FAQs
What are rotating brush tools, and how do they improve duct cleaning?
Rotating brush tools are motor-driven, nylon or soft-bristle brushes that spin inside your supply and return ducts while connected to a high-powered vacuum. The rotation agitates and loosens caked-on dust, lint, pet hair, and microbial film that ordinary air-washing or negative-air methods often leave behind. Because the debris is dislodged mechanically and captured immediately by the vacuum, the process delivers a more thorough cleaning and measurably lowers airborne particulate levels.
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in McDonald?
McDonald’s seasonal swings—from humid summers to chilly winters—cause HVAC systems to run almost year-round. Over time, dust, pollen, construction debris, and even insulation fibers accumulate in the ductwork, restricting airflow and forcing your heating and cooling equipment to work harder. Professional rotating-brush duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your system maintain proper static pressure, reducing wear on blowers and coils, and supporting healthier indoor air for your family.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned with the rotating-brush method?
For most McDonald homeowners, a full rotating-brush duct cleaning every 3–5 years is sufficient. You may need more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have pets that shed, someone in the household suffers from allergies/asthma, you’ve completed a remodeling project, or you notice visible dust plumes from registers. Conversely, newer homes with excellent filtration and no indoor pets might stretch the interval toward the five-year mark.
Is the rotating-brush cleaning process safe for my ductwork and indoor air quality?
Yes. We select brush heads matched to the diameter and material of your ducts (flexible, metal, or fiberglass-lined). The bristles are firm enough to dislodge contaminants yet gentle enough not to tear or abrade the duct walls. All loosened debris is pulled into a sealed HEPA-filtered collection unit, so none re-enters your living space. We also cover vents and use negative pressure to protect indoor air quality throughout the service.
What should I expect during a rotating-brush duct cleaning visit, and how long does it take?
A typical residence in McDonald takes 2–4 hours, depending on square footage and the number of supply and return runs. Our technicians will: 1) inspect the system and take before-photos, 2) seal each register, 3) connect the vacuum at the trunk line, 4) run rotating brushes through every branch of the system, 5) sanitize if requested, and 6) show you after-photos and a complete report. You do not need to leave your home; minimal noise and no chemical odors are produced.
Will rotating-brush duct cleaning help lower my energy bills and improve HVAC efficiency?
By removing ¼-inch or more of debris, we can restore up to 30 % of lost airflow. Better airflow means your furnace and air conditioner reach set temperatures more quickly and cycle off sooner, reducing energy consumption. Clean ducts also keep evaporator coils and blower motors cleaner for longer, decreasing maintenance costs and prolonging equipment life. While exact savings vary, many homeowners see noticeable improvements in comfort and a modest drop in monthly utility bills.
