FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned?
Over time dust, pollen, pet dander, construction debris, and even mold spores can accumulate in your ductwork. Every time the HVAC system cycles on, some of those contaminants are circulated back into the living space and breathed in by your family. Professional cleaning removes this buildup, helping to reduce allergy and asthma triggers, eliminate musty odors, and lessen the amount of dust settling on your furniture. Clean ducts also allow conditioned air to move freely, so your system doesn’t have to work as hard to reach the thermostat set-point.
How often should ductwork be professionally cleaned in Spring City?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. However, you may want service sooner if you have pets that shed, have recently completed remodeling projects, notice visible mold growth, or live near busy roads or farmland where outdoor dust and pollutants are higher. After an initial inspection, our technicians will give you a custom maintenance schedule based on your household’s air-quality needs.
What does Unrestricted Airflow’s duct cleaning process involve?
1) We start with a camera inspection to document the condition of the supply and return runs, plenums, and registers. 2) Technicians cover flooring and furniture, then place the system under negative pressure with a high-powered vacuum mounted in our service truck. 3) While the vacuum pulls debris toward the collection unit, we agitate the interior walls of the ducts with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge stubborn buildup. 4) Registers, grilles, and the blower compartment are removed and cleaned separately; a safe, EPA-approved sanitizer can be applied upon request. 5) Finally, we reinspect the ductwork on camera, reinstall components, and leave you with before/after images for your records.
Will duct cleaning improve my HVAC system’s efficiency or indoor air quality?
Yes. When the duct walls are coated with debris, airflow becomes restricted and the blower motor must run longer to deliver the same amount of conditioned air. After a thorough cleaning, most customers notice stronger airflow at the registers and may see energy savings of 5–15%. Indoor air quality also improves because the primary source of recirculated contaminants has been removed. While duct cleaning is not a cure-all, it is an important part of a whole-home IAQ strategy that can include proper filtration, humidity control, and regular equipment maintenance.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and do I need to leave my home?
A standard single-zone home of 2,000–2,500 sq ft in Spring City usually takes 3–4 hours to complete. Larger homes, multiple HVAC systems, or heavily soiled ducts can extend the job to a full day. You are welcome to stay in the house; our equipment is loud but safe, and we keep walkways clear so you can move about freely. If anyone in the household is highly sensitive to dust or noise, you may prefer to schedule the service while they are away.
What is the cost of duct cleaning and are there any additional fees?
Pricing is based on the number of heat runs, cold air returns, and HVAC systems in the home. Most Spring City residences fall between $450 and $750, which includes camera inspection, truck-mounted vacuum extraction, brushing/agitation, register cleaning, and a post-cleaning IAQ report. Optional add-ons such as antimicrobial treatment, dryer-vent cleaning, or upgraded media filters are quoted in advance—no surprise charges. We offer seasonal coupons and 10% discounts for seniors, veterans, and HVAC maintenance-agreement customers.
