FAQs
What is a truck-mounted vacuum and why is it better for duct cleaning than portable equipment?
A truck-mounted vacuum is a powerful negative-air machine permanently installed inside a service truck. From the curb it pulls debris through an 8- to 10-inch hose that connects to your duct system, creating up to 5,000 CFM of suction—10–15 times more than most portable machines. The higher airflow removes built-up dust, pollen, pet dander, and construction debris in a single pass and vents it outside your home, so contaminants never recirculate indoors. The result is a more thorough cleaning, shorter job times, and cleaner indoor air for your Strawberry Plains residence.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Strawberry Plains, TN?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years for a typical household. In Strawberry Plains, many homeowners schedule cleaning closer to every 2–3 years because our humid summers and high spring pollen counts accelerate dust and biological growth inside ductwork. You should also consider earlier service if you’ve recently completed renovations, have pets that shed, notice visible dust around vents, or family members suffer from allergies or asthma.
Can duct cleaning really lower my heating and cooling bills?
Yes. When supply and return ducts are free of debris, your HVAC blower motor can move air with less resistance. Independent studies show that clean ductwork can improve system efficiency by 10–20 percent. That translates into lower electricity or gas consumption, less wear on components, and a longer life for your furnace or heat pump—important in the variable climate of Strawberry Plains.
Is the truck-mounted vacuum process safe for my HVAC system and home?
Absolutely. We isolate each section of ductwork, place the system under controlled negative pressure, and agitate contaminants using soft-bristle brushes and compressed-air whips designed for metal or flexible ducts. Because the debris is pulled directly into a sealed containment tank on the truck and passes through multi-stage HEPA filtration, nothing is released indoors. We cover flooring, wear shoe covers, and restore every access panel to factory specs, so your equipment warranty remains intact.
How long will a residential duct cleaning appointment take?
For an average 2,000- to 2,500-square-foot home in Strawberry Plains, plan on 2–4 hours. Factors such as the number of HVAC systems, accessibility of duct runs, and the level of contamination can extend the appointment. Our technician will give you an exact time estimate after the pre-inspection, but most families can schedule the service for a single morning or afternoon without major disruption.
What should I do to prepare my home before the technicians arrive?
1. Clear access to supply and return vents by moving furniture or décor about three feet away. 2. Make sure pets are secured in a separate room or crate for their safety. 3. Provide a driveway space for our truck—its vacuum hose needs to reach the front or back door. 4. Replace any heavily soiled air filters so we can gauge post-cleaning airflow accurately. 5. If you have special concerns (anti-microbial treatment, dryer-vent cleaning, or coil cleaning), mention them during scheduling so the crew brings the right equipment. Following these steps helps us finish the job efficiently and ensures you get the full benefits of a deep duct cleaning.
