FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in Rockwood?
Rockwood’s four-season climate means your HVAC system runs almost year-round, pulling outside air, dust, pollen, and construction debris into the ductwork. Over time these contaminants settle on duct walls and are recirculated through your living space, reducing system efficiency and degrading indoor air quality. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your furnace and air conditioner operate at peak efficiency, lowering energy costs, and reducing allergens that can trigger asthma or allergy symptoms.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning for homes in Rockwood?
As a general guideline, most Rockwood homeowners benefit from a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service if you have pets that shed, household members with respiratory issues, recent renovations, or notice excessive dust. Newly built or renovated homes should have ducts cleaned once construction is complete to remove drywall dust and wood particles before the system is put into full-time operation.
Will duct cleaning lower my heating and cooling bills?
Yes. A layer of dust as thin as 0.04 inch on duct walls or blower components can reduce HVAC efficiency by up to 20 %. By removing buildup, air can move more freely through the supply and return trunks, allowing your furnace and air conditioner to reach set temperatures faster and cycle off sooner. Most customers see measurable savings—often 5–15 %—on their monthly energy bills after a professional cleaning, alongside improved comfort and airflow.
What signs indicate that my ductwork needs professional cleaning?
Watch for persistent dust on furniture soon after cleaning, musty or burning smells when the system starts, uneven temperatures from room to room, visible dust puffs from supply registers, a recent pest infestation, or a sudden increase in allergy or asthma symptoms. If you remove a register cover and see matted dust, pet hair, or mold inside, it’s time to schedule a duct cleaning.
How does Peak Efficiency Heating & Air Conditioning perform duct cleaning, and is it safe for my HVAC system?
We use a negative-pressure HEPA vacuum connected to the main trunk line to pull contaminants out while rotary brushes and compressed-air whips loosen debris from branch lines. All registers are sealed during the process to maintain suction. Because we only use soft-bristle tools approved by major HVAC manufacturers, there’s no risk of scratching flexible or metal ductwork. Once cleaning is complete, we sanitize the system with an EPA-registered, low-VOC antimicrobial fog that eliminates mold spores and odors without leaving residue.
How long does a typical duct cleaning service take, and do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
Most single-family homes in Rockwood take 2–4 hours to clean, depending on square footage, number of vents, and whether the system has multiple furnaces or AC units. To help the visit go smoothly, please clear furniture away from supply and return vents, make sure pets are secured, and provide access to the thermostat, mechanical room, and all registers. Our technicians handle the rest, including post-service cleanup and a final system performance check.
