FAQs
Why is duct cleaning especially important for homes with pets in Robbins?
Pet dander, fur, and other allergens can accumulate rapidly in HVAC ducts when you have cats, dogs, or other furry companions. Robbins’ humid climate can also promote mold growth on this organic debris. Regular duct cleaning removes these particles, improving indoor air quality, reducing allergy symptoms, and helping your HVAC system operate efficiently.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning if I have multiple pets?
For households with two or more shedding pets, we recommend a professional duct cleaning every 2–3 years, versus the 4–5-year interval suggested for pet-free homes. If family members suffer from allergies or asthma, you may benefit from annual inspections and more frequent cleanings.
Can duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. A buildup of pet hair, dander, and dust restricts airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and consume more energy. After a thorough duct cleaning, air flows freely, your system cycles less often, and you may see a 5–15 % reduction in heating and cooling costs, depending on overall system condition.
Will duct cleaning remove pet odors from my home?
Duct cleaning removes trapped hair, dander, and moisture-soaked dust inside the ductwork—common sources of lingering pet odors. While it won’t eliminate odors coming directly from your pets or carpets, most customers notice a significant improvement in overall freshness after service. For stubborn smells, pair cleaning with filter upgrades and UV air purification.
Is duct cleaning safe for my pets and family?
Absolutely. Our Robbins technicians follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines, use HEPA-filtered vacuums, and seal the work area to contain debris. We avoid harsh chemicals; instead, we rely on negative-pressure extraction and, when needed, plant-based sanitizers that are safe for children, pets, and people with respiratory sensitivities.
What should I do to prepare for my duct cleaning appointment?
Clear furniture and pet items away from supply and return vents so technicians can access them easily. Secure or crate pets to reduce their stress and prevent them from entering the work zone. Replace or wash HVAC filters, note any hot or cold spots for our team, and plan for 2–4 hours of service time, depending on home size.
