FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned with HEPA-filtered vacuums?
HEPA-filtered vacuums capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns—about 300 times thinner than a human hair. When we attach these vacuums to your ductwork, they prevent loosened dust, pollen, dander, mold spores, and construction debris from escaping back into your home. This results in a more thorough cleaning, healthier indoor air, and less post-service dusting compared with standard shop-vac or negative-air machines that lack HEPA filtration.
How often should Jefferson City homeowners schedule professional duct cleaning?
For most homes the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need service sooner—every 2–3 years—if you have pets that shed, residents with allergies or asthma, recent remodeling, or notice visible dust buildup around vents. Newly built homes in Jefferson City often benefit from a one-time cleaning within the first year to remove drywall and sawdust left in the duct system.
What is included in your HEPA vacuum duct-cleaning process?
1) Pre-inspection: We use video scopes to check supply and return trunks, looking for buildup and obstructions. 2) System isolation: Registers are sealed so debris can only travel toward the vacuum. 3) Negative pressure: A truck-mounted HEPA vacuum (5,000 CFM) is connected to the main trunk lines. 4) Agitation: High-pressure air whips and soft-bristle brushes dislodge contaminants without damaging metal or flex ducts. 5) Source removal: Debris is pulled through multi-stage HEPA filters so nothing re-enters your living space. 6) Sanitizing (optional): An EPA-registered antimicrobial fog can be applied for odor control. 7) Final report: We show before-and-after photos and restore HVAC service.
Will duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency?
Yes. Removing dust, lint, and biological contaminants from the ductwork eliminates a common source of recirculated irritants, which can reduce allergy and asthma symptoms. Clean ducts also allow your blower motor to move air with less resistance, which can lower energy consumption by 5–15 % and extend the life of your furnace and air-conditioning components. While results vary, many Jefferson City customers report less dust on furniture and more consistent temperatures between rooms after service.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take, and do I need to leave the home?
Most single-family homes in the Jefferson City area take 2–4 hours, depending on size, number of HVAC systems, and how accessible the ductwork is. You can stay in the home; our equipment is sealed and quiet enough for normal conversation. We only ask that you keep children and pets away from work areas and that thermostats remain off during the cleaning.
Are your HEPA-filtered vacuums safe for homes with allergies, pets, or historic properties?
Absolutely. HEPA filtration prevents allergen blow-back, which is crucial for sensitive individuals and households with shedding pets. Our soft-brush agitation tools protect fragile plaster, insulated flex ducts, and older sheet-metal joints commonly found in historic Jefferson City properties. We also offer plant-based, fragrance-free sanitizers for customers who prefer hypoallergenic products.
