FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by certified technicians in Lancing?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mould spores can accumulate inside your ductwork. In Lancing’s humid climate, this build-up can encourage microbial growth and circulate allergens every time your system runs. Our NADCA-certified technicians use industry-approved vacuums and agitation tools to remove these contaminants, which can improve indoor air quality, reduce respiratory irritants, and help your heating and cooling equipment operate more efficiently.
How often do HVAC professionals recommend scheduling duct cleaning?
For most homes in Lancing, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have recently completed a renovation, own shedding pets, notice visible mould, or suffer from allergies or asthma. Commercial buildings, rental properties, or facilities with higher occupancy often benefit from an annual inspection and cleaning schedule.
What warning signs indicate that my air ducts need professional cleaning?
Common indicators include musty or dusty odours when the system starts, visible dust puffs from supply registers, excessive household dusting even after cleaning, unexplained allergy flare-ups, rattling debris sounds in ducts, and a recent infestation of rodents or insects. If you see black streaks or mould around vents, schedule an urgent inspection to prevent contaminant spread.
What steps are involved in your certified duct cleaning service?
Our process begins with a camera inspection to assess duct condition. We then protect floors and furnishings, place the duct system under negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and use rotary brushes or compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. After thorough extraction, we sanitise the duct interior with an eco-friendly antimicrobial solution and clean the blower, evaporator coil, and return plenums. Finally, we reseal access panels and provide before-and-after photos for your peace of mind.
Will duct cleaning really improve my HVAC efficiency and lower energy bills?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder to reach the thermostat setting. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25–40 % of HVAC energy is wasted due to contaminants and poor maintenance. A clean duct system restores proper airflow, helping your equipment run smoother, reducing wear on motors and blowers, and potentially lowering utility costs by 5–15 %.
How long does a professional duct cleaning take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family homes in Lancing take 2–4 hours to complete, depending on duct length, number of registers, and how dirty the system is. Larger homes or buildings with multiple HVAC zones may require up to a full day. Our technicians work around your schedule, use sealed tools to minimise dust release, and keep one HVAC zone operational whenever possible so your comfort is maintained throughout the service.
