FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Robbins?
Robbins’ humid summers and chilly winters mean your HVAC system runs almost year-round, pulling dust, pollen, pet dander, and even construction debris into the ductwork. Over time these contaminants build up, reducing airflow, straining your furnace or AC, and circulating allergens throughout the home. A professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your system operate efficiently, lowering energy bills, and promoting healthier indoor air for your family.
How often should HVAC ducts be cleaned?
For most Robbins homeowners, we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies or asthma, recent renovations, smoking inside the home, or if you notice visible dust around vents. Annual HVAC maintenance visits help us evaluate your duct condition and suggest the right cleaning interval for your specific situation.
What signs indicate that my ductwork needs cleaning?
Common warning signs include: excessive dust buildup on supply registers even after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the system runs, unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups, inconsistent airflow between rooms, and visible mold growth inside registers or on duct insulation. If you notice any of these issues in your Robbins home, schedule an inspection to determine whether a full duct cleaning is necessary.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
Our NADCA-certified technicians arrive with negative-air machines, high-volume vacuums, and agitation tools. We begin by protecting floors and furniture, then remove and clean all supply and return registers. Next, we connect a HEPA-filtered vacuum to the trunk line to place the duct system under negative pressure while using rotary brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. We also clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil housing, and drain pan when accessible, and finish with an antimicrobial fog (optional) to inhibit mold growth. A post-cleaning inspection and before-and-after photos verify the results.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. By eliminating accumulated dust, pollen, mold spores, and other pollutants, duct cleaning reduces airborne contaminants that trigger allergies and respiratory issues. It also restores unobstructed airflow, allowing your furnace and air conditioner to heat or cool more efficiently, which can cut energy consumption by up to 15 %. Cleaner ducts also reduce wear on blower motors and coils, extending equipment life and lowering repair costs.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take, and what should I expect?
Most single-family homes in Robbins take 2–4 hours to complete, depending on square footage, number of vents, and duct accessibility. Before arrival, clear access to vents and the HVAC unit. During the cleaning, our technicians will keep doors closed as much as possible to maintain indoor temperature, and all equipment is fitted with HEPA filters to prevent dust escape. You can remain in the home, and there will be minimal interruption to your daily routine. Once finished, we’ll review the service report, show you photographs of the cleaned ducts, and answer any maintenance questions you have.
