FAQs
How can duct cleaning reduce allergy flares in my New Tazewell home?
Over time, your HVAC ductwork collects dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens that are common in the Cumberland Gap region. Every time your system cycles on, these particles can be blown back into the living space, triggering sneezing, itchy eyes, or asthma symptoms. A thorough, professional duct cleaning removes that built-up debris and applies a sanitizer, so the air circulating through your vents is cleaner and less likely to aggravate allergies.
How often should I schedule professional duct cleaning to manage allergies?
For most New Tazewell households, we recommend a complete duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if anyone in the home has severe allergies or respiratory issues, if you own shedding pets, or if your house is near busy roads or farmland that produces extra dust and pollen, consider cleaning every 2–3 years. You should also schedule a cleaning after any major renovation project, water leak, or suspected mold event.
What contaminants are typically removed during a duct cleaning service?
Our high-pressure air whips, rotating brushes, and HEPA-filtered vacuums extract dust, drywall debris, pollen, pet hair, insect remains, rodent droppings, and visible mold growth from supply and return runs, trunk lines, and the air handler. We also clean registers, grilles, the blower, evaporator coil housing, and the drain pan so the entire air pathway is free of accumulated allergens and microbial growth.
Will duct cleaning improve the efficiency of my HVAC system as well?
Yes. When ducts are clogged with dust and debris, the blower motor has to work harder to push air, which can raise utility bills and shorten equipment life. After cleaning, airflow resistance drops, allowing your furnace or heat pump to reach the thermostat setting faster. Many customers notice lower energy costs, more even room temperatures, and reduced wear on critical HVAC components.
How long does a typical duct cleaning appointment take and will I need to leave my house?
A standard single-family home in New Tazewell takes about 3–5 hours, depending on duct length and the level of contamination. You can stay in the house during the service; our negative-air machines maintain suction so dislodged dust is captured immediately rather than released indoors. We’ll protect floors and furniture, and you can resume normal HVAC operation as soon as we finish.
Are there additional indoor air quality products you recommend to complement duct cleaning for allergy sufferers?
Absolutely. Pairing duct cleaning with a high-MERV pleated filter (or a whole-home media filter), a UV-C germicidal light in the air handler, or an electronic air purifier can further reduce allergens between cleanings. In our humid East Tennessee climate, a whole-home dehumidifier also helps inhibit mold and dust-mite growth. We’re happy to evaluate your system and recommend the right combination for lasting relief.
