FAQs
Why is regular air-duct cleaning important for homes in Thorn Hill?
Thorn Hill’s four-season climate means your HVAC system runs nearly year-round. Dust, pet dander, construction debris, and even pollen from the nearby Don River valley can accumulate inside supply and return ducts. When the furnace or A/C cycles on, those contaminants are blown back into your living space, aggravating allergies, reducing system efficiency, and creating musty odours. A professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping your equipment breathe easier, extending component life, and giving you cleaner, fresher indoor air.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning for my HVAC system?
Most Thorn Hill homeowners benefit from a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have recently completed a renovation, own shedding pets, use a wood-burning fireplace, notice excessive dust, or have allergy or asthma sufferers in the household. New homeowners should also clean ducts when moving in to eliminate the previous occupants’ dust, debris, and odours.
What signs indicate my air ducts may need cleaning?
Common red flags include: • Dust buildup on supply registers moments after cleaning them • Visible puffs of dust when the HVAC starts • Musty or stale odours that return quickly after airing out the house • Uneven airflow or rooms that never reach the set temperature • An unexplained spike in energy bills • Increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors. If you notice any of these, a duct inspection is recommended.
What does your Thorn Hill duct cleaning service include and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified team arrives in a clearly marked service truck equipped with a high-powered negative-air vacuum and HEPA filtration. After protecting floors and vents, we: 1. Inspect the entire duct network with video scopes. 2. Seal off each register and place the system under negative pressure. 3. Agitate debris with rotary brushes and compressed-air whips. 4. Extract contaminants directly into the truck-mounted vacuum. 5. Sanitize the plenum and apply an eco-friendly antimicrobial treatment on request. 6. Reassemble registers, test system operation, and provide before-and-after footage. A typical 2,000 sq ft home takes 2–3 hours; larger homes or heavily contaminated systems may take longer.
Will duct cleaning really improve my indoor air quality and lower energy bills?
Yes. By removing layers of dust and debris, air can flow more freely through the ductwork, allowing your furnace blower and A/C fan to operate at their intended efficiency. Studies show clean ducts can improve airflow by up to 30 %, helping the system reach the thermostat setting faster and use less electricity or gas. At the same time, eliminating airborne particulates and microbial growth significantly reduces the amount of allergens circulated, leading to noticeably fresher air and fewer dusting chores.
Is duct cleaning messy and do I need to prepare my home beforehand?
When performed professionally, duct cleaning is virtually mess-free. We lay down drop cloths, wear boot covers, and use sealed vacuum hoses that prevent debris from escaping. You only need to ensure all vents are accessible: move furniture a few feet away from registers and clear a path to the furnace area. For safety, please keep children and pets away from work zones until the job is finished. We’ll handle the rest and leave your home exactly as we found it—just cleaner.
