FAQs
Why should I have my ducts professionally cleaned in Sale Creek?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants build up inside your ductwork. In a humid climate like Sale Creek’s, that debris can also harbor mold spores. Professional duct cleaning removes these pollutants, helping improve indoor air quality, lowering allergy and asthma triggers, preventing musty odors, and allowing your HVAC system to operate more efficiently.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning for homes in Sale Creek?
Most HVAC professionals suggest cleaning air ducts every 3–5 years. However, if you have pets that shed, occupants with respiratory issues, recent renovations, visible mold growth, or notice excessive dust or odors, you may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years. A free in-home inspection from our technicians can pinpoint the ideal schedule for your specific situation.
What does the duct-cleaning process involve?
Our NADCA-certified team starts with a camera inspection to assess buildup and check for leaks. We then protect floors and furnishings, place the system under negative pressure with a high-powered vacuum, and use rotary brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. All contaminants are captured in a sealed HEPA-filtered truck-mounted unit. Finally, we sanitize the ductwork with an EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment, reinstall clean vent covers, and provide before-and-after images for your peace of mind.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills?
Yes. When dust and debris restrict airflow, your furnace or air conditioner must work harder to maintain the set temperature. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, clean HVAC systems can run up to 20 % more efficiently. In Sale Creek’s hot summers and chilly winters, that boost in efficiency can translate into noticeable savings on monthly utility costs.
How can I tell if my ducts need cleaning?
Common signs include visible dust blowing from supply vents, black streaks around registers, stale or musty odors when the HVAC system runs, unexplained allergy symptoms, higher-than-normal energy bills, or rattling noises that indicate debris in the ductwork. If you remove a vent cover and see matted dust or mold inside, it’s time to schedule service.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC equipment and my family?
Absolutely. We use industry-approved tools, negative-pressure vacuums with HEPA filtration, and eco-friendly sanitizers that are safe for children, pets, and sensitive individuals. Properly performed duct cleaning will not damage your HVAC components; in fact, it helps extend system lifespan by reducing strain on motors, blowers, and coils. We carry full liability insurance and provide a satisfaction guarantee to ensure complete peace of mind.
