FAQs
What is rotating-brush duct cleaning and how does it work?
Rotating-brush cleaning is a mechanical method that uses motor-driven nylon or soft-steel brushes attached to flexible rods. The brush head spins inside each supply and return run, loosening dust, lint, pet hair, mold film, and other debris from the duct walls. At the same time a high-powered HEPA-filtered vacuum is attached to the trunk line, drawing the loosened contaminants out of the system so they are not released into your living space. Technicians usually verify the results with video or photo inspection before sealing everything back up.
How often should Clinton homeowners schedule duct cleaning?
Industry guidelines recommend a full cleaning every 3–5 years, but Clinton’s humid summers and chilly winters can encourage mold growth and excessive furnace use, so many local clients find every 2–3 years keeps their system healthier. You should also schedule a cleaning sooner if you have just completed a remodeling project, have multiple pets, notice excessive dust, or suffer from allergies or asthma.
Will rotating-brush cleaning damage my ductwork or HVAC equipment?
When performed by trained professionals, the process is safe for sheet-metal, lined, and flexible ductwork. We use different brush heads and adjustable speeds to match each material, and we never force the equipment around tight bends. Before cleaning begins, our technicians inspect for loose connections, fragile insulation, or existing damage so we can protect or repair those sections first.
What signs tell me my air ducts need to be cleaned?
• Dust puffs or debris blowing from registers when the system starts • Persistent musty or burnt odors coming from the vents • Visible mold growth inside supply boots or on the blower assembly • A recent construction project that created drywall or saw dust • Unexplained increases in energy bills or weak airflow in certain rooms • Family members experiencing more allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors
How long does the service take and what should I expect on the day of cleaning?
A typical single-family home in Clinton takes about 2–4 hours; larger homes or light-commercial buildings may require most of the day. We ask that you clear furniture away from vents and keep pets secured. Our crew will lay down protective drop cloths, cut temporary access holes in the main duct trunks, connect the vacuum, brush each run, and then seal and patch the access points. Your HVAC system can usually be run immediately after we finish.
What benefits will I notice after my ducts are cleaned?
Customers commonly report cleaner indoor air, less visible dust on furniture, and relief from allergy triggers such as pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. Removing debris from the duct walls and blower section can improve airflow and reduce HVAC run-time, saving up to 20% on heating and cooling costs. A clean system also experiences less mechanical wear, helping your furnace and air conditioner last longer while operating more quietly.
