FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my HVAC system?
Dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants collect inside supply and return ducts. As air circulates, these particles are recirculated into living spaces and can coat sensitive HVAC components. A detailed duct cleaning removes this buildup, protecting blower motors and coils, restoring designed airflow, improving efficiency, and reducing the spread of allergens throughout your Hixson home.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning in Hixson’s climate?
For most homes we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Hixson’s warm, humid summers promote mold growth, and extra pollen in spring can shorten that interval—especially if you have pets, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or respiratory issues. Annual HVAC inspections help us confirm the best cleaning schedule for your specific conditions.
What signs indicate my ducts need professional cleaning?
Visible dust puffs from registers, dark streaks around vents, musty or stale odors when the system runs, frequent filter clogging, unexplained allergy flare-ups, and inconsistent airflow between rooms all suggest heavy debris inside the ductwork. A camera inspection can verify buildup, mold, or pest activity and confirm that cleaning is necessary.
How does duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and health?
A meticulous cleaning removes accumulated allergens, bacteria, mold spores, and even rodent droppings from the duct interior. With contaminants eliminated at the source, there is less particulate circulating, which decreases eye, nose, and throat irritation, helps asthma sufferers breathe easier, and creates a fresher, cleaner indoor environment. We also sanitize ducts with EPA-approved solutions to inhibit future microbial growth.
What should I expect during a professional duct cleaning visit?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive with a powerful negative-pressure vacuum truck, isolate the system, and create access points to sweep every trunk line and branch. Agitation tools loosen debris while the vacuum removes it to an exterior containment unit. We protect floors and furnishings, photograph before-and-after results, replace filters, and reseal access panels to factory specifications. The average home takes 3–5 hours, and you can stay inside safely during the process.
Can duct cleaning lower my energy bills and extend HVAC lifespan?
Yes. Clean ducts restore unobstructed airflow, allowing your furnace and air conditioner to reach set temperatures more quickly and cycle off sooner. That reduced run-time can cut energy use by up to 20% for heavily clogged systems, save on monthly utility costs, and lessen wear on motors, belts, and compressors—often extending equipment life by several years.
