FAQs
What is camera-guided brush duct cleaning and how does it work?
Camera-guided brush cleaning is an advanced method in which a high-definition inspection camera is inserted into your HVAC ductwork ahead of a rotating, soft-bristle brush. The live video feed lets our technicians see every inch of the duct interior, identify heavy debris or mold, and verify that each section is thoroughly scrubbed. As the brush loosens dust, lint, pollen, and microbial growth, a powerful HEPA-filtered vacuum extracts the contaminants, preventing them from circulating back into your Jellico home or business.
Why is duct cleaning important for Jellico homes and businesses?
Jellico’s humid summers and cool, damp winters create a perfect environment for dust mites, mold spores, and pollen to accumulate inside HVAC ducts. When your system runs, those pollutants recirculate, aggravating allergies, reducing airflow, and forcing your equipment to work harder. Routine duct cleaning removes these irritants, improves indoor air quality, and can help cut energy costs by allowing your furnace and air conditioner to operate at peak efficiency.
How often should I schedule a professional duct cleaning?
Most Jellico property owners benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need service sooner if you’ve recently completed a renovation, have pets that shed, notice visible mold or a musty odor, or suffer from persistent allergy or respiratory issues. Our technicians can perform a camera inspection to determine whether cleaning is needed sooner than the standard interval.
Will camera-guided brushing damage my ductwork?
No. The brushes we use are specially selected for your duct material—whether sheet metal, flex duct, or fiberglass-lined plenums. They are soft enough to avoid scratching or tearing yet firm enough to dislodge buildup. Because the camera shows us obstacles in real time, we can adjust speed and pressure instantly, preventing accidental damage that sometimes occurs with blind cleaning methods.
How long does the process take and do I need to leave the building?
An average single-family home in Jellico takes 2–4 hours to clean; larger commercial spaces vary based on square footage and duct complexity. You do not need to vacate. Our equipment is sealed and vented outdoors, and the HEPA vacuums keep particulate levels safely below EPA guidelines during operation, so you can remain on site with minimal disruption.
What benefits should I expect after my ducts are cleaned?
Clients typically notice: (1) cleaner, fresher-smelling air; (2) a reduction in dust settling on furniture; (3) fewer allergy or asthma flare-ups; (4) more balanced temperatures as airflow improves; and (5) potential energy savings of 5–15% because your HVAC system no longer has to push air through clogged passages. The on-board camera lets us show you before-and-after footage, so you can see the difference for yourself.
