FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by a certified heating and air-conditioning contractor in McMinnville?
Air ducts circulate all the air your family breathes. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even rodent debris can accumulate inside the ductwork, reducing indoor air quality and forcing your HVAC equipment to work harder. A certified contractor follows National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and EPA best practices, uses specialized negative-pressure vacuums, and seals the system properly after service. The result is cleaner air, lower utility bills, and longer HVAC life—especially valuable in McMinnville, where damp winters can aggravate mold growth inside neglected ducts.
How often should McMinnville homeowners schedule professional duct cleaning?
For most homes we recommend every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service—every 2–3 years—if you have pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling work, or if you smoke indoors. McMinnville’s rainy season can increase indoor humidity, which encourages mold and mildew inside ducts; in these cases, annual visual inspections and moisture checks are wise. Our technicians will evaluate your system and suggest a schedule tailored to your household and local climate conditions.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include: (1) visible dust puffs or debris blowing out of supply registers; (2) persistent musty or burning odors when the furnace or AC runs; (3) allergy or respiratory symptoms that improve when you leave the house; (4) dark buildup or streaks around vent grilles; (5) excessive dust on furniture even after regular cleaning; and (6) recent infestation by rodents or insects. If you notice any of these, call our McMinnville office for a no-obligation inspection.
What exactly is included in Certified Heating’s duct-cleaning service?
Our NADCA-trained crew arrives in a fully equipped vacuum truck. We (1) inspect the entire duct system—including supply, return, and trunk lines—using high-definition cameras; (2) place the system under negative pressure to prevent debris from escaping into your living space; (3) agitate and dislodge contaminants with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips; (4) remove and clean all supply and return registers; (5) sanitize metal ductwork with an EPA-registered antimicrobial (optional); (6) reseal and re-insulate access panels; and (7) perform a post-cleaning camera tour so you can see the results. We also change your HVAC filter and provide written before-and-after particulate readings.
How much does professional duct cleaning cost in McMinnville, and do you offer free estimates?
Pricing varies with home size, number of vents, duct condition, and whether you choose add-ons such as dryer-vent cleaning or antimicrobial fogging. In McMinnville, most single-family homes fall between $450 and $750. Larger or multi-zone systems can cost more. We provide free, no-pressure on-site estimates so you know the exact investment before any work begins. Seasonal coupons and combined maintenance packages are also available to help you save.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and home?
Yes—when performed by certified technicians using the correct equipment. We isolate each duct run and maintain steady negative pressure so dislodged debris goes directly into our HEPA-filtered vacuum. Our rotating brushes are soft-bristled to prevent damage to metal or flexible ducts. All access panels are sealed airtight after service, and we lay down drop cloths and wear boot covers to protect your floors. Throughout the process, your furnace blower and evaporator coil are shielded so no debris contacts sensitive components, ensuring your system operates flawlessly once we’re done.
