FAQs

How does professional duct cleaning help lower my heating and cooling bills in Louisville?

When dust, pet dander, and Louisvilles high pollen counts accumulate inside ductwork, your HVAC blower has to work harder to push air through the system. The added resistance increases run times and electricity or gas consumption. A thorough cleaning removes these obstructions, restores proper airflow, and can improve system efficiency by 103%. Over the course of Louisville7fs long humid summers and chilly winters, that reduction in run time translates into noticeably lower monthly utility bills.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in the Louisville area?

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends every 34 years for the average household, but local conditions can shorten that timeline. Louisville7fs Ohio River Valley location means heavier spring pollen and higher summer humidity, both of which accelerate dust and mold buildup. Homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers typically benefit from cleaning every 2 years. Our free inspection can tell you whether you7fve reached the point where cleaning will boost efficiency and indoor air quality.

What does your duct cleaning process include?

1. Pre-inspection using a high-definition duct camera to spot heavy debris or microbial growth. 2. Protection of flooring and furniture with drop cloths and vent covers. 3. Negative-pressure vacuum system (rated at 3,000+ CFM) attached to the main trunk line to pull contaminants outside the home. 4. Agitation with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge stubborn dust and lint. 5. Optional eco-friendly antimicrobial fog to inhibit future mold growth—safe for kids and pets. 6. Post-cleaning camera verification and a written report of efficiency-boosting findings. The entire service typically takes 2–4 hours for an average Louisville-area home and leaves your ducts as close to factory-clean as possible.

Will duct cleaning reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality?

Yes. Louisville ranks among the top 20 U.S. cities for spring and fall allergies. Dust mites, pollen, and mold spores collect in ductwork and re-circulate every time the HVAC system runs. After cleaning, homeowners often report fewer allergy flare-ups, less visible dust on furniture, and improved HVAC filter life. Pairing duct cleaning with a high-MERV filter or whole-home air purifier can further reduce airborne contaminants.

Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC equipment and ductwork?

Absolutely. We follow NADCA ACR standards and use soft-bristle rotary brushes plus compressed-air tools designed specifically for sheet-metal, flex, and fiberboard ducts. Our negative-pressure vacuums prevent debris from entering the blower or evaporator coil, protecting your equipment. We also seal each access point with code-approved plates so your system7fs static pressure and efficiency remain intact.

How much does duct cleaning cost in the Louisville market and what kind of savings can I expect?

Pricing depends on square footage, number of supply/return vents, and duct accessibility. Most Louisville single-family homes fall between $450 and $650. Homes with multiple HVAC systems or hard-to-reach crawl-space ducts run higher. Utility savings vary by system age and dirt level, but EnergyStar data show that clean ductwork and coils can reduce overall HVAC energy use by 103%. At current LG&E/KU rates, many customers recoup the service cost within the first 1–2 cooling and heating seasons.
