FAQs
Why should I choose truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning over portable equipment?
Truck-mounted systems generate up to 12,000–16,000 CFM of suction—several times more than the best portable machines. This high negative pressure removes heavier debris, construction dust, pet hair, and microbial buildup in a single pass, leaving virtually no contaminants behind. Because the debris is pulled outside to the truck’s containment tank, nothing is re-released into your living space. For large homes and light-commercial buildings in Maryville, truck-mounted vacuums are simply faster, cleaner, and more thorough than portable units.
How often should residential ductwork in Maryville be professionally cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends inspecting ductwork every 2 years and cleaning every 3–5 years. In Maryville’s humid climate, you might lean toward the 3-year mark, especially if your household includes allergy sufferers, pets that shed, recent remodeling projects, or if you run your HVAC system year-round for heating and cooling. Businesses, daycares, and medical offices typically schedule annual cleanings to meet indoor air-quality standards.
What can I expect during the duct-cleaning appointment?
1. Pre-inspection: Our technician walks through your home, photographs the supply and return plenums, and explains the process. 2. System setup: Large vacuum hose is connected from the truck to your main trunk line; all supply registers are sealed to create negative pressure. 3. Agitation & extraction: Pneumatic whips, rotary brushes, and air snakes dislodge debris while the truck-mounted vacuum pulls it outside. 4. Component cleaning: We remove, clean, and reinstall supply grills, return vents, blower compartment, and A-coil pan as accessible. 5. Sanitizing (optional): An EPA-registered antimicrobial fog can be applied to inhibit future mold and bacterial growth. 6. Final walk-through: You see before-and-after photos, and we reset thermostats and furniture. The entire process usually takes 2–4 hours for a 2,000-sq-ft home.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and indoor air quality?
Yes. We follow NADCA ACR 2021 standards and use soft-bristle brushes or air whips that match your duct material—flex, metal, or fiberglass-lined. All access holes are sealed with code-approved plates and gaskets. Because the debris is exhausted directly to the truck, there is no risk of re-contamination indoors. Customers typically notice less dust on furniture and easier breathing within 24 hours.
Will the service disrupt my daily routine?
Minimal disruption is expected. We ask that a standard driveway space be available for the vacuum truck and that pets be secured for their safety. While the vacuum is running you’ll hear a low hum, but most clients stay comfortably inside. Heating or cooling will be off during the cleaning, so we schedule around extreme weather and can provide portable heaters or fans if needed. After we finish, your HVAC system is back online immediately.
How much does truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning cost in Maryville and what factors affect the price?
Residential pricing ranges from $425–$675 for most homes under 3,000 sq ft. Variables include number of HVAC systems, total supply/return vents, accessibility of attic or crawlspace duct runs, presence of excessive construction debris, and optional services such as dryer-vent cleaning or antimicrobial fogging. We offer free on-site or virtual estimates, and all pricing is flat-rate with no surprise up-charges.
