FAQs
Why is air-duct cleaning important for my South Pittsburg home?
South Pittsburg’s warm, humid summers and pollen-heavy spring and fall seasons cause dust, mold spores, pet dander, and other allergens to accumulate inside supply and return ducts. When your heating or air-conditioning runs, these contaminants are blown back into living spaces, aggravating allergies, causing musty odors, and forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, restoring healthy airflow, protecting equipment, and helping you breathe cleaner air year-round.
How does the rotating-brush method differ from traditional duct cleaning?
Conventional duct cleaning often relies on high-pressure air alone ("blow-and-go"), which can leave stubborn debris stuck to the metal. Our system inserts flexible, motor-driven brushes that rotate 450–500 RPM while a powerful HEPA-filtered vacuum captures loosened particles. The bristles scrub the inner walls, dislodging caked dust, lint, and light surface rust without damaging the duct. This mechanical agitation delivers a deeper, more even clean—especially valuable in older homes common around South Pittsburg where ducts may have decades of buildup.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years under normal conditions. You may need service sooner—every 2–3 years—if you have pets that shed, recent renovations, smokers in the home, or residents with asthma/allergies. After major flooding or fire damage, ducts should be cleaned immediately. We offer free video inspections so homeowners in South Pittsburg can see the real condition of their ductwork and decide on the right interval.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and lower my energy bills?
Yes. Removing dust, biofilm, and microbial growth reduces the amount of particulate matter circulated through your home, leading to fewer allergy flare-ups and a fresher smell. Clean ducts also allow air to move with less resistance, so your blower motor doesn’t have to run as long to reach set temperatures. Studies show energy savings of 5-15 % after a thorough cleaning combined with a new filter. While results vary by system age and insulation levels, most South Pittsburg customers notice better airflow and modest drops in utility costs.
Is the rotating-brush cleaning process safe for my ductwork and HVAC equipment?
Absolutely. Our technicians select brush heads sized to your duct diameter and material—galvanized steel, aluminum, or flex-duct—so bristles contact only the debris layer, not the substrate. We isolate the furnace or air handler, seal all registers, and maintain negative pressure to prevent dust from escaping into living areas. The equipment is NADCA-certified, and we provide a post-cleaning video so you can verify the results. No harsh chemicals are used; only mechanical agitation and optional EPA-approved sanitizer upon request.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take and what should I expect?
Most single-family homes in South Pittsburg require 2–4 hours. Larger homes or those with multiple HVAC zones can take 5–6 hours. Our crew will: 1) lay down protective floor coverings, 2) inspect ducts with a camera, 3) cut small access panels if needed, 4) attach a high-capacity vacuum to create negative pressure, 5) run rotating brushes through each supply and return line, 6) clean the blower, coil, and drain pan, 7) reseal access points, and 8) show you before-and-after images. You can stay in the home during the process, and your system will be ready to run as soon as we finish.
