FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned, and how often?
In Palmer’s climate, we run our heating systems for much of the year and AC units in the short, warm summers. Dust, pet dander, pollen, and even mold spores can accumulate quickly in the ductwork. A professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping protect your family’s respiratory health and keeping your HVAC equipment efficient. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years; however, households with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may benefit from more frequent service.
What signs indicate I need a duct cleaning in my Palmer home or business?
Tell-tale signs include: visible dust buildup on supply registers; musty or burnt odors when the HVAC system cycles on; inconsistent airflow between rooms; unexplained allergy or sinus flare-ups; an increase in utility bills; or evidence of rodents or insects inside the ducts. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection—our technicians can use cameras to confirm whether a thorough cleaning is warranted.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
Our team follows NADCA standards. We start with a system inspection and pre-cleaning camera footage. Next, we isolate the supply and return sides of your ductwork and attach a high-powered negative-air vacuum to create suction. Using rotary brushes and compressed-air whips, we dislodge debris all the way to the trunk lines. We clean supply/return plenums, registers, grills, and accessible blower components. Finally, we apply an EPA-approved sanitizer (optional) and provide post-cleaning photos so you can see the results.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take, and do I need to leave the property?
For an average single-family home in Palmer, service usually takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or commercial buildings with multiple HVAC zones can take longer. You can remain on-site; our equipment is self-contained and we maintain negative pressure so dust doesn’t escape into living spaces. We do recommend keeping pets secured and advising occupants with severe respiratory conditions to stay in another area during active cleaning.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. When ducts are free of obstructions, your furnace and air conditioner don’t have to work as hard to push air throughout the building, which can lower energy consumption by up to 20 %. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer circulating pollutants, resulting in fresher air, reduced odors, and fewer allergic reactions. While duct cleaning isn’t a cure-all, combined with regular filter changes and equipment maintenance, it is a proven way to boost overall HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality.
