct-cleaning appointment take, and will my HVAC be offline?
A typical Decherd home (1,500–2,500 sq ft) takes 3–5 hours to clean thoroughly. Larger homes or those with multiple HVAC zones may take a full day. We shut down the HVAC blower while we work, but we create minimal temperature change inside. If outdoor conditions are extreme, we can clean one zone at a time so another system keeps the house comfortable. Once we finish, your system is turned back on, and there is no curing or wait time—you can immediately enjoy cleaner, fresher air.
