FAQs
Why should I use an EPA-approved sanitizer during duct cleaning?
EPA approval means the product has been tested and proven to eliminate specified bacteria, viruses, and mold without leaving harmful residues. Using an EPA-approved sanitizer in your HVAC ducts ensures contaminants are neutralized effectively so the air circulating through your home is cleaner, healthier, and compliant with federal safety standards.
How is the sanitizer applied to my HVAC ductwork?
After a full mechanical cleaning—where debris, dust, and lint are removed—our technicians fog the EPA-approved sanitizer through the supply and return trunks with a specialized atomizer. The fine mist coats the interior surfaces of the ducts, registers, and plenum, reaching areas manual tools cannot. The system’s blower is then run briefly to distribute the sanitizer evenly before drying.
Is the EPA-approved sanitizer safe for my family, pets, and HVAC components?
Yes. The sanitizer we use carries an EPA registration for residential HVAC applications and has low toxicity ratings. It is non-corrosive to metal ductwork, safe on fiberglass duct liners, and leaves no lingering VOCs. After a brief drying period—typically 30–60 minutes—you can re-occupy the space with no special precautions needed for children, pets, or allergy sufferers.
How long does the entire duct cleaning and sanitation process take, and when can I turn my system back on?
A typical single-family home requires 2–4 hours for complete duct cleaning and an additional 30 minutes for sanitizer application. The sanitizer dries quickly; most clients can turn their HVAC system back on within one hour of completion. Our crew will give you a precise timeline based on square footage and the complexity of your duct system.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned and sanitized?
For most homes, we recommend professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if you have smokers, pets that shed, recent renovations, or residents with respiratory issues, yearly inspections and sanitation every 1–2 years may be beneficial. Regular filter changes and routine HVAC maintenance will also extend the interval between deep cleanings.
Will duct cleaning and sanitation improve indoor air quality and reduce energy bills?
Absolutely. Removing dust, pollen, and microbial growth reduces airborne irritants, helping alleviate allergies and asthma symptoms. A clean, sanitized duct system allows air to flow freely, enabling your HVAC unit to reach set temperatures faster and cycle less frequently. Studies show that clean ducts can improve system efficiency by up to 20%, which translates to noticeable energy savings.
