FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by Fresher Air Heating & Air Conditioning?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even coal-dust residue common in the Pikeville area can build up inside your ductwork. When the HVAC system runs, those contaminants are circulated through your home, aggravating allergies, lowering system efficiency, and creating musty odors. Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, helping you breathe cleaner air, reducing wear on your equipment, and cutting utility costs.
How often do Pikeville homeowners need duct cleaning?
For most homes we recommend a thorough cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need service sooner if you have pets that shed, recently completed a renovation, notice visible dust on vents, or live near one of Pikeville’s active construction or mining sites. Families with allergy or asthma sufferers often benefit from an annual inspection and more frequent cleanings.
What are the signs that my ductwork needs cleaning?
Common indicators include: visible dust or dark streaks around supply registers, persistent allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation, musty or stale odors when the system runs, inconsistent airflow between rooms, or an unexplained rise in energy bills. If you remove a vent cover and see matted dust on the duct walls or clumps near the blower, it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning.
What does Fresher Air’s duct cleaning process involve?
1) Inspection: We document duct conditions with a video scope. 2) Protection: Drop cloths and vent covers safeguard your floors and furnishings. 3) Negative-pressure vacuum: A high-powered HEPA unit pulls debris toward our truck-mounted collector. 4) Agitation: Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge buildup along the entire run, including supply, return, and trunk lines. 5) Sanitizing (optional): We can apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial mist to inhibit future microbial growth. 6) Final walkthrough: We show before-and-after images and verify airflow has improved before leaving.
Will duct cleaning really improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing particulate buildup allows your HVAC system to move air more freely, often restoring up to 20 % of lost airflow. That translates to shorter run times and lower monthly bills. Cleaner ducts also mean fewer irritants circulating in your living space, leading many homeowners to report reduced allergy flare-ups, less household dust, and fresher-smelling air.
How long does the service take, and do I need to leave my home?
A typical single-family home in Pikeville takes 2–4 hours to complete, depending on the number of vents and the duct condition. You can stay in the house during the process; our equipment is sealed and vented outdoors, so there’s minimal disturbance. We do recommend keeping pets secured and small children away from our work zones for safety.
