FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned in my Church Hill home?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants build up inside your ductwork. Each time your HVAC system cycles on, these particles are circulated throughout your living spaces, potentially aggravating allergies and respiratory conditions. Professional duct cleaning removes this debris, improving indoor air quality, helping your heating and cooling system run more efficiently, and extending the life of your equipment.
How often do experts recommend scheduling duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests having residential air ducts cleaned every 3–5 years under normal conditions. However, Church Hill homeowners may need more frequent service if they have pets that shed, residents with asthma or severe allergies, recent remodeling projects, or water/mold damage. We’re happy to inspect your system and recommend an interval tailored to your household.
What is included in your duct-cleaning process?
Our certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to assess the condition of your ductwork. We then protect walls, floors, and furnishings before attaching a high-powered negative-air vacuum to your main trunk line. Using rotary brushes and compressed-air whips, we dislodge and extract debris from every branch line, register, plenum, and trunk. Finally, we apply an EPA-approved antimicrobial fog upon request to help inhibit future microbial growth. A post-cleaning camera inspection verifies the results.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take?
For an average single-family home in Church Hill, the job usually requires 2–4 hours, depending on the size of the HVAC system, the number of registers, and the level of contamination. Larger homes or systems with significant buildup can take longer. We’ll provide an estimated time frame when we confirm your appointment, and our crew will keep you informed throughout the process.
Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills?
Yes. A buildup of dust and debris restricts airflow, forcing your blower motor to work harder and your HVAC system to run longer cycles. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25–40 % of the energy used for heating and cooling is wasted, and dirty ducts are a major contributor. By restoring clear airflow, duct cleaning can improve system efficiency, helping to lower monthly utility costs and reduce wear on components.
Is duct cleaning messy, and do I need to leave my house during the service?
Our equipment is designed to keep your home clean while we clean your ducts. The negative-air vacuum creates a closed system, so dust and debris are pulled directly into a sealed collection unit rather than released into your living spaces. We also cover vents, lay down protective drop cloths, and wear shoe covers. You’re welcome to stay home during the service, though some customers prefer to run errands to avoid the noise of the vacuum equipment.
