FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my Harriman home or business?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants collect inside your HVAC ductwork. In Harriman’s four-season climate, your system runs year-round, continuously pulling air through these dirty ducts and circulating pollutants throughout the building. Professional duct cleaning removes this debris, helping your heating and cooling equipment run more efficiently, extending system life, and safeguarding occupants—especially children, seniors, and anyone with allergies or respiratory issues.
How often should I schedule professional air-duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends having ducts inspected every 2 years and cleaned every 3–5 years under normal conditions. In Harriman, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, recent construction or remodeling dust, water damage, a wood-burning stove, or household members with asthma or severe allergies. Smooth Airflow’s technicians can evaluate your specific conditions and recommend an appropriate maintenance interval.
What signs indicate my ductwork needs cleaning?
Common red flags include: visible dust puffs coming from supply vents, musty or “dirty sock” odors when the HVAC starts, uneven airflow or hot/cold spots, excessive household dust despite regular cleaning, recent renovation work, unexplained allergy flare-ups, and evidence of rodents or insects inside the ducts. If you notice any of these issues in your Harriman property, schedule an inspection with Smooth Airflow as soon as possible.
What does Smooth Airflow Heating & Air Conditioning’s duct-cleaning service include?
Our NADCA-certified team arrives with high-powered negative-air vacuums and rotary brush systems. We: 1. Seal all registers and create negative pressure to prevent dust escape. 2. Agitate and dislodge buildup with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips. 3. Extract debris into a HEPA-filtered containment unit. 4. Clean supply and return plenums, blower compartment, and accessible coil surfaces. 5. Sanitize ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment (optional). 6. Re-seal access panels and test system operation. Throughout the process we use drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and leave your Harriman home exactly as we found it—only cleaner.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing obstructions allows conditioned air to flow freely, so your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to reach set temperatures. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40 % of heating and cooling energy is wasted on airflow resistance and duct leakage; duct cleaning can help recapture a portion of that loss. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer airborne particles, which can alleviate allergy symptoms, reduce asthma triggers, and keep furniture and electronics dust-free longer.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
An average single-family home in Harriman takes 2–4 hours; larger homes or commercial spaces can take longer. To help us work efficiently, please: • Clear access to all supply and return vents. • Secure pets in a separate room. • Make sure someone 18+ is present to authorize service. • If possible, replace your HVAC filter after the cleaning to maximize results. Once we’re done, you can run your heating or cooling system immediately and enjoy smoother, cleaner airflow.
