FAQs
What is truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning and how is it better than portable equipment?
A truck-mounted system uses a powerful vacuum engine built into a service truck. Flexible 8″–12″ hoses are connected from the truck to your supply and return trunks, creating up to 15,000 CFM of suction—roughly 10× the power of typical portable machines. This high negative pressure pulls heavy debris, construction dust, pet hair, pollen, and microbial growth out of the ductwork in one direction, preventing contaminants from escaping into your living space. Because the debris is collected in an exterior truck hopper, no soil or odors are released inside your home.
How often should Louisville homeowners schedule professional duct cleaning?
Most homes benefit from a full cleaning every 3–5 years, but Louisville’s humid summers, spring pollen bursts, and frequent Ohio River Valley mold spores can shorten that cycle. If you have pets, allergy sufferers, recent renovations, or notice visible dust plumes from registers, schedule service every 2–3 years. We also recommend a post-construction cleaning whenever new drywall, flooring, or HVAC equipment has been installed.
What health and energy-efficiency advantages can I expect after duct cleaning?
Removing built-up dust, dander, and microbial film improves indoor air quality, which can reduce allergy and asthma flare-ups, lessen musty odors, and create a cleaner home overall. Clean ducts allow your furnace blower and A/C coil to operate with less airflow resistance, often improving system efficiency by 5–15 %. That can translate into lower utility bills and longer equipment life because the motor and compressor do not have to work as hard.
Will duct cleaning leave a mess or blow dust around my house?
No. Our technicians seal off each register, create a vacuum draw toward the truck, and use agitation tools that push debris directly into the suction stream. Because the containment pressure is negative, no dust escapes into living areas. We lay down protective floor coverings, wear booties, and vacuum each register area after the job is complete. Your home is left as clean—or cleaner—than we found it.
How long does a complete truck-mounted duct cleaning take?
Time varies with home size and complexity, but a typical single-zone, 2,000-square-foot Louisville residence takes 2–3 hours with a two-person crew. Larger homes, multiple HVAC systems, or heavily contaminated ducts may take 4–6 hours. We provide a precise time window during scheduling and keep you informed throughout the process so you can plan your day.
Are your technicians certified, and what standards do you follow?
Yes. All crew leaders are certified by NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) and undergo yearly continuing education. We follow NADCA ACR standards, use EPA-registered sanitizing agents when requested, and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Our commitment ensures your ductwork is cleaned safely, thoroughly, and in compliance with industry best practices.
