FAQs
Why is professional duct cleaning important for my HVAC system?
Over time dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and construction debris accumulate inside supply and return ducts. This buildup restricts airflow, forces your heating and cooling equipment to work harder, and can continuously recirculate pollutants throughout your home. Our professional service uses commercial-grade negative-pressure vacuums and rotating brush systems to remove these contaminants, restoring proper airflow, protecting your furnace and A/C coils from dirt, and helping the entire HVAC system last longer with fewer repairs.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Turtletowns climate?
Most homes benefit from a thorough duct cleaning every 3 6 years, but several local factors can shorten that interval. Turtletowns humid summers can promote mold growth, while our pollen-heavy spring season adds extra debris to the ductwork. Homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may require service every 2 3 years. Were happy to provide a free inspection and recommend a schedule tailored to your households needs.
What signs indicate that my ducts need cleaning?
Common indicators include visible dust puffs coming from registers, dark lines on ceiling or carpet around vents, persistent musty or smoky odors, unexplained allergy or respiratory flare-ups, an increase in energy bills even after filter changes, or evidence of rodent or insect infestation in the ductwork. If you notice any of these symptoms, its smart to schedule a professional assessment.
What is included in your state-of-the-art duct cleaning process?
1. Pre-inspection: We photograph and measure particulate levels inside several duct runs to document the starting condition. 2. System isolation: Each supply and return line is sealed so no debris escapes into living areas. 3. Negative-air vacuum: Our HEPA-filtered vacuum trucks create powerful suction (up to 3,000 CFM) that pulls contaminants toward the collection system. 4. Mechanical agitation: High-speed rotating brushes and compressed-air whips break loose stubborn debris and dislodge microbial films. 5. Coil and blower cleaning: We clean the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and drain pan to ensure the entire air path is spotless. 6. Optional sanitizing: We can fog EPA-registered disinfectants or apply antimicrobial coatings to inhibit mold and bacteria. 7. Post-inspection: We show you before-and-after images and provide a written report with maintenance recommendations.
Will duct cleaning improve indoor air quality and reduce energy bills?
Yes. Removing built-up particulate matter significantly lowers the number of airborne allergens and irritants circulating in the home, which can reduce asthma and allergy symptoms. A clean duct system allows your furnace and air conditioner to move air with less resistance, typically improving efficiency by 1015%. Many Turtletown customers see energy-cost savings within the first cooling or heating season after service.
How long does a typical residential duct cleaning appointment take and what should I do to prepare?
Most single-family homes in Turtletown take 3 5 hours to complete, depending on the number of registers and the level of contamination. To prepare, please: 5 Ensure all pets are secured. 5 Clear a path to the HVAC equipment, main vents, and each supply register. 5 Remove fragile items from shelves or furniture near vents that we might need to access. 5 Plan to be home so our technician can review findings with you. We handle the rest, including resealing access holes and cleaning up any work-site dust before we leave.
