FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for a healthier home in Petros?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside your heating and cooling ducts. When your HVAC system runs, those pollutants are circulated into the living space, aggravating allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. A professional duct cleaning removes this build-up, improving indoor air quality, reducing odors, and helping your HVAC equipment operate more efficiently—an important benefit in Petros, where seasonal humidity can encourage mold growth.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in the Petros area?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for an average home. In Petros, we advise leaning toward the shorter end of that range if you have pets, smoke indoors, recently completed a renovation, or notice visible dust around supply vents. Homes with allergy sufferers or respiratory sensitivities may benefit from a yearly inspection and more frequent cleanings if contaminant levels are high.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include: persistent dust buildup on furniture despite regular cleaning, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system runs, visible dust or debris blowing from supply registers, unexplained spikes in utility bills, or worsening allergy or asthma symptoms indoors. If you notice any of these, scheduling a duct inspection is the best first step.
What is included in your duct cleaning service?
Our Petros team follows NADCA guidelines. We begin with a camera inspection to document conditions. Then we: 1) seal each register; 2) place the system under negative air pressure with a high-powered vacuum; 3) agitate debris with rotary brushes and compressed-air whips; 4) sanitize ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial (optional); 5) clean the blower, coils, and drain pan; 6) replace or upgrade your air filter. When finished, we provide before-and-after photos and a written report.
Will duct cleaning disrupt my daily routine or damage my HVAC system?
A typical single-family home in Petros takes 2–4 hours to complete. Our technicians protect floors, wear boot covers, and use sealed containment so no dust escapes into living areas. We never cut inaccessible openings without homeowner approval, and we reinstall access panels with code-compliant gaskets. All equipment is designed specifically for HVAC cleaning, so your system’s components will not be harmed.
How much does duct cleaning cost, and can it lower my energy bills?
Pricing depends on home size, number of vents, and duct condition, but most Petros homes fall between $350 and $650. While duct cleaning alone won’t replace regular HVAC maintenance, removing blockages improves airflow, allowing your system to heat and cool more efficiently. The EPA found that clean ducts, coupled with a clean blower and coil, can reduce energy consumption by up to 11%, delivering noticeable savings over the course of our long Tennessee heating and cooling seasons.
