FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Jellico?
Jellico’s humid summers and chilly winters make HVAC systems run almost year-round. As air circulates, dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores can accumulate inside the ductwork. Professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping prevent allergy flare-ups, musty odors, and microbial growth. It also keeps your heating and cooling equipment from working harder than necessary, reducing wear and lowering utility bills.
How often should HVAC air ducts be cleaned?
For a typical home or light-commercial space in Jellico, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have recently completed renovations, own shedding pets, suffer from asthma or severe allergies, or notice visible dust blowing from vents. Businesses such as salons, woodshops, or medical facilities may require annual service to meet health and safety standards.
What signs indicate my ventilation system needs cleaning or maintenance?
Common red flags include: visible dust or debris on supply registers, dark lines on ceilings around vents, musty or “dirty sock” odors when the HVAC turns on, inconsistent airflow between rooms, unexplained spikes in energy costs, or frequent filter clogging. If anyone in the building is experiencing persistent allergy or respiratory issues, that can also point to contaminated ductwork or poor indoor air quality.
What is included in your duct cleaning and air quality service?
Our certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to document duct conditions. We then seal off the system, create negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and agitate debris using industry-approved brushes and compressed-air whips. Supply and return lines, registers, grilles, the blower compartment, and the evaporator coil are all addressed. Optional add-ons include antimicrobial fogging, UV-C light installation, and media filter upgrades to further improve indoor air quality.
Will duct cleaning improve my energy efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing build-up from ducts and HVAC components allows air to move more freely, so your system runs shorter cycles to reach the set temperature—often cutting energy use by 10–20 %. Cleaner ducts also reduce the recirculation of allergens and irritants, leading to noticeably fresher air, fewer odors, and, in many cases, reduced allergy and asthma symptoms for occupants.
How long does the cleaning process take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard single-family home in Jellico takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or commercial facilities can range from half a day to a full day. We schedule appointments at your convenience, protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths, and keep noise to a minimum. HVAC operation is temporarily shut down during cleaning, but we restore full service before leaving, so downtime is minimal.
