FAQs
Why should I choose a truck-mounted vacuum system for duct cleaning in Elora?
Truck-mounted vacuums generate up to 12,000–16,000 CFM of suction—five to ten times more than portable equipment—so they pull out heavy debris, construction dust, pet dander, pollen, and even small fasteners lodged deep in your ductwork. Because the debris is captured outside in the truck’s containment unit, there is no chance of re-introducing contaminants into your living space. This superior power and containment make truck-mounted systems the gold standard for thorough, hygienic duct cleaning in residential and commercial properties across Elora and Centre Wellington.
How often do my heating and air-conditioning ducts need to be cleaned?
For most Elora homes we recommend professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, service frequency can increase to every 2–3 years if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies or respiratory issues, recent renovations, a wood-burning stove, or if you notice visible dust buildup around supply vents. Commercial buildings, rental accommodations, and short-term rentals often follow an annual or bi-annual schedule to meet indoor-air-quality standards and insurance requirements.
What is included in your truck-mounted duct-cleaning process?
1. Inspection: We begin with a camera or visual inspection to identify trouble spots. 2. System Sealing: Supply and return vents are sealed so full suction is applied to one zone at a time. 3. Negative Pressure: A high-capacity hose from the truck is connected to the main trunk line to place the entire system under negative pressure. 4. Agitation: Technicians use rotating brushes, air whips, and skipper balls to dislodge contaminants from every branch line and register. 5. Extraction: Debris is pulled straight into the truck’s filtration unit; no dust is released inside your home. 6. Component Cleaning: We clean the furnace blower, evaporator coils (where accessible), and change or wash filters as requested. 7. Final Verification: Post-clean camera inspection and airflow test ensure your ducts are spotless and operating efficiently.
Will duct cleaning make a mess or disrupt my household?
No. Our crew lays down protective drop cloths, wears boot covers, and uses corner guards to protect walls and floors. Because suction is maintained outdoors in the truck, dust never enters your living space. Each vent is opened only briefly for agitation, and most of the system stays sealed throughout the job, so you can stay inside, work remotely, or carry on daily activities with minimal disturbance.
How long does a complete duct cleaning service take?
A standard 3-bedroom home in Elora typically takes 2–3 hours, while larger homes with multiple HVAC zones, finished basements, or complex layouts may require 3–5 hours. Small commercial units can be completed in a half day, whereas larger offices, schools, or industrial shops may span one to two full days. We confirm timing in advance during your free on-site or virtual estimate.
What benefits will I notice after my ducts are cleaned?
• Better indoor air quality: Removal of dust, allergens, and microbial growth reduces sneezing, asthma flare-ups, and musty odours. • Greater HVAC efficiency: Unobstructed ducts improve airflow, letting your furnace and A/C cycle less often and potentially lowering energy bills by 5–15 %. • Extended equipment life: Less strain on the blower motor and coils can add years to your HVAC system. • Cleaner living spaces: With less dust circulating, furniture and surfaces stay clean longer. • Peace of mind: A documented, professional cleaning helps satisfy home-sale inspections and warranty or insurance requirements.
