FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Pelham?
Pelham’s hot, humid summers and pollen-heavy springs can cause dust, mold spores, and other contaminants to accumulate quickly in your ductwork. Certified duct cleaning removes this buildup, allowing conditioned air to flow freely and preventing allergens from recirculating through your home. A clean duct system helps your HVAC equipment operate more efficiently, reduces unnecessary wear on the blower motor, and can even extend the life of your system. It also minimizes musty odors and creates a healthier indoor environment for your family.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning with certified technicians?
Industry standards recommend having ducts inspected every 2–3 years and professionally cleaned every 3–5 years. However, Pelham homeowners may need more frequent service if they have pets that shed, smoke indoors, suffer from allergies, or have recently completed a renovation. After severe weather events that introduce excess moisture or debris into the system, an extra cleaning may also be necessary. Our certified technicians can assess your ductwork and provide a schedule tailored to your specific conditions.
What signs indicate that my home needs duct cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust or black streaks around supply registers, unexplained respiratory irritation, persistent musty or burning smells when the HVAC runs, and noticeably reduced airflow in certain rooms. If you see an excessive amount of dust gathering on furniture shortly after cleaning, or if your energy bills keep climbing without a change in usage, clogged ducts may be to blame. Homeowners who find rodent or insect activity in attic or crawl spaces should also consider immediate duct cleaning to remove droppings and nesting materials.
What does your duct cleaning process involve?
Our NADCA-certified technicians start with a camera inspection to document existing conditions. We then seal all registers and create negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum attached near the air handler. Using rotating brushes and compressed-air whips, we dislodge and extract debris from each trunk line and branch. After cleaning, we sanitize the duct interior with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment and replace your air filter. Finally, we provide before-and-after photos and a written report so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing dust, lint, and debris eliminates airflow obstructions, allowing your furnace or air conditioner to reach set temperatures faster and cycle off sooner. Studies show that clean ducts can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %, translating to lower utility costs. In addition, duct cleaning removes allergens, mold spores, and bacteria, resulting in cleaner air and fewer respiratory irritants. Many Pelham clients report relief from allergy symptoms and less dust accumulation on surfaces after service.
Are your technicians licensed and insured, and do you offer any guarantees?
Absolutely. Every technician who enters your home is state-licensed, background-checked, and certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and EPA for refrigerant handling. We carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance for your protection. Our duct cleaning comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee: if you are not satisfied with airflow or cleanliness, we will return and re-clean the affected areas at no additional cost. We also offer optional maintenance plans that bundle discounted cleanings with seasonal HVAC tune-ups.
