FAQs
What is rotating brush duct cleaning and how does it work?
Rotating brush duct cleaning uses a motor-driven, soft-bristle brush attached to flexible rods that spin and scrub the interior walls of your HVAC ductwork. As the brush loosens dust, pet dander, mold spores, and other debris, a high-powered vacuum positioned at the supply or return pulls everything into a sealed collection unit. The combined mechanical agitation and suction remove more buildup than suction alone, improving airflow and indoor air quality.
Why is rotating brush cleaning better than traditional negative-air duct cleaning?
Negative-air (vacuum-only) cleaning relies solely on suction to pull loose debris out of the ducts. In many Corryton homes, years of sticky dust, construction drywall, or microbial growth cling to the duct walls and resist simple airflow. The rotating brush physically agitates and scrubs these layers so the vacuum can capture them. This dual action typically removes 25-40 % more particulate matter, leading to cleaner ducts, longer-lasting furnace filters, and reduced odors.
How often should Corryton homeowners schedule rotating brush duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends professional cleaning every 3-5 years for most residences. However, you may need service sooner—every 2-3 years—if you have smokers in the home, shedding pets, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or asthma. Because Corryton’s pollen season is lengthy, many clients find a 3-year interval ideal to keep allergen levels low.
Is rotating brush duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and ductwork?
Yes. Reputable contractors use soft nylon or poly brushes matched to your duct size and material (sheet metal, flex, or fiberboard). The brush speed is adjustable to prevent tearing flex ducts or disturbing insulation. Technicians also seal each register before starting to avoid blow-back into living spaces. When performed by NADCA-certified professionals, rotating brush cleaning poses no risk to HVAC components, wiring, or seals.
What benefits will I notice after a professional duct cleaning?
Customers typically report: (1) noticeably fresher indoor air and reduced musty or smoky odors; (2) lower dust accumulation on furniture and vents; (3) improved HVAC airflow, which can enhance comfort and reduce energy usage by 5-10 %; (4) longer filter life; and (5) fewer allergy or asthma flare-ups. Because Corryton’s humidity can encourage mold, removing debris also helps inhibit future microbial growth.
How much does rotating brush duct cleaning cost in Corryton, and how long does it take?
Pricing depends on home size, number of supply and return vents, and duct condition. In Corryton, a typical 2,000-sq-ft single-story home with one HVAC system ranges from $400 to $600, including sanitizer application if requested. Larger homes or multiple systems increase the price. Most cleanings take 2–4 hours, and technicians will provide before-and-after photos so you can see the results.
