FAQs
What are HEPA-filtered vacuums and why are they important during duct cleaning?
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums are equipped with filters that capture 99.97 % of particles as small as 0.3 microns—about 200 times narrower than a human hair. When we clean your air-conditioning and heating ducts in Jonesborough, these specialized vacuums prevent loosened dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens from being re-released into your living space. Using HEPA filtration helps protect sensitive occupants such as children, seniors, and allergy or asthma sufferers while ensuring the debris we remove actually leaves your home instead of circulating back into the air.
How often should I have my HVAC ducts cleaned in Jonesborough?
For most homes, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends professional cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have pets that shed, recent renovations, smokers in the household, or if you have noticed excessive dust or respiratory issues. Jonesborough’s seasonal pollen and occasional humidity spikes can also promote dust and mold buildup, so homeowners with allergies often opt for a shorter 2- to 3-year schedule.
What signs indicate my air ducts need professional cleaning?
Common indicators include: • Visible dust “puffs” from supply registers when the system starts up • Black lines or streaks around vents • Musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs • An unexplained increase in energy bills or HVAC runtime • Worsening allergy or asthma symptoms indoors • Evidence of pests, rodent droppings, or mold inside the ductwork If you notice any of these signs, a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaning can restore clean airflow and peace of mind.
Will HEPA vacuum duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. By removing accumulated debris, allergens, and microbial growth, duct cleaning reduces airborne contaminants and can noticeably improve breathing comfort, especially for allergy sufferers. Cleaner ducts also allow your heating and cooling equipment to operate with less resistance, which can lower energy consumption by up to 10 % and reduce wear on blowers and coils. Many Jonesborough homeowners report less dust on furniture and more consistent temperatures after a professional cleaning.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take, and what should I expect?
A standard single-family home (approximately 1,500–2,500 sq ft) in Jonesborough usually takes 2–4 hours to complete. Our certified technicians will: 1) perform a pre-inspection with a camera, 2) seal all vents, 3) connect a truck-mounted or portable HEPA vacuum to create negative pressure, 4) use rotary brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge contaminants, 5) thoroughly clean the supply and return sides, plenums, and blower compartment, and 6) perform a final camera inspection and clean up. You can remain in the house during the process, and we protect floors and furniture with drop cloths.
Are your duct-cleaning technicians certified, and is the process safe for my home?
Absolutely. Our team is NADCA-certified and trained in EPA-approved procedures. We use only non-toxic, biodegradable sanitizers when requested, and all equipment is designed to prevent damage to flexible or metal ductwork. The HEPA-filtered vacuums maintain negative pressure throughout the job, keeping dust contained.
