FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other debris accumulate inside supply and return ductwork. This buildup can restrict airflow, force your heating or cooling equipment to work harder, and recirculate contaminants into the living space. Professional duct cleaning removes these deposits, helping your HVAC system run more efficiently, extending equipment life, and reducing the potential for allergy and respiratory irritants to circulate throughout your home.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
For most homes we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, recent renovations that produced construction dust, water damage or mold issues, or if you notice visible debris blowing from registers. Our technician can assess your duct condition and provide a personalized maintenance schedule.
What are the signs that my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: visible dust puffs or black streaks around supply vents; musty or stale odors when the system runs; an unexplained increase in dust on furniture; inconsistent airflow or temperature rooms; recent rodent or insect infestation; and aggravated allergy or asthma symptoms indoors. If you observe any of these, it’s wise to schedule an inspection.

You receive before-and-after photos and a written service report.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. By removing particulate buildup, duct cleaning reduces the volume of allergens and irritants that can be circulated through your home. Cleaner coils and unobstructed ducts allow conditioned air to move more freely, which can lower energy consumption by 5–15% and help maintain consistent comfort levels. While results vary by system condition, customers often experience lower dusting frequency, fresher indoor air, and quieter HVAC operation.
How long does the duct cleaning process take and is it disruptive?
A typical single-family home takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or commercial properties may require most of the day. During cleaning, the HVAC system is temporarily offline, but we schedule appointments at your convenience and can work in zones to minimize downtime. Our crew uses sealed vacuum equipment and protective coverings so there is no mess left behind, and you can occupy the home safely throughout the process.
