FAQs
What does professional air-duct cleaning involve?
Our technicians arrive at your Old Fort home with a high-powered negative-air vacuum, rotary brushes, and compressed-air whips. After sealing off each register, we loosen and extract dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other debris all the way back to the HVAC blower. We finish by sanitizing the plenum and reinstalling clean filters, leaving the entire system free of contaminants.
How often should ducts be cleaned in the Old Fort climate?
Most homes need a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. Because Old Fort experiences humid summers and wood-burning stoves are common in winter, homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may benefit from service every 2–3 years. We offer free inspections to help you decide the right interval.
What signs indicate my ductwork needs cleaning?
Common red flags include visible dust puffs from supply vents, musty or burnt odors when the heat or AC starts, uneven airflow, unexplained allergy flare-ups, and noticeably dirty vent grilles. A recent remodeling project or rodent issue is also a strong indicator that your duct system should be assessed.
What advantages will I notice after the service?
Customers typically report easier breathing, fewer allergy symptoms, and a fresher indoor smell. Removing airflow restrictions may improve HVAC efficiency by 10–20 %, reducing energy bills and extending equipment life. Less dust recirculating also means less frequent housecleaning.
How long does the cleaning take and will it disrupt my day?
A standard single-family home in Old Fort generally takes 2–4 hours. We protect flooring with drop cloths, wear boot covers, and keep doors closed as much as possible to maintain indoor temperature. You can remain in the house during the entire process, and your HVAC system is ready for use as soon as we finish.
Are chemicals used, and is the process safe for children and pets?
We rely primarily on mechanical agitation and industrial HEPA filtration, not harsh chemicals. If microbial growth is detected, we offer plant-based EPA-registered disinfectants. All products are low-VOC and safe once dry—usually within 15 minutes—so kids and pets can return to treated areas almost immediately.
