FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Clinton’s climate?
Clinton experiences hot, humid summers and cold winters, which means your HVAC system runs nearly year-round. Dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and construction debris accumulate inside the ductwork over time. This buildup can restrict airflow, force your equipment to work harder, and circulate contaminants throughout your home. A professional duct cleaning removes these deposits, helping your system operate more efficiently, reducing wear on components, and delivering cleaner air to every room.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
Industry guidelines recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years for an average household. However, you may need it more frequently—every 2–3 years—if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling projects, or if you notice a musty odor when the HVAC runs. After an initial inspection, we provide a tailored maintenance schedule based on your home, lifestyle, and Clinton’s local environmental factors such as high pollen counts in spring.
What signs indicate my air ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include visible dust puffs from supply registers, dark streaks around vents, lingering odors, an unexplained increase in energy bills, or frequent filter changes. You might also notice more allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation indoors. If you have recently had water damage, rodent activity, or major construction inside the home, a duct inspection and cleaning is strongly advised.
What is included in your duct cleaning service, and how long does it take?
Our NADCA-certified technicians begin with a camera inspection to document the condition of your ductwork. We then seal registers, connect a high-powered negative-air vacuum to the trunk line, and use rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to dislodge debris from every branch. We also clean the supply and return plenums, registers, grilles, and the blower compartment if accessible. Finally, we sanitize with an EPA-approved solution upon request. A typical single-zone home in Clinton takes 3–5 hours, while larger homes or those with extensive buildup may require a full day.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. By removing accumulated dust, biological growth, and allergens, duct cleaning reduces the particulate load circulating in your living spaces, which can ease allergy and asthma symptoms. With cleaner ducts and unrestricted airflow, your HVAC system doesn’t have to overcome extra resistance, leading to lower energy consumption—often 5–10% savings on seasonal utility bills. Customers frequently report more even temperatures and less dust settling on furniture after service.
Is duct cleaning safe for my home and HVAC system, and do you follow industry standards?
Absolutely. We adhere to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards and use HEPA-filtered negative-pressure equipment that prevents debris from escaping into your home. All brushes and agitation tools are specifically designed for sheet-metal and flex ducts, so they will not damage the lining or insulation. We lay down protective coverings, wear booties, and perform a final walkthrough to ensure your home is as clean—or cleaner—than when we arrived.
