FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for homes with pets in Crossville?
Crossville’s humid climate lets pet dander cling to dust and moisture inside your ductwork. When the heating or air-conditioning runs, that dander is blown back into living spaces, aggravating allergies and coating surfaces with fine hair and skin flakes. Professional duct cleaning removes this debris, improves indoor air quality, helps your HVAC system run more efficiently, and extends the life of your furnace and AC components.
How often should I schedule duct cleaning if I have multiple pets?
For households with two or more shedding pets, we recommend duct cleaning every 2–3 years instead of the standard 3–5. Heavy shedders, long-haired breeds, or pets that spend a lot of time outdoors may make annual cleanings worthwhile. Regular filter changes (every 30–60 days) and routine grooming can help you stretch the interval.
What signs indicate that pet dander is affecting my HVAC system?
Common warning signs include: visible dust or hair at supply registers, a musty or “wet dog” smell when the system starts, more frequent filter clogging, increased allergy or asthma symptoms, uneven airflow from vents, and unusual rattling caused by accumulated debris. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule an inspection.
Will duct cleaning reduce pet odors and allergies?
Yes. Removing dander, hair, and trapped organic matter eliminates the primary source of pet-related odors inside the ductwork and reduces circulating allergens. Customers often report fresher-smelling rooms, less visible dust, and a noticeable decline in sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes after a full cleaning and filter change.
What methods and equipment do you use for pet dander duct cleaning?
Our technicians use a negative-pressure vacuum system that pulls up to 5,000 CFM, combined with rotating soft-bristle brushes, air whips, and HEPA-filtered containment units. We protect registers and furniture, inspect with video cameras, and finish with an optional EPA-approved antimicrobial fog to inhibit future dander and mold growth—safe for both pets and humans.
Is duct cleaning safe for my pets, and how should I prepare?
Absolutely. All tools stay inside the ducts, and our vacuums are HEPA-sealed to prevent debris from escaping. We use pet-safe, low-VOC cleaning agents. To prepare, secure pets in a separate room to keep them calm, remove items blocking vents, and let us know about any special needs. Most jobs in Crossville homes take 2–4 hours, so your pets can return to their usual areas the same day.
