FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts professionally cleaned with hospital-grade vacuums?
Hospital-grade vacuums create up to 5,000 CFM of negative pressure, which captures dust, pollen, dander, mold spores and other contaminants instead of releasing them back into your living space. This level of suction, combined with HEPA filtration, removes 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns—far more than consumer-grade equipment can handle. The result is cleaner indoor air, fewer allergy triggers, and a more efficient HVAC system.
How often do Palmer homeowners need duct cleaning?
Most homes in Palmer benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years, but several factors can shorten that interval: recent renovations, pets that shed, smokers in the household, or residents with asthma or allergies. Because Palmer’s long heating season keeps systems running many months of the year, we recommend inspecting ductwork annually and scheduling a full cleaning whenever debris levels or indoor-air complaints warrant it.
What steps are included in your hospital-grade vacuum duct-cleaning service?
1) Pre-inspection with video camera to document debris levels. 2) Isolation of each trunk line and register to maintain proper negative pressure. 3) Connection of the hospital-grade HEPA vacuum to create a closed system. 4) Mechanical agitation using rotary brushes and air whips to dislodge stuck-on dirt. 5) Source-removal extraction as contaminants are pulled into the sealed HEPA unit. 6) Optional application of EPA-registered sanitizer or deodorizer. 7) Final camera inspection and homeowner walkthrough. 8) Written report with before-and-after images.
Will duct cleaning lower my heating and cooling bills?
Yes. Dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your furnace blower or air-conditioning fan to work harder. NADCA studies show that clean HVAC systems can run up to 20 % more efficiently. By restoring free airflow, you reduce energy consumption, lessen wear on motors and blowers, and may even extend equipment life—savings that usually offset the cost of cleaning within a single Palmer heating season.
Is the process safe for children, pets, and allergy sufferers?
Absolutely. Our vacuums are fully sealed HEPA systems that prevent particles from re-entering the home, and we use only low-VOC, fragrance-free sanitizers upon request. The agitation tools stay inside the ductwork, so there’s no risk to curious kids or pets. Many clients with asthma or severe allergies report noticeable relief within days because the cleaning removes a major source of airborne irritants.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take, and how should I prepare?
A standard single-family home in Palmer (about 10-15 supply registers) takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes, multiple HVAC systems, or heavy contamination can extend the visit. To prepare, please: 1) Clear furniture or rugs blocking vents; 2) Provide driveway access for our vacuum truck; 3) Secure pets in a safe room; 4) Have someone 18 + available to review pre- and post-inspection footage. We handle everything else, including protecting floors and returning your HVAC system to normal settings before we leave.
