FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts professionally cleaned in Hixson?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants build up inside your HVAC ductwork. In Hixson’s humid climate, this buildup can reduce system efficiency, aggravate allergies, and circulate odors throughout your home. Professional duct cleaning removes these pollutants, helping your heating and air conditioning system run more efficiently, improving indoor air quality, and potentially lowering energy bills.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning for Hixson homes?
Most industry organizations, including the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), recommend scheduling a professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies or respiratory issues, recent home renovations, water damage, or if you notice visible mold or excessive dust coming from the vents.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
Our service involves a complete inspection of your HVAC system, sealing of supply and return registers, agitation of debris with specialized brushes, and high-powered negative-air vacuum extraction. We also clean the supply and return trunks, plenum boxes, blower compartment, and accessible evaporator coil surfaces. Optional add-ons include antimicrobial fogging, dryer-vent cleaning, and filter replacement.
Will duct cleaning damage my HVAC system or ducts?
No. We use NADCA-approved, soft-bristle rotary brushes that are gentle on both metal and flexible ductwork. Our negative-pressure vacuum maintains safe suction levels, preventing duct collapse while ensuring thorough debris removal. All technicians are fully trained, licensed, and insured, so your system is protected throughout the process.
How long does a typical duct cleaning take and will I need to leave my home?
For an average single-zone Hixson home of about 2,000 square feet, duct cleaning takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or multi-zone systems can take longer. You do not need to leave; the equipment is contained and we maintain vacuum pressure during cleaning to minimize dust. We simply ask that you keep pets and children away from our work areas for safety.
What does duct cleaning cost and are there any hidden fees?
Pricing is based on the number of vents, returns, and HVAC zones. Most Hixson homes fall within the $399–$699 range. The quote you receive upfront includes labor, equipment, and disposal fees—there are no hidden charges. Optional services such as antimicrobial fogging or dryer-vent cleaning are priced separately and only performed with your approval.
