FAQs
What are EPA-approved sanitizers and why should I choose them for duct cleaning?
EPA-approved sanitizers are antimicrobial solutions that have been tested and registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ensure they kill or inhibit bacteria, viruses, and mold spores without leaving harmful residues. Using them during duct cleaning in Sharps Chapel guarantees that any biological contaminants inside your HVAC system are treated with products proven both effective and safe for indoor environments.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned and sanitized in Sharps Chapel?
For most homes, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. If you have pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, recent renovations, or high pollen counts (common in East Tennessee), you might benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years. Sanitizing with EPA-approved products is typically performed after each full cleaning or any time there is evidence of microbial growth or a musty odor.
What does your duct cleaning and sanitizing process involve, and how long does it take?
1. Inspection: We use video scopes to assess debris and microbial buildup. 2. Negative-air cleaning: A powerful HEPA vacuum creates negative pressure while rotating brushes dislodge dust. 3. Source removal: Registers, grilles, and main trunk lines are thoroughly cleaned. 4. EPA-approved sanitizing: A fine-mist fogger evenly disperses sanitizer through the entire duct system, targeting bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. 5. Post-test: We re-inspect to verify cleanliness. A typical single-zone home in Sharps Chapel (1,500–2,500 sq ft) takes 3–5 hours start to finish; larger or multi-system homes may require a full day.
Will EPA-approved sanitization improve my indoor air quality and reduce allergens?
Yes. By removing accumulated dust, dander, pollen, and microbial colonies, mechanical cleaning immediately lowers airborne particulate levels. The EPA-approved sanitizer further neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and mold that contribute to odors and respiratory irritation. Customers commonly report less dust on furniture, reduced allergy or asthma symptoms, and better overall HVAC efficiency after service.
Are the sanitizers safe for my family, pets, and HVAC equipment?
Absolutely. The solutions we apply are designated by the EPA for use in HVAC systems and carry no health warnings when used at the recommended concentrations. They are non-corrosive to metal, safe on fiberglass duct board, and leave no lingering odor once the fog has dried (usually 30–60 minutes). You can re-enter treated areas immediately after the system is restarted.
How much does professional duct cleaning and sanitizing cost, and do you offer local discounts?
Pricing depends on square footage, the number of HVAC systems, and the level of contamination, but most Sharps Chapel homes fall between $375 and $650 for full cleaning plus EPA-approved sanitizing.
