FAQs
What is truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning and how does it work?
Truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning uses a powerful high-CFM vacuum system permanently housed in our service truck. Large flexible hoses are connected from the truck to your home’s supply and return trunks, creating negative pressure throughout the duct network. While the vacuum pulls dust and debris outside to a containment tank, our technicians agitate the interior of each branch run with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips, dislodging built-up contaminants so they are safely removed rather than released back into your living space.
Why is duct cleaning important for homes and businesses in Tullahoma?
Tullahoma’s mix of humid summers and pollen-rich springs encourages mold, mildew, and allergen accumulation inside air ducts. Dirty ducts force HVAC systems to work harder, raising utility bills and shortening equipment life. Professional cleaning removes dust, pet dander, pollen, and microbial growth, promoting better indoor air quality, reducing allergy symptoms, and improving overall HVAC efficiency—particularly valuable during Tennessee’s temperature swings.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
For most Tullahoma homes, we recommend a full truck-mounted duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed a renovation, have multiple pets, experience excessive dust, or notice musty odors or visible mold. Commercial buildings, daycare centers, and medical facilities may benefit from annual or biennial cleanings due to heavier usage and stricter air-quality requirements.
How long does a typical truck-mounted duct cleaning appointment take?
A standard single-family residence (2,000–3,000 sq. ft.) in Tullahoma usually requires 2–4 hours. Larger homes, multi-system properties, or heavily contaminated ductwork can take 4–6 hours or more. We begin with a walk-through and inspection, set up protective floor coverings, run vacuum hoses, clean each supply and return, sanitize if requested, and finish with a post-service report so you know exactly what was done.
Will duct cleaning damage my HVAC system or make a mess in my house?
No. Our NADCA-certified technicians follow industry best practices. We use protective booties, drop cloths, and corner guards to safeguard your home. All debris is pulled directly outside into the sealed truck-mounted vacuum, preventing re-circulation. Access panels are installed according to HVAC code and sealed airtight after cleaning, leaving your ductwork in better condition than we found it.
How much does truck-mounted duct cleaning cost in the Tullahoma area, and what factors affect pricing?
Pricing typically ranges from $450–$650 for an average-size home, including unlimited supply and return ducts, main trunks, and a complimentary system inspection. Costs vary based on square footage, number of HVAC systems, accessibility of ductwork, and optional add-ons such as antimicrobial fogging, dryer-vent cleaning, or coil cleaning. Exact quotes are provided upfront after an on-site or virtual assessment, and there are no hidden fees.
