FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my HVAC system’s efficiency in Greenback’s climate?
Dust, pollen, and humidity common to Greenback accumulate inside supply and return ducts, forcing your heating and air-conditioning equipment to work harder to push air. Removing this buildup reduces static pressure, allows the blower motor to run at its designed RPM, and can improve system efficiency by 10–25 %. Cleaner ducts also minimize wear on components, helping your furnace and air-conditioner last longer while lowering monthly utility bills.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes. In Greenback, we suggest the shorter end of that range—every 3 years—if you have pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or asthma. Newly built or remodeled homes often need an immediate cleaning to remove construction debris.
What signs tell me my home may need duct cleaning now?
• Visible dust coming from supply vents when the system starts • Musty or burnt odors that persist even after changing filters • Uneven airflow or rooms that are harder to heat or cool • Excessive dust settling on furniture within a day or two of cleaning • Unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups • A recent rodent or insect issue in the ductwork
What does Peak Efficiency’s duct cleaning process involve?
1. Inspection: We video-scope the entire duct network to document buildup and check for damage. 2. Containment: High-powered HEPA vacuum is attached to create negative pressure so contaminants never re-enter living spaces. 3. Agitation: Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips loosen debris from metal or flex duct walls. 4. Extraction: Debris is pulled into a sealed HEPA filtration unit located outside the home. 5. Sanitizing: Upon request, we apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog that neutralizes mold, bacteria, and odors. 6. Final Report: Before-and-after images and airflow readings verify a successful clean.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and reduce allergens?
Yes. Independent studies show that up to 40 lb of dust can accumulate annually in a 1,500 sq ft home’s ductwork. These particles contain pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust-mite waste—all common triggers for allergies and asthma. Our HEPA-filtered extraction removes more than 97 % of particulate matter from the ducts, which typically results in noticeably cleaner indoor air, fewer allergy symptoms, and less dust on household surfaces.
How long does a typical duct cleaning take and will it disrupt my day?
A standard single-zone system in a 2,000 sq ft Greenback home takes about 3–4 hours from setup to final walkthrough. Larger or multi-system homes may take 5–6 hours. We protect floors, wear shoe covers, and keep doors closed as much as possible to maintain indoor comfort. Your HVAC system will be off for only short intervals, so there is minimal disruption to heating or cooling during the service.
