FAQs
Why is periodic air duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Seymour?
Over time, dust, pet dander, pollen, and even mold spores can accumulate inside your ductwork. In a climate like Seymour’s—where we alternate between humid summers and chilly winters—this buildup can restrict airflow, force your furnace or AC to work harder, and circulate allergens throughout your home. Professional duct cleaning removes those contaminants, helping your HVAC equipment run more efficiently, lowering energy costs, and improving the air you breathe.
How often should homeowners in Seymour schedule professional duct cleaning?
Most national standards recommend cleaning every 3–5 years, but local factors can shorten that interval. If you have pets that shed, family members with asthma or allergies, a recent renovation, or you burn wood for supplemental heat, consider cleaning every 2–3 years. After a major smoke event—such as a nearby wildfire or chimney puff-back—it’s wise to schedule an immediate inspection and cleaning.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning or sanitizing?
Common red flags include visible dust blowing from supply registers, dark lines on carpet around vents, musty or stale odors when the system starts, unexplained spikes in utility bills, or worsening allergy and respiratory symptoms inside the home. You might also notice rattling debris sounds in the ducts or see an accumulation of dust on the blower fan and coil during routine HVAC maintenance.
What is included in your duct cleaning service for heating and AC systems?
Our NADCA-certified team arrives with a high-powered negative-air vacuum truck and agitation tools. We: (1) Inspect the full duct system with a video scope, (2) Seal supply and return registers, (3) Place the ducts under a powerful vacuum, (4) Loosen debris with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips, (5) Remove and clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil surface, and return plenum, (6) Apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial mist if requested, and (7) Re-seal, reassemble, and test system performance. A before-and-after video is provided for your records.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills and improve indoor air quality?
Yes. A ½-inch layer of dust on a coil can reduce system efficiency by up to 20%. By clearing obstructions, your HVAC fan uses less electricity and your furnace or AC cycles run for shorter periods. Homeowners typically see a 5–15% drop in energy consumption. In terms of air quality, removing biological growth and allergens lowers airborne particle levels and can ease symptoms for allergy and asthma sufferers.
Is duct cleaning messy, and how long will the service take at my Seymour home?
Our sealed negative-pressure process keeps all debris inside the vacuum hoses, so there’s no dust released into your living space. Technicians wear boot covers, use drop cloths, and clean up after themselves. A typical single-zone home with 10–15 supply vents takes 3–4 hours; larger or multi-system homes may take 5–6 hours. You can remain in the house during the service, and the HVAC system is back online as soon as we finish.
