FAQs
What makes truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning different from portable equipment?
Truck-mounted systems generate up to 12,000 CFM of suction—several times more than most portable units—allowing us to pull heavy debris, pet hair, and construction dust out of long duct runs in a single pass. Because the debris is collected outside your Maynardville home in a sealed truck hopper, there is virtually no chance of re-introducing contaminants into your living space.
How often should I have my HVAC ducts cleaned in Maynardville?
For most Union County homes we recommend a professional cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need service sooner if you’ve recently remodeled, have multiple pets, experience excessive pollen, or notice visible dust build-up around supply vents. Our technicians can perform an inspection and let you know whether cleaning is warranted.
Will duct cleaning help lower my heating and cooling bills?
Yes. Removing accumulated dust, dander, and obstructions improves airflow through your supply and return ducts, allowing your furnace or air conditioner to operate more efficiently. Homeowners in Maynardville often report 5-15 % energy savings after a thorough truck-mounted vacuum cleaning and filter change.
Is the process safe for my HVAC system and indoor air quality?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA standards, placing the system under negative pressure with our truck-mounted vacuum, then agitating each branch with soft-bristle rotary brushes and compressed-air whips designed for sheet-metal and flex ducts. All access points are sealed afterward, and we install a new high-MERV filter to capture any residual particles, leaving your indoor air cleaner than before.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take?
A standard single-system Maynardville home (up to about 2,500 sq ft) usually takes 2–3 hours start-to-finish. Larger homes, multi-system setups, or heavily contaminated ducts may require 4–5 hours. We provide a precise time estimate once we inspect your HVAC layout.
What does duct cleaning cost and what’s included in your service?
Most residential jobs in Maynardville range from $350–$550, depending on square footage, number of vents, and system complexity. The price includes: pre-inspection with camera, truck-mounted vacuuming of all supply/return trunks and branches, mechanical agitation, disinfectant mist (upon request), cleaning of the blower compartment, replacing the customer-supplied air filter, and a post-service video verification.
