FAQs
What makes truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning different from portable equipment?
A truck-mounted vacuum generates 10–15 times more suction (up to 16,000 CFM) than portable machines. The powerful negative pressure pulls dust, insulation fibers, pet dander, and other contaminants out of every branch line all the way to the main trunk. Because the collection chamber stays outside in the truck, debris never re-enters your living space, and technicians need to bring in only lightweight air whips and brushes, reducing mess and setup time inside your Spring City home.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Spring City?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full system cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, in Spring City’s mixed humid-continental climate—where pollen counts rise in spring and furnaces run hard in winter—you may benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years if you have pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or asthma.
What steps are involved in your truck-mounted duct cleaning process?
1. Inspection: We start with a camera inspection to document conditions and identify trouble spots. 2. System preparation: Supply and return registers are sealed, and an 8-inch hose from our truck is connected to the main trunk line. 3. Negative pressure: The truck-mounted unit is engaged to create continuous negative pressure throughout the ductwork. 4. Agitation: Technicians insert rotating nylon brushes, air whips, and skipper balls to dislodge debris while the vacuum removes loosened particles. 5. Component cleaning: The blower, coils, drain pan, and plenum are hand-cleaned. 6. Sanitizing (optional): We can fog an EPA-registered botanical sanitizer to inhibit microbial growth. 7. Final inspection & report: We show before-and-after photos so you can see the results.
Will duct cleaning improve my HVAC system’s efficiency?
Yes. Accumulated dust and debris restrict airflow, forcing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder to maintain set temperatures. A clean system can improve airflow by up to 40 %, helping your equipment cycle less frequently, reduce energy consumption, and potentially extend its life span by several years. Many Spring City homeowners notice lower utility bills and more even room temperatures after a professional cleaning.
Is the cleaning process safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely. Our agitation tools are designed for sheet-metal, flex, and fiberglass-lined ducts and won’t damage internal surfaces. All access holes are resealed to NADCA standards. If you opt for sanitizer, we use a plant-based, low-VOC product that is registered with the EPA for use in occupied spaces; you and your pets can re-enter the treated areas within 30 minutes of application.
How long does a typical truck-mounted duct cleaning take and what should I do to prepare?
Most single-zone homes in Spring City require 2–4 hours, while larger or multi-system residences may take up to 6 hours. To prepare, please: • Clear a path to every register and the HVAC unit. • Secure pets in a separate room. • Make sure driveway space is available for our truck (we need to park within 50 feet of the furnace room). Our crew handles the rest, from floor protection to post-job cleanup.
