FAQs
What is rotating brush duct cleaning and how does it work?
Rotating brush duct cleaning is a mechanical method that uses motor-driven brushes attached to flexible rods to scrub the interior walls of your HVAC ductwork. As the brushes spin, a high-powered vacuum simultaneously pulls loosened dust, debris, pet dander, and microbial growth into a sealed collection unit. Because the brushes make direct contact with the duct surface, they remove stuck-on contaminants that compressed air alone can miss, leaving your Elora home’s heating and cooling system cleaner and more efficient.
Why should I choose rotating brush cleaning over standard compressed-air cleaning?
Compressed-air cleaning relies mainly on bursts of air to push debris toward a vacuum hose. While effective for light, powdery dust, it often leaves behind caked-on grime, construction dust, or mold growth. The rotating brush technique physically agitates and dislodges these stubborn deposits, resulting in a more thorough clean. Homeowners in Elora who suffer from allergies, have pets, or have recently completed renovations usually notice reduced odours and improved indoor air quality after a rotating brush service.
How often should Elora homeowners schedule duct cleaning?
For most households, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning ducts every 3-5 years. However, you may need more frequent service—every 2-3 years—if you: • own shedding pets • smoke indoors • have family members with asthma or severe allergies • have done major home remodeling • notice excessive dust buildup or musty odours. Elora’s rural surroundings can introduce extra pollen and outdoor dust, so periodic inspections are wise to determine the optimal schedule for your situation.
Will rotating brush cleaning damage my flexible or older ductwork?
Professional technicians select brush heads specifically sized and bristled for the type of duct in your home—metal, fiberglass-lined, or flexible. They adjust brush speed to avoid tearing liner materials or puncturing thin flex ducts. Additionally, before cleaning begins, a camera inspection identifies any fragile sections so the technician can protect or bypass them. When performed by trained and insured experts, rotating brush cleaning is safe for both new and aging HVAC systems.
How long does a typical duct cleaning visit take, and do I need to do anything in advance?
For an average 2,000-square-foot Elora home with one furnace and central air conditioner, plan on 2–4 hours. Larger homes or multiple HVAC zones can extend the visit. To help the technicians work efficiently, please: 1. Clear a 3-foot path to all supply and return vents. 2. Move fragile items away from the furnace area. 3. Secure pets in another room. No other preparation is needed; our team brings floor covers and corner guards to protect your home while we clean.
What does duct cleaning cost in Elora, and what factors affect the price?
Prices typically range from $350–$700 for a single-furnace home in Elora. Costs vary based on: • Square footage and number of vents • Presence of multiple HVAC systems or HRV/ERV units • Extent of contamination (post-renovation, pet hair, mold) • Optional add-ons such as antimicrobial fogging or dryer-vent cleaning We provide a free on-site or virtual quote so you know the exact investment before we start, and our rotating brush method is included at no extra charge because we believe every customer deserves the deepest clean.
