FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Loudon?
Loudon’s humid summers and pollen-rich spring seasons cause dust, pet dander, mold spores, and outdoor allergens to collect inside ductwork. When the HVAC system runs, these contaminants are circulated through every supply register, aggravating allergies, reducing system efficiency, and creating musty odors. Professional cleaning removes this buildup, restoring healthy airflow, lowering energy consumption by up to 20 %, and extending the life of your heating and cooling equipment.
How often should I have my ducts cleaned and my HVAC system serviced?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years for most properties. Loudon households with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies may benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. Routine HVAC tune-ups should be scheduled twice a year—once in spring for air-conditioning and once in fall for heating—to keep equipment efficient and catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.
What warning signs indicate my air ducts may need cleaning?
Common red flags include: 1) visible dust blowing from supply vents; 2) unexplained spikes in utility bills; 3) persistent musty or burning smells when the system starts; 4) excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning; 5) worsening allergy or asthma symptoms indoors; and 6) evidence of rodent or insect activity around duct openings. If you notice one or more of these issues, it’s time for a professional inspection.
What does your professional duct-cleaning service include?
Our Loudon team follows strict NADCA guidelines. We begin with a camera inspection to pinpoint trouble spots, then isolate each supply and return trunk. A negative-pressure vacuum (rated at 5,000+ CFM) is attached to the main plenum while rotary brushes and compressed-air whips scrub every line, dislodging debris. We clean the blower, evaporator coil, drain pan, and registers, then apply an EPA-approved sanitizer to inhibit microbial growth. Before leaving, we perform an airflow test and provide before-and-after photos so you see the results.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Independent studies show that removing a 0.042-inch layer of dust from duct surfaces can reduce HVAC energy use by up to 21 %. Cleaner coils and blower motors operate with less strain, lowering wear and tear. Airborne particulate counts drop dramatically, which can translate to fewer respiratory flare-ups and a cleaner living environment. Many Loudon customers report lower utility bills and easier breathing within days of service.
Is the duct-cleaning process safe for my HVAC system and family?
Absolutely. We use soft-bristle brushes that will not scratch metal or flexible duct interiors, and our high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums prevent contaminants from re-entering your home. All disinfectants are EPA-registered for residential use, non-toxic once dry, and free of harsh fragrances. Our technicians are NADCA-certified, fully insured, and follow COVID-19 safety protocols, giving you peace of mind throughout the appointment.
