FAQs
What is a truck-mounted vacuum system and how does it improve duct cleaning?
A truck-mounted vacuum is a powerful, industrial-grade machine that stays outside your home while a large, sealed hose is fed to your ductwork. It can generate 10,000–12,000 CFM of suction—roughly 30–40 times more than most portable units—so every register is placed under strong negative pressure. As our technicians agitate the supply and return runs with air whips and rotary brushes, dust, pet hair, mold spores and construction debris are pulled directly into the truck’s containment tank instead of being released inside the living space. The result is a faster, deeper, and cleaner service with zero mess left behind.
How often should homeowners in Pelham schedule professional air-duct cleaning?
For most homes we recommend a full truck-mounted cleaning every 3–5 years. Pelham’s humid summers, frequent spring pollen and occasional wildfire smoke can shorten that interval—especially if anyone in the household has asthma, severe allergies or respiratory issues. You should also consider cleaning sooner if you have completed a renovation, installed a new furnace or A/C, recently moved into an older home, or have multiple shedding pets. Commercial properties and medical facilities may need annual service to meet indoor-air-quality guidelines.
What signs indicate my HVAC ducts need to be cleaned?
Common red flags include visible dust puffs when the system starts, dark buildup around supply grills, persistent musty or burning smells, uneven airflow, higher energy bills, or more frequent allergy or sinus flare-ups indoors. If you shine a flashlight through a vent and see matted debris, drywall dust or cobwebs, those contaminants are already circulating through the home and professional cleaning is advised.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes—removing accumulated dust, biological growth and particulate matter eliminates a major source of indoor pollutants, helping reduce triggers for asthma, allergies and respiratory irritation. A clean air path also allows your blower motor and evaporator coil to operate with less resistance, which can lower fan amperage and improve heat-exchange efficiency. Independent studies show properly cleaned ductwork can translate into 5–20 % HVAC energy savings, longer equipment life and fewer service calls.
How long does a truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning take and what should I expect?
A standard 2,000 sq ft single-family home in Pelham usually takes 2–4 hours. We start with a walk-through, protect flooring and furniture, cut temporary access ports, and connect the main vacuum hose. Each branch line is isolated and cleaned with compressed-air whips or rotary brushes while the truck maintains continuous suction. Afterward we fog an optional eco-friendly sanitizer, seal the access panels, reinstall grills, and perform a final system test. You can stay in the house the entire time, and all debris leaves via the hose to the truck’s sealed tank—no dust inside, no cleanup for you.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and what qualifications do your technicians hold?
Absolutely. We follow the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) ACR Standard, use soft-bristle or rubber agitation tools sized to your duct diameter, and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage metal, flex or duct board. All access panels are fitted with code-compliant gaskets to preserve system integrity and warranty coverage. Our Pelham team is NADCA-certified, fully insured, trained in WHMIS/GHS and adheres to OSHA safety protocols. We back our work with a written satisfaction guarantee and will gladly walk you through the results before we leave.
