FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Georgetown?
In Georgetown’s humid, pollen-rich climate, most homes benefit from professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve completed a renovation, have shedding pets, notice increased dust, or if anyone in the household suffers from allergies or asthma. Annual HVAC inspections help us determine the ideal cleaning schedule for your specific system and lifestyle.
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning for my heating and air-conditioning system?
A thorough cleaning removes accumulated dust, mold spores, pet dander, and construction debris that restrict airflow and stress your HVAC equipment. The results include: 1) improved energy efficiency—clean ducts allow conditioned air to circulate freely, cutting utility bills by up to 20%; 2) prolonged system life—your blower motor, coils, and filters work less hard; 3) healthier indoor air—fewer airborne irritants lead to reduced allergy and respiratory symptoms; and 4) less household dust—surfaces stay cleaner longer.
How can I tell if my air ducts need cleaning?
Warning signs include visible dust puffs or debris coming from supply registers, musty or burning smells when the system starts, dark lines around vents (indicating dirt deposits), excessive dust accumulation on furniture, unexplained spikes in energy bills, and worsening allergy or respiratory issues indoors. If you remove a vent cover and see matted dust or mold inside, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
What does your duct cleaning process involve?
We begin with a camera-assisted inspection to pinpoint problem areas. Next, we protect floors and furnishings before connecting a powerful negative-air vacuum to your main trunk line. Using high-pressure air whips and rotating brushes, we dislodge debris while the vacuum captures it, preventing contaminants from re-entering your home. Finally, we sanitize the ductwork with an EPA-registered antimicrobial (optional) and provide before-and-after photos for your records.
Will duct cleaning really improve my indoor air quality and reduce allergies?
Yes. The EPA lists dirty ductwork as a potential source of indoor air pollution. By removing layers of dust, pollen, pet hair, mold spores, and even rodent droppings, we can significantly lower airborne particulate counts. Customers frequently report fewer asthma flare-ups, reduced sinus irritation, and better overall comfort within days of service. For optimal results, combine duct cleaning with regular filter changes and proper humidity control.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and what should I expect?
Most single-family homes in Georgetown take 2–4 hours, depending on system size, duct accessibility, and the level of contamination. We arrive in a marked vehicle, review the scope of work, and lay protective coverings along traffic paths. No harsh chemicals or strong odors are used unless you opt for antimicrobial treatment. Your HVAC system is shut down only during the cleaning phase, so disruption is minimal. At the end, we perform a final walkthrough and provide maintenance tips to keep your ducts cleaner, longer.
