FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Blountville?
For most Blountville homeowners the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Because our area’s warm, humid summers can promote mold growth, you may need service more frequently if you have allergy sufferers, indoor pets, smokers, recent remodeling work, or notice visible dust around vents.
What warning signs tell me my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include: excessive dust on furniture or around supply registers, musty or burnt odors when the HVAC system runs, unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups, visible mold inside ductwork or on vent covers, insect or rodent droppings, and noticeably reduced airflow from certain rooms. If you spot any of these, a professional inspection is recommended.
What does your professional duct cleaning process involve?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to assess buildup and locate problem areas. We then isolate each trunk line, place the system under negative pressure with a high-powered HEPA vacuum, and agitate debris with rotating brushes and compressed-air whip tools. Return and supply plenums, registers, the blower compartment, and evaporator coil cabinet are cleaned, and sanitizing agents can be applied when microbial growth is detected. A final post-cleaning video lets you verify the results.
Will duct cleaning really improve HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality?
Yes. Removing dust, pet dander, and microbial growth allows conditioned air to flow freely, enabling your furnace and air conditioner to reach set temperatures faster and with less energy. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates a buildup of just 0.042 inches of dirt on a cooling coil can cut efficiency by 21%. Cleaner ducts also reduce circulating allergens and odors, making the air healthier for your family.
How long does a typical duct cleaning take, and do I have to leave my home?
Most single-family homes in Blountville take 2–4 hours, depending on square footage, number of registers, and how dirty the system is. You don’t need to leave; our equipment is sealed and vented outdoors, and we protect flooring and furnishings with drop cloths and corner guards. You can stay comfortable while we work.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system, and what credentials do your technicians hold?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA ACR standards and use soft-bristle brush heads, flexible whips, and 5000+ CFM HEPA vacuums designed specifically for ductwork. Components like coils and blower wheels are cleaned according to manufacturer specifications, preserving warranties. Our team is NADCA-certified, EPA-licensed for antimicrobial applications, and fully insured for your peace of mind.
