FAQs
Why is regular duct cleaning important for my HVAC system in Sequatchie?
Sequatchie’s mix of humid summers and cool, damp winters means dust, pollen, and biological growth can build up quickly inside your ductwork. Regular cleaning removes these contaminants, preventing them from circulating through your home, reducing strain on your HVAC equipment, and helping the system maintain optimal airflow and efficiency.
How often should I schedule professional air-duct cleaning?
For most Sequatchie homes, we recommend a full duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent service (every 2–3 years) if you have pets that shed, family members with allergies or asthma, recent renovations, or if you notice visible dust blowing from vents.
What signs indicate my ducts need cleaning?
Common red flags include: excessive dust on furniture right after cleaning; musty or burnt odors when the HVAC system cycles on; uneven airflow or rooms that never reach the desired temperature; visible dust buildup on supply registers; worsening allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors; and a recent infestation of pests (insects or rodents).
What is included in your duct-cleaning service?
Our NADCA-certified technicians start with a video camera inspection to evaluate duct conditions. We then seal each register, attach a high-powered negative-air machine to create suction, and agitate built-up debris with rotary brushes and compressed-air whips. After debris removal, we sanitize with an EPA-approved treatment, re-inspect the system, and replace the air filter. We finish by providing before-and-after photos and recommendations to keep your ducts cleaner longer.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. Removing dust, dander, mold spores, and other irritants lowers the particulate load in your indoor air, making breathing easier—especially for allergy sufferers. Clear ducts also allow conditioned air to move freely, so your furnace or air-conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates homeowners can save up to 15% on energy bills when airflow restrictions are eliminated.
How long does the duct-cleaning process take and will it disrupt my home?
A typical Sequatchie single-family home (about 2,000–2,500 sq. ft.) takes 2–4 hours to clean. We ask that you keep pets and small children away from our work area, but otherwise you can remain in the home while we work. We use protective coverings and booties to keep floors clean, and the negative-air equipment prevents dust from escaping into living spaces.
