FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my home in Newcomb?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and even salt-laden coastal air can accumulate in your ductwork. In Newcomb’s temperate climate, where we switch between heating and cooling for much of the year, that build-up is constantly circulated through your living spaces. Thorough cleaning removes these contaminants, helping to prevent respiratory irritation, reduce musty odours and keep your HVAC system running efficiently.
How do I know if my air ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include visible dust puffs coming from registers, dark marks around vents, a musty smell when the system starts, unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups, higher-than-normal energy bills and signs of pests or mould inside the ducts. If it has been more than 3–5 years since your last service, or you’ve recently renovated, moved into a new home, or had a rodent or water intrusion issue, it’s wise to schedule an inspection.
What does the duct cleaning process involve and how long does it take?
Our certified technicians start by sealing each register and connecting a high-powered negative-pressure vacuum to the main trunk line. Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge debris, which is drawn directly into a HEPA-filtered collection unit. We then clean the blower, coils and plenums and finish with an optional hospital-grade sanitising fog. A typical single-storey, three-bedroom home in Newcomb takes 2–4 hours; larger or multi-storey properties can take longer.
Will duct cleaning really lower my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. A layer of dust only 0.5 mm thick on a coil can reduce system efficiency by up to 15 %. Removing that build-up allows air to flow freely, so your heater or air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard, potentially cutting energy costs by 5–20 %. At the same time, eliminating trapped allergens and microbial growth can lead to noticeably cleaner, healthier air—especially beneficial for children, seniors and allergy sufferers.
Is the cleaning process safe for my HVAC system and my family?
Absolutely. We use industry-approved equipment set to the correct pressure for residential ducting, so there is no risk of damage to flexible or sheet-metal ducts. Our vacuums are fitted with medical-grade HEPA filters that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 µm, preventing debris from re-entering your home. If you opt for sanitising, we apply a non-toxic, food-safe solution that dissipates within minutes and leaves no harmful residue.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning and what will it cost?
For most Newcomb households we recommend a thorough clean every 3–5 years, or sooner if you have pets, smokers or family members with respiratory issues. After major renovations or a storm event, an immediate inspection is advisable. Pricing depends on the number of vents and the accessibility of your system, but a standard 3-bedroom home typically ranges from $350 to $550 including GST.
