FAQs
Why should I have my HVAC ducts cleaned in Sequatchie?
Sequatchie’s mix of rural pollen, seasonal humidity, and Cumberland Plateau dust can accumulate inside your ductwork, circulating allergens and reducing system efficiency. Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, helping allergy-prone residents breathe easier, reducing household dust, and allowing your heating and cooling equipment to operate with less airflow resistance.
What makes your HEPA-filtered vacuum method different from traditional duct cleaning?
Our equipment uses true HEPA filtration that captures 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns, preventing loosened debris from re-entering your living space. The vacuums create a sealed negative-pressure environment inside the duct run, while rotating brushes and compressed-air whips dislodge buildup. Traditional shop-vac or low-grade filters can exhaust fine particulates back into the home; our HEPA units trap them completely, leaving the indoor air cleaner than before we arrived.
How often should my air ducts be cleaned, and are there signs I need service sooner?
Most Sequatchie homeowners benefit from duct cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need service sooner if you notice visible mold inside vents, excessive dust on supply registers within days of cleaning, musty or burnt odors when the system starts, recent home renovations, a rodent or insect issue, or family members with unexplained respiratory symptoms. A quick inspection by our technicians can confirm whether cleaning is warranted.
Will duct cleaning improve energy efficiency and lower my utility bills?
Yes. Dust, pet hair, and construction debris restrict airflow, forcing the blower motor to work harder and the system to run longer to reach the thermostat setting. Restoring unobstructed airflow can increase efficiency by 5–20 %, which translates into lower monthly heating and cooling costs and reduced wear on expensive components like the blower motor and compressor.
Is the process safe for my HVAC system and the indoor air in my home?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards, use soft-bristle brush heads sized to your duct diameter, and protect delicate components such as evaporator coils and humidifiers. The sealed HEPA vacuum prevents cross-contamination, and we finish with an optional botanical disinfectant that is EPA-registered for HVAC use and safe for children, pets, and chemically sensitive individuals.
What should I do to prepare for my duct cleaning appointment, and how long will it take?
Please clear furniture or décor blocking vents and return grilles, secure pets, and ensure a standard 120-volt outlet is available for our equipment. A typical Sequatchie residence (1,800–2,500 sq ft, one air handler) takes 2–4 hours; larger homes or multiple systems may require 4–6 hours. You can remain in the home during service, and your HVAC will be fully operational as soon as we finish.
