FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Rockwood?
Rockwood’s seasonal humidity and temperature swings can cause dust, pollen, mold spores, and construction debris to collect inside your HVAC ductwork. Over time these contaminants circulate through your home, aggravating allergies, reducing system efficiency, and creating musty odors. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your family breathe cleaner air, lowering the risk of respiratory issues, and allowing your heating and cooling equipment to run more smoothly.
How often should my home's ductwork be cleaned?
For most Rockwood homeowners, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, recently completed renovations, notice visible mold, or family members suffer from allergies or asthma. Conversely, newer homes with good filtration and no indoor air‐quality concerns may be able to wait the full five years.
What are the signs that my HVAC ducts need professional cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust blowing from supply registers, persistent allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors, unexplained spikes in energy bills, musty or burning smells when the system runs, uneven airflow between rooms, and rattling duct noises caused by debris buildup. If you remove a vent cover and see matted dust or debris lining the duct walls, it’s a clear sign that a thorough cleaning is overdue.
How long does a typical duct‐cleaning service take?
An average single‐family home in Rockwood takes 2–4 hours, depending on the duct layout, contamination level, and system size. Larger homes or those with multiple HVAC units can take 5–8 hours. Our crews do a walk‐through first, protect floors and furnishings, and keep you updated on the timeline so there are no surprises.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Removing dust, pet dander, and microbial growth means less particulate matter circulating through your living space, leading to fresher, healthier air. Clean ducts also reduce airflow resistance, allowing your blower motor to work less and maintain set temperatures more easily. Many customers report decreased allergy symptoms, fewer dusting chores, and modest energy savings after professional cleaning.
