FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by NADCA-certified technicians?
NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification means our technicians have undergone rigorous training, follow strict cleaning standards, and use approved equipment and procedures. Hiring NADCA-certified pros gives you peace of mind that your ductwork will be properly inspected, cleaned, and re-sealed without shortcuts that could damage your HVAC system or void the manufacturer’s warranty.
How often should Oakdale homeowners schedule professional duct cleaning?
For most Oakdale residences, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need it sooner if you’ve recently completed a remodeling project, notice excessive dust or musty odors, have pets that shed, or family members with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues. We can perform a free inspection to determine if an earlier service is necessary.
What can I expect during a typical duct cleaning appointment?
1) Arrival & setup: Our uniformed team lays down protective drops and plastic to safeguard floors and furnishings. 2) System inspection: We open access panels, photograph the interior of your ducts, and check blower, coils, and return plenums. 3) Negative pressure: A high-powered vacuum truck is connected to create a closed suction loop that pulls debris out of the home. 4) Source removal: We agitate each supply and return run with rotating brushes, compressed-air whips, and skipper balls to dislodge built-up dust and microbial growth. 5) Sanitation & sealing: On request we apply an EPA-registered sanitizer, then seal any access holes. 6) Final report: You’ll get before-and-after images and a written summary of our findings.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Removing accumulated dust, pet dander, pollen, and microbial growth helps reduce airborne particles that can trigger allergies and respiratory irritation. Clear ductwork also allows your HVAC blower to move air with less resistance, which can lower energy consumption by up to 20% and extend the life of your furnace and air-conditioning components.
Is duct cleaning messy, and will you need to remove or damage vents or drywall?
Not at all. Our negative-pressure containment keeps debris from escaping into the living space, and we collect contaminants in sealed drums on our vacuum truck. All supply and return grilles are removed with care, cleaned, and reinstalled; we rarely need to cut additional access unless your system lacks service panels, in which case we drill small circular holes that we reseal with sheet-metal patches and mastic rated for HVAC use.
How long does a full-home HVAC duct cleaning service take and how much does it cost in Oakdale?
A standard single-family home (1,800–2,500 sq. ft.) usually takes 2–4 hours with a two-person crew. Larger homes or systems with multiple HVAC units can take 4–6 hours. Pricing in Oakdale typically ranges from $425 to $675 for most houses, depending on duct length, number of vents, and any add-ons like coil cleaning or antimicrobial treatment.
