FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Ducktown?
With Ducktown’s humid summers and chilly winters, dust, pollen, and even mold spores can accumulate quickly inside ductwork. Cleaning removes these contaminants, helping to reduce allergy symptoms, eliminate musty odors, and keep your HVAC system running efficiently. Regular duct maintenance also extends equipment life and lowers energy bills by improving airflow.
How often should my home’s ducts be professionally cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, Ducktown residents with pets, recent renovations, smokers, or family members who suffer from asthma or allergies may benefit from annual or biennial cleanings. Our certified technicians can inspect your ducts and recommend a schedule tailored to your household’s needs.
What are the signs that I need duct cleaning or an HVAC inspection?
Common indicators include: visible dust blowing from registers, a persistent musty or burnt smell when the system runs, unexplained spikes in utility bills, uneven heating or cooling, or recent water damage around the ductwork. If you notice excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, that’s another clue your ducts need attention.
What does your certified duct-cleaning process involve?
1. Pre-inspection: Our technician photographs and videos the inside of your ducts. 2. System sealing: Supply and return vents are sealed to create negative pressure. 3. HEPA-filtered vacuuming: A powerful vacuum removes loose debris while rotary brushes dislodge stuck-on contaminants. 4. Sanitizing (optional): An EPA-registered antimicrobial mist is applied to neutralize mold, bacteria, and odors. 5. Final walkthrough: We show before-and-after images, reinstall vent covers, and verify system performance. The process usually takes 2–4 hours for an average Ducktown home.
Will duct cleaning really improve my HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Clogged ducts restrict airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder and consume more energy. Studies show that clean duct systems can improve overall HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %. Removing dust, pollen, dander, and mold spores also reduces airborne irritants, leading to cleaner, healthier indoor air—especially valuable for children, seniors, and allergy sufferers.
Are your technicians certified and insured, and do you offer any guarantees?
Absolutely. Every member of our Ducktown service team is HVAC-R licensed and NADCA-certified, meaning they have specialized training in safe, effective duct cleaning. We carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance for your protection, and we back our work with a 12-month Clean Air Guarantee—if you’re not satisfied, we’ll return and re-clean your ducts at no additional cost.
