FAQs
What is truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning and why is it more effective than portable equipment?
A truck-mounted system is a large, engine-driven vacuum that stays outside your home in our service truck. It produces 10,000–15,000 CFM of suction—up to 10 times more than most portable units—so dust, debris, pet hair, and microbial contaminants are pulled out of your ductwork and captured in a self-contained filtration system. Because the debris never enters your living space and the hose run is sealed directly to your supply and return trunks, cross-contamination is virtually eliminated and the job is finished faster and more thoroughly.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Ooltewah?
For most homes in the Ooltewah climate zone, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full system cleaning every 3–5 years. You may want more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have smokers, pets that shed, recent renovations, family members with allergies or asthma, or if you notice visible dust buildup around vents. We’re happy to perform an inspection and let you know if cleaning is warranted.
What benefits can I expect after a professional duct cleaning?
Customers typically report: (1) noticeably cleaner indoor air and reduced allergy or asthma symptoms; (2) less household dust on furniture and floors; (3) improved HVAC efficiency, often lowering energy bills 5–15 %; (4) longer equipment life because motors and coils stay free of debris; and (5) elimination of musty or ‘dirty sock’ odors that can develop in neglected duct systems.
How long does the process take and will I need to leave my home?
A standard single-system home (2,000–3,000 sq ft) usually takes 2–4 hours with two technicians. Larger homes or multiple systems can take 5–6 hours. You can stay in the house the entire time; we just ask that pets and children stay clear of our hoses and equipment for safety. Our crew wears shoe covers and uses corner guards to protect your walls and floors.
Are your technicians certified and what standards do you follow?
Yes. All of our lead technicians are NADCA-certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialists (ASCS) and the company is fully insured in Tennessee. We follow NADCA’s ACR Standard, which specifies source-removal methods, containment practices, and post-cleaning verification. We also use EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments when requested, and we provide before-and-after photos so you can see the results.
How much does duct cleaning cost in Ooltewah and what factors affect the price?
Pricing starts at $399 for a single HVAC system with up to 10 supply vents. Costs increase with additional supply or return runs, multiple systems, hard-to-reach crawl-space or attic ducts, and optional add-ons such as dryer-vent cleaning or coil sanitizing. We provide free on-site or virtual estimates, and all pricing is flat-rate—no surprise upcharges once we arrive.
