FAQs
Why is duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Jefferson City?
Central Missouri experiences four distinct seasons, which means your HVAC system works year-round and air ducts accumulate dust, pollen, mold spores, and even construction debris faster than in milder climates. Cleaning the ductwork removes these contaminants, allowing conditioned air to flow freely, reducing wear on the blower motor, preventing musty odors, and helping your furnace and air conditioner operate at peak efficiency.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning in this area?
For most Jefferson City homes we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, allergy sufferers, or residents with respiratory conditions may benefit from service every 2 years. Because our humid summers can promote mold growth, homeowners who notice musty smells should call sooner. We offer free inspections to help you decide the right interval.
What are common signs that my ducts need cleaning?
• Excess dust settling on furniture shortly after cleaning • Visible dust puffs or debris coming from supply registers when the HVAC turns on • Unexplained spike in energy bills • Musty or stale odors, especially when the A/C first starts • Allergy or asthma symptoms that improve when you leave the house • Recent remodeling or rodent/pest problems. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection.
What is included in your professional duct cleaning service?
1. Pre-inspection using a video scope to document buildup 2. Protection of floors, walls, and registers with drop cloths and corner guards 3. Connection of a high-powered negative-air vacuum (rated at 5,000+ CFM) to the trunk lines 4. Agitation and brushing of every supply and return run with rotary whips and compressed-air tools 5. Sanitizing fog treatment with EPA-registered disinfectant upon request 6. Cleaning of the blower compartment, evaporator coil surface, and return plenum 7. Post-inspection video and customer sign-off. We follow NADCA standards and provide before-and-after photos.
Will duct cleaning really improve my indoor air quality and energy bills?
Yes. Independent studies by the EPA and NADCA show that removing heavy debris can improve airflow by up to 25%. Better airflow means your system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain temperature, which can reduce heating and cooling costs by 5–15%. By eliminating dust, pet dander, and mold spores from the ductwork, occupants experience fewer airborne irritants, leading to reduced allergy symptoms and a fresher-smelling home.
How long does a duct cleaning appointment take and how should I prepare?
A typical single-family home (2,000–3,000 sq. ft.) takes 2–4 hours with a two-technician crew. Larger homes or systems with multiple HVAC units may take longer. Before we arrive, please: • Clear access to supply and return vents, the furnace, and the breaker panel. • Secure pets in a separate room. • Plan to keep the thermostat off during service. Our team will handle safety shut-offs. You are welcome to watch the process or run errands—we’ll call 30 minutes before finishing.
