FAQs
What is duct cleaning and why is it important for my heating and air-conditioning system?
Duct cleaning is the mechanical removal of dust, allergens, mould spores and other contaminants that accumulate on the inner walls of your home’s supply and return air ducts. A clean duct network allows your heating and cooling equipment to push air more freely, reduces wear on the blower motor, helps lower energy bills and limits the circulation of airborne irritants. For families in Newcomb, where seaside humidity can promote mould growth inside ducts, professional cleaning is an essential part of protecting both indoor air quality and HVAC performance.
How often should I have my ducts professionally cleaned in Newcomb?
Industry bodies such as NADCA recommend a full duct clean every 3–5 years for the average household. In Newcomb you may need the service closer to every 2–3 years if you: • have pets that shed hair and dander • have family members with asthma or allergies • have completed recent renovations that generated dust • notice a musty smell due to the town’s humid coastal climate. We offer free, no-obligation inspections that let us advise on the exact schedule your property requires.
What are the warning signs that my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include • persistent dust settling on furniture shortly after cleaning • dark lines or “ghosting” around supply vents and ceilings • inconsistent airflow or rooms that feel stuffy • musty or mouldy odours when the system starts • unexplained increases in energy bills • allergy or respiratory symptoms that improve when you leave the house. If you notice one or more of these signs, booking an inspection is recommended.
What does your duct-cleaning process involve and is it safe for my property?
Our certified technicians follow a five-step procedure: 1. Pre-inspection with a high-definition duct camera to locate trouble spots. 2. Sealing of registers and setup of a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine that draws contaminants outside your home. 3. Mechanical agitation using rotary brushes and air whips to dislodge debris. 4. Source removal with a powerful vacuum (rated at 5,000+ CFM) to extract loosened particles. 5. Optional antimicrobial fogging with hospital-grade, eco-friendly disinfectant. All work is performed to NADCA standards, and your floors, walls and furnishings are fully protected with drop sheets and corner guards. No harsh chemicals are used, so the process is safe for children, pets and sensitive electronics.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and lower my energy bills?
Yes. By removing years of accumulated dust and bio-contaminants, duct cleaning reduces the number of particles recirculating through your living spaces, which can ease allergy and asthma symptoms. Clearing blockages also decreases static pressure inside the ductwork, allowing your furnace or air-conditioner blower to operate at its designed efficiency. Studies show that clean ducts can improve airflow by up to 20 %, leading to measurable energy savings—especially during Newcomb’s hot summers when air-conditioning runs for longer cycles.
How long does the service take and how should I prepare for your arrival?
A typical single-storey home in Newcomb takes 2–4 hours, while larger two-storey homes or properties with multiple HVAC systems may require 4–6 hours. To help us work efficiently, please: • clear furniture or personal items away from vents and returns • ensure there is a clear path to the air handler/furnace closet • secure pets in a separate room for their safety • plan to be on-site to review before-and-after photos with the lead technician. Our team will handle everything else, leaving your home clean, your ducts contaminant-free and your HVAC system ready to perform at its best.
