FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my Rockwood home?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and construction debris collect inside your ductwork. Each time the furnace or air-conditioner cycles on, these contaminants are pushed back into your living spaces and can aggravate allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems. In Rockwood’s damp climate, a dirty duct system can also harbor mold, which further degrades indoor air quality. Routine professional cleaning removes these pollutants, helping your family breathe easier and protecting the long-term health of your HVAC equipment.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, Rockwood homeowners may benefit from more frequent service if you have pets that shed, a household member with allergies, recent remodeling work, or if you notice visible dust buildup around registers. Our technicians can inspect your system and provide a personalized schedule based on your indoor air quality goals and lifestyle.
What signs indicate that my ducts need cleaning?
Common warning signs include: visible dust puffs or dark streaks around supply registers; musty or ‘dirty sock’ odors when the HVAC system starts; unexplained allergy flare-ups; inconsistent airflow room-to-room; rattling debris noises inside the ductwork; and a recent spike in energy bills due to restricted airflow. If you notice any of these issues in your Rockwood home, scheduling an inspection is the safest way to determine whether a full cleaning is necessary.
What is included in Crisp, Fresh Air Heating & Air Conditioning’s duct cleaning service?
Our NADCA-certified team follows a strict source-removal process. We begin with camera inspections to document the current condition of your ducts. Next, we place the system under high-powered negative pressure using a HEPA-filtered vacuum truck. While the vacuum draws contaminants toward the main trunk line, we agitate interior surfaces with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. We sanitize metal ductwork with EPA-registered disinfectants (safe for kids and pets) and replace the furnace filter with a new MERV-rated filter. Finally, we provide before-and-after photos so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. By removing dust, microbial growth, and other obstructions, air can move more freely through the system. This can lower static pressure, allowing your furnace and air conditioner to heat or cool more quickly and operate at lower fan speeds, which may reduce energy consumption. Cleaner ducts also diminish the recirculation of allergens, resulting in fresher, healthier indoor air. Many Rockwood customers report relief from sinus irritation and notice less dust settling on furniture after a cleaning.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
Most single-family homes in Rockwood require 3–5 hours, depending on the number of registers, the complexity of the duct network, and the level of contamination. Before we arrive, please clear access to all vents, the furnace or air handler, and any crawl-space or attic openings. Removing fragile items from shelves near supply registers prevents accidental damage. You do not need to leave the home—our equipment is sealed and vented outdoors to keep indoor spaces clean and quiet. After the service, you can run your HVAC system immediately.
