FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for Louisville homeowners?
Louisville’s humid summers and pollen-heavy springs allow mold spores, dust, and allergens to accumulate quickly inside ductwork. When your system runs, it circulates those contaminants into every room, aggravating asthma, allergies, and respiratory issues. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, restores healthy airflow, and helps your HVAC equipment run more efficiently, which is especially valuable during the city’s hot, muggy cooling season and chilly winters.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system in Louisville?
Most homes benefit from a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have pets that shed, smokers in the home, recent renovations, water damage, or household members with allergies. Because Louisville experiences high pollen counts and seasonal humidity swings, we recommend an annual inspection so we can advise whether a full cleaning is necessary.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning or inspection?
Common red flags include visible dust blowing from supply vents, dark lines forming around vent covers, unexplained musty or burnt smells when the HVAC turns on, uneven airflow between rooms, frequent filter clogging, or a recent spike in energy bills. If you notice excessive sneezing or allergy flare-ups indoors, that can also signal dirty ducts.
What is included in your duct-cleaning service and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians start with a camera inspection to document duct conditions. We then seal all registers, create negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and use rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris from every trunk and branch line. We clean the blower, evaporator coil, drain pan, and return plenum, then sanitize with an EPA-registered antimicrobial if requested. An average single-zone home in Louisville takes 3–5 hours; larger homes or systems with heavy buildup may take longer.
Will duct cleaning really lower my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder and draw more electricity or gas. After cleaning, many clients see 5–15 % energy savings. Removing contaminants also reduces airborne particles and odors, leading to cleaner indoor air and less strain on filters, which boosts IAQ and can extend equipment life.
Is your duct-cleaning process safe for my family, pets, and HVAC system?
Absolutely. We follow National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards and use negative-pressure containment with HEPA filtration to prevent debris from escaping into living spaces. Our rotary tools are soft-bristle and designed not to damage metal or flexible ducts. Any optional sanitizers are EPA-approved for residential use and leave no harmful residue. We protect floors and furnishings, and every technician is background-checked and fully insured for your peace of mind.
