FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Jefferson City?
In mid-Missouri’s humid, allergy-prone climate we recommend scheduling a professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. Homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or residents with asthma or allergies may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2 years. Regular cleaning helps remove pollen, mold spores, and dust that accumulate faster in our four-season environment.
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning for my heating and cooling system?
A thorough duct cleaning improves indoor air quality by eliminating built-up dust, pet dander, pollen, and microbial growth. Cleaner ducts also allow your furnace and air conditioner to operate with less airflow restriction, which can lower energy bills and extend equipment life. Many Jefferson City homeowners also notice fewer allergy symptoms and reduced household odors after service.
What signs indicate my ducts may need to be cleaned?
Common red flags include visible dust puffs from supply registers, musty or stale odors when the HVAC system runs, unexplained allergy flare-ups, or dark lines around vent edges (known as filtration marks). If you recently completed construction work, discovered mold in the HVAC cabinet, or haven’t had the ducts cleaned in over five years, it’s time to schedule an inspection.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and will I need to leave my home?
For most single-family homes in Jefferson City a complete cleaning takes 2–4 hours. Technicians seal registers, create negative pressure with a high-powered vacuum, then agitate debris with rotary brushes and compressed air. You can stay home during the service—just keep children and pets clear of work areas. Our crew will wear boot covers and use drop cloths to protect your flooring.
Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC equipment and what standards do you follow?
Yes. We use soft-bristle rotary brushes, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and EPA-registered sanitizers specifically approved for HVAC use. All work follows the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) ACR Standard and the EPA’s guidelines for duct cleaning. We also inspect the blower, evaporator coil, and plenums to ensure no components are damaged or re-contaminated.
How much does duct cleaning cost in Jefferson City and what factors affect the price?
Pricing generally ranges from $400–$700 for an average 1,800–2,500 sq ft home. Costs vary based on total number of supply and return vents, system complexity (e.g., multiple HVAC units or zones), degree of contamination, and optional add-ons like dryer-vent cleaning or antimicrobial fogging.
