FAQs
Why should I have my HVAC ducts professionally cleaned in Lancing?
Lancing’s coastal air carries higher levels of salt, moisture, and pollen that can quickly accumulate inside air-conditioning and heating ducts. Over time this buildup restricts airflow, forces your system to work harder, and circulates allergens throughout the property. Professional duct cleaning removes this debris with specialised equipment, helping your HVAC run more efficiently, extending its lifespan, and improving indoor air quality for allergy and asthma sufferers.
What makes your high-powered vacuum method different from standard duct cleaning?
We use truck-mounted, negative-pressure vacuums rated at up to 5,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute). While portable units may only achieve a fraction of that power, our system pulls dust, mould spores, insulation fibres and even small construction debris out of every branch line without scattering contaminants back into your rooms. Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips loosen stubborn deposits, and the entire duct network is sealed during extraction to maintain full suction and prevent mess.
How often should residential or commercial ducts be cleaned?
Most properties in West Sussex benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need annual or biennial service if you have: • Pets that shed heavily • Recent renovations or new builds (drywall dust) • Residents with allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues • A business that releases fine particles (salons, workshops) We offer free inspections in Lancing to determine the optimal schedule for your specific conditions.
Can duct cleaning really reduce energy bills and improve air quality?
Yes. A 1 mm layer of dust on coil surfaces can decrease HVAC efficiency by up to 21 %. By restoring unobstructed airflow, your system reaches set temperatures faster and cycles off sooner, translating into measurable savings on your electricity or gas bill. At the same time, removing dust, pollen, fungal spores, and bacteria lowers airborne irritants, leading to fewer allergy flare-ups and a fresher smelling home or workplace.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take in an average Lancing home?
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house with one air handler, plan on 2–4 hours. Larger properties, multiple systems, or heavily contaminated ducts can take 5–6 hours. We schedule convenient morning or afternoon slots, perform a full pre-and post-cleaning inspection with camera footage, and leave your home exactly as we found it—just cleaner.
Are your technicians certified, and will the process damage my HVAC system or décor?
Absolutely. All team members hold NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) and BESA Vent Hygiene certifications, along with DBS background checks for your peace of mind. Access holes are cut only where necessary, fitted with code-compliant grommets, and sealed airtight after service. We lay protective sheeting, wear boot covers, and use soft-bristle brushes approved for galvanised and flex ducting, so your equipment, paintwork, and carpets remain unharmed.
