FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for Louisville homes and businesses?
Louisville’s humid summers and pollen-heavy springs create ideal conditions for dust, mold spores, and allergens to accumulate in air ducts. When HVAC equipment runs, these contaminants circulate throughout the building, aggravating allergies and reducing system efficiency. Professional duct cleaning by certified technicians removes debris, sanitizes interior surfaces, and helps your heating and cooling equipment move air more freely. The result is cleaner indoor air, lower energy bills, and less wear on your HVAC system—especially valuable in Louisville’s four-season climate.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in the Louisville area?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years under normal conditions. In Louisville, we often suggest every 2–3 years if you have pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, or live near busy roads or construction sites. After a major renovation, smoke event, or mold issue, an immediate cleaning is advisable. Our certified technicians can inspect your system and give personalized guidance based on the age of your HVAC equipment and the air-quality challenges specific to Kentuckiana.
What certifications do your technicians hold, and why do they matter?
Each member of our duct-cleaning team carries NADCA Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) certification, which requires passing a national exam and ongoing continuing education. Several technicians also hold EPA Section 608 certification for safe refrigerant handling and HVAC Master Licensing in Kentucky. These credentials ensure we follow industry-approved cleaning protocols, use HEPA-filtered negative-air machines, and adhere to Louisville Metro environmental regulations—delivering safe, thorough, code-compliant service every time.
What is included in your duct-cleaning service?
Our standard package covers: 1) pre-clean camera inspection and airflow testing, 2) removal and HEPA-vacuum cleaning of all supply and return duct runs, trunk lines, and plenum boxes, 3) rotary brushing or compressed-air whipping to dislodge stubborn debris, 4) cleaning of grille covers, registers, and accessible blower components, 5) optional EPA-registered antimicrobial fogging, and 6) post-clean video verification. We also provide a written report and before/after photos so you can see the results.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning job take and will it disrupt my routine?
A standard 2,000–2,500 sq ft Louisville home with one HVAC system takes about 3–4 hours. Larger homes, multiple systems, or heavily contaminated ducts may take up to a full day. Our crew protects floors with drop cloths, seals each vent while working, and keeps noise to a minimum. You can remain in the home or business during cleaning; the HVAC system is safely powered down only while individual sections are serviced.
Can duct cleaning lower my energy bills or extend HVAC equipment life?
Yes. Dust buildup restricts airflow, forcing your furnace blower or A/C fan to work harder and run longer cycles—especially during Louisville’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters. After a professional cleaning, homeowners often see a 5–15 % improvement in airflow and a noticeable drop in utility costs. Cleaner ducts also reduce strain on key components like blower motors, coils, and heat exchangers, potentially adding years to your system’s lifespan and delaying expensive replacements.
