FAQs
Why should I hire certified technicians for duct cleaning instead of doing it myself?
Certified technicians are trained to follow National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and EPA guidelines that safeguard both your HVAC equipment and indoor air quality. They use negative-pressure vacuum systems, HEPA-filtered tools, and video inspection cameras to remove dust, pollen, mold spores, and debris without releasing contaminants back into your home. DIY methods rarely reach deep trunk lines, can damage fragile ductwork, and may void manufacturer warranties on your heating and cooling system.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in McDonald’s climate?
For most homes in the McDonald area, we recommend a professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have recently completed a renovation, suffer from allergies or asthma, own shedding pets, or notice visible dust puffs from supply registers. Our technicians can inspect your ductwork and provide a personalized schedule based on local humidity, pollen counts, and household factors.
What are the warning signs that my ducts need professional cleaning?
Common indicators include: (1) musty or dusty odors when the HVAC kicks on, (2) visible mold growth inside vents or around drip pans, (3) excessive dust accumulation on furniture even after cleaning, (4) inconsistent airflow or hot/cold spots, (5) unexplained increases in energy bills, and (6) recent pest infestations or construction dust. If you notice one or more of these issues, scheduling an inspection is the best first step.
What exactly is included in your duct cleaning service?
Our certified team begins with a camera inspection to document current conditions. We then seal each register, attach a high-powered negative-pressure vacuum to the main trunk line, and use rotating agitation brushes to dislodge debris. All supply and return branches, plenums, and accessible trunk lines are cleaned. We also clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil access, drain pan, and change the air filter. Post-cleaning, we provide before-and-after photos and a written report.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Removing accumulated dust, dander, and microbial growth reduces airborne irritants that trigger allergies and respiratory issues. Clean ducts allow conditioned air to flow freely, so your heating and air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain set temperatures. Studies show properly cleaned ducts can reduce system strain by up to 20 percent, translating to lower energy bills and prolonging equipment life.
How much does professional duct cleaning cost, and how do I schedule an appointment?
In McDonald, whole-house duct cleaning for a single-zone system typically ranges from $350 to $550, depending on square footage, number of registers, and system accessibility. Larger homes or systems with heavy contamination (mold, rodents) may incur additional charges. To get an exact quote, call our office at (XXX) XXX-XXXX or use our online booking form.
