FAQs
What is a rotary brush duct-cleaning system and how does it work?
A rotary brush system uses flexible, motor-driven nylon or polypropylene brushes attached to vacuum hoses. While the brush spins, it scrubs the interior lining of each supply and return duct, dislodging dust, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants. Simultaneously, a high-powered HEPA vacuum creates negative pressure, pulling the loosened debris directly into a sealed collection unit so none of it re-enters your living space. For metal ducts, a mild agitation speed is used; for flex or lined ducts, softer bristles and lower RPM protect the material. The method meets or exceeds National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards and is considered one of the most thorough mechanical duct-cleaning options available.
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Dunlap?
Dunlap’s four-season climate means HVAC systems run almost year-round, accumulating dust, pollen, and moisture that foster microbial growth. Cleaning your ducts can: • Improve indoor air quality, reducing allergy and asthma triggers. • Increase HVAC efficiency by removing airflow restrictions, which can lower energy bills by up to 20 %. • Extend equipment life, because motors and coils don’t have to work as hard. • Remove musty, smoky, or pet odors trapped in duct walls. • Comply with property-management or home-sale inspection requirements. Our rotary brush technology is especially effective for homes near farm fields or construction zones where airborne particulates are higher.
How often should residential and commercial ducts be cleaned?
NADCA recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes, but several factors can shorten that interval: • Households with pets that shed heavily or residents with respiratory issues: every 2–3 years. • After remodeling projects or fire/smoke events: immediately. • Commercial offices, restaurants, or medical facilities: every 1–2 years due to higher occupancy and code requirements. We offer free inspections in Dunlap to assess dust levels, microbial growth, and system condition. Based on our findings and air-quality tests, we’ll give you a customized maintenance schedule.
Will rotary brush duct cleaning damage my ductwork or HVAC equipment?
No. Our technicians are NADCA-certified and inspect each system before cleaning. We select the proper brush size and stiffness for your duct material, increase RPM gradually, and use camera scopes to monitor progress in real time. Flexible ducts, internally-lined ducts, and fiberboard sections are brushed with ultra-soft bristles at low speed or cleaned with air whips when brushing is not advisable. All access panels are professionally sealed afterward, maintaining manufacturer warranties and system integrity.
How long does the service take and what should I expect on the day of cleaning?
A standard single-family home in Dunlap (2,000–3,000 sq ft, one HVAC system) usually takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or buildings with multiple systems can take 4–8 hours. The process: 1. Pre-inspection and setup of protective floor coverings. 2. Creation of temporary access ports and connection of the HEPA vacuum. 3. Rotary brushing and vacuuming of each branch and main trunk line. 4. Cleaning of supply registers, return grilles, blower compartment, and evaporator coil surface. 5. Optional EPA-registered sanitizer or deodorizer fog. 6. Final camera inspection, resealing of access points, and cleanup. You do not have to leave the premises; noise is comparable to a household vacuum. Pets should be secured for their comfort and safety.
How much does rotary brush duct cleaning cost in Dunlap and what factors affect the price?
Pricing typically ranges from $400–$700 for a typical home and $25–$40 per vent for larger or custom layouts. Commercial projects are quoted per linear foot or per air handler. Factors that influence cost include: • Number of supply and return vents. • Presence of multiple HVAC systems or zoned ductwork. • Accessibility of duct runs (attics, crawlspaces, or high ceilings). • Level of contamination (e.g., heavy mold, construction debris, or rodent activity). • Optional add-on services like coil cleaning, dryer-vent cleaning, or antimicrobial fogging. We provide firm, upfront quotes after an on-site evaluation—no hidden fees or high-pressure upsells—and all work is backed by a 12-month cleanliness guarantee.
