FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Kingston’s climate?
Kingston experiences cold, damp winters and warm, humid summers—conditions that encourage dust, pet dander, pollen, and even mould spores to accumulate in ductwork. When your furnace or A/C runs, those contaminants circulate through your home, aggravating allergies, reducing HVAC efficiency, and creating musty odours. Professional duct cleaning removes this build-up, helping your heating and cooling system run more efficiently, extending equipment life, and improving overall indoor air quality.
How often should residential ductwork be cleaned?
Industry standards recommend duct cleaning every 3–5 years, but several local factors can shorten that interval. Homes with shedding pets, recent renovations, wood-burning stoves, smokers, or family members with respiratory issues may benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. Kingston’s mix of urban construction dust and lake-effect humidity can also accelerate debris build-up. We offer free inspections to determine whether your system needs service sooner.
What signs indicate I need duct cleaning?
Common indicators include: dusty or darkened vent covers, visible debris blowing from registers, musty or burnt odours when the HVAC starts, uneven airflow or rooms that never seem to heat/cool properly, and unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups. A sudden spike in energy bills can also signal restricted airflow due to clogged ducts. If you notice any of these symptoms, a professional assessment is recommended.
What is included in your duct cleaning service?
Our Kingston duct cleaning package is all-inclusive. We begin with a camera inspection to document the condition of your ducts. Next, we isolate the system, place it under negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and use rotary brushes and air whips to dislodge contaminants from every supply and return run. We also clean the furnace plenum, blower, A-coil housing (without disturbing refrigerant lines), and change the air filter. Finally, we sanitise the system with an eco-friendly, Health Canada–approved disinfectant and provide before-and-after photos for your peace of mind.
Will duct cleaning improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Clean ducts allow air to flow freely, so your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to reach the desired temperature. Studies by the U.S. Department of Energy show that clean HVAC systems can operate up to 20 % more efficiently, saving on utility bills especially during Kingston’s peak heating and cooling seasons. Removing dust, allergens, and microbial growth also reduces airborne irritants, leading to fewer allergy symptoms, less household dusting, and a fresher-smelling home.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and what should I expect?
Most single-family homes in Kingston take 2–4 hours, depending on layout, duct length, and the level of contamination. We arrive on time, protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths, and wear boot covers inside your home. The HVAC system is shut down briefly while we attach our negative-air machine; you’ll still have access to electricity and water. Noise levels are comparable to a household vacuum. Once complete, we review the results, reinstall vent covers, and leave your home as clean as—or cleaner than—when we arrived.
