FAQs
Why is duct cleaning especially important for pet owners in Harrison?
Cats, dogs, birds, and other household pets constantly shed dander—tiny flakes of skin that are light enough to be drawn into your return vents. In Harrison’s humid, four-season climate, this dander can cling to dust and moisture inside your air ducts, forming a perfect breeding ground for allergens, mold spores, and bacteria. A professional duct cleaning removes these accumulated contaminants, improving indoor air quality, reducing odors, and helping your heating and cooling equipment run more efficiently.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning if I have pets?
For homes without pets, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends cleaning every 3–5 years. With one or two pets, we suggest every 2–3 years. If you have multiple long-haired animals, or if anyone in the home suffers from allergies or asthma, an annual cleaning may be worthwhile. Remember that local factors—like pollen levels in Harrison and how often you vacuum—also play a role, so we’re happy to provide a free in-home assessment.
What signs indicate that pet dander is affecting my HVAC system?
• Excessive dust or visible clumps of hair around supply registers • Musty or “wet dog” odors when the system cycles on • Increased allergy or asthma symptoms indoors • Higher energy bills caused by reduced airflow and equipment strain • Hot or cold spots in the house because ducts are partially clogged
What does your pet-friendly duct cleaning process involve?
1. Pre-inspection: We send a camera through the ductwork to document buildup. 2. Home preparation: Vents are sealed, and drop cloths are placed to protect floors and furniture. 3. Negative-pressure vacuuming: A powerful HEPA vacuum pulls debris toward the truck-mounted unit so no mess escapes indoors. 4. Mechanical agitation: Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips loosen stubborn pet hair, dander, and dust. 5. Sanitizing: We apply an EPA-approved, pet-safe antimicrobial treatment to inhibit mold and bacteria growth. 6. Filter upgrade: On request, we provide high-MERV or HEPA filters to capture future dander. 7. Final walkthrough: We show you before-and-after images and leave your home exactly as we found it—only cleaner.
Will duct cleaning reduce allergy symptoms for my family?
Yes. Pet dander particles are among the most common indoor allergens. By physically removing the dander trapped inside your ductwork—and pairing the service with a high-efficiency filter—you reduce the allergen load circulating through your home. Customers often report fewer sneezing fits, less eye irritation, and better sleep within days of cleaning.
How long does a duct cleaning take and what does it cost in Harrison?
A standard duct cleaning for a single-zone, 2,000 sq ft home in Harrison usually takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or multi-system setups may require half a day. Pricing is based on the number of supply and return vents; most projects fall between $350 and $550. We offer free, no-obligation quotes, senior and military discounts, and periodic seasonal specials. All pricing is disclosed up front—no hidden fees.
