FAQs
How often should I have my HVAC air-ducts cleaned in Lancing?
For most homes and businesses in Lancing we recommend a full professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Properties with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. Annual inspections during your regular heating or cooling tune-up will reveal whether a full clean is needed sooner.
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning?
Thorough duct cleaning removes dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and other contaminants that circulate through your heating and air-conditioning system. The results include better indoor air quality, reduced allergy and asthma triggers, a cleaner living space (less dust on surfaces), improved HVAC efficiency, and potentially lower energy bills because the system no longer has to push air through layers of debris.
How can I tell if my ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include visible dust blowing from supply vents, musty or stale odours when the system runs, inconsistent airflow room to room, excessive dust build-up on furniture, or increased allergy or respiratory symptoms among occupants. If it has been more than five years since your last duct cleaning—or you’ve recently completed building work—schedule an inspection with our Lancing team.
What does your duct-cleaning process involve?
Our certified technicians start by protecting floors and furniture, then access the ductwork through existing vents or small service openings. Using high-powered negative-air vacuums, rotating brushes and agitation devices, we dislodge and extract debris without letting it escape into your home. We also clean grilles, registers, the air handler, blower, and evaporator coil, then apply an EPA-approved sanitiser if requested. A final camera inspection confirms the job is complete.
How long will the service take and will my heating or AC be offline?
A typical residential duct-cleaning job in Lancing takes 2–4 hours depending on home size and the amount of contamination. Commercial systems may take longer. We do need to shut down the HVAC equipment while the negative-pressure vacuum is attached, but we restore full operation as soon as cleaning is finished. Downtime is minimal, and we schedule around your convenience.
What does duct cleaning cost and is it worth the investment?
For most three-bedroom homes in the Lancing area, prices start around £250–£350, with larger properties or add-on services (coil cleaning, sanitising, dryer-vent cleaning) costing more. Considering the health benefits, energy savings, and the fact that a cleaner system can extend the life of your HVAC equipment, duct cleaning offers an excellent return on investment.
