FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts professionally cleaned in Reliance?
Industry organizations such as NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) recommend having ducts inspected annually and professionally cleaned every 3–5 years. In Reliance, you may need more frequent service if you’ve recently completed a renovation, have shedding pets, smoke indoors, or suffer from allergies. Our technicians will assess your system and indoor environment to suggest a maintenance schedule tailored to your home or business.
What signs indicate that my HVAC ductwork needs cleaning?
Common warning signs include visible dust or debris blowing from supply registers, musty or stale odors when the system runs, unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups, inconsistent airflow between rooms, high utility bills, or signs of vermin or mold inside the ductwork. If you notice one or more of these issues in your Reliance property, scheduling an inspection is the safest way to confirm whether cleaning is necessary.
What is included in Reliance’s professional duct cleaning service?
Our certified crew follows NADCA guidelines from start to finish. We begin with a camera inspection to map out dirt, debris, or microbial growth. Next, we isolate each duct run, create negative pressure with a high-powered vacuum (rated at 5,000+ CFM), and agitate contaminants using rotating brushes and compressed-air whips. We clean supply and return trunks, branch lines, registers, grills, blower compartment, and the evaporator coil housing. Finally, we apply an EPA-registered sanitizer upon request, re-seal access panels, and provide before-and-after images so you can see the results.
How does clean ductwork improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Removing dust, pollen, pet dander, and microbial contaminants reduces the particulate load circulating through your living spaces, which can ease allergy and asthma symptoms and eliminate musty odors. A clean system also allows air to move freely, reducing the workload on your blower motor. Studies show that well-maintained ductwork can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %, lowering energy bills and extending equipment life.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and my family?
Yes. We use soft-bristle brushes, agitation tools designed specifically for sheet-metal and flex ducts, and HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns. All access holes are sealed with code-approved panels to maintain system integrity. If we apply antimicrobial treatments, we use low-VOC, EPA-registered products that are child- and pet-safe once dry. Our technicians are insured, background-checked, and follow strict safety protocols while on-site.
How long does the duct cleaning process take and how should I prepare my home?
A typical single-family residence in Reliance takes 2–4 hours, while larger homes or commercial spaces can take a full day. You can prepare by clearing a path to all HVAC equipment, vents, and returns; securing pets; and informing us of any fragile items or special access considerations. Our team will protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths and wear shoe covers to keep your space tidy. Once we finish, you can resume normal HVAC operation immediately.
