FAQs
What is a truck-mounted vacuum duct-cleaning system and how does it work?
A truck-mounted system is a high-powered vacuum unit permanently installed in a service truck. Long, sealed hoses run from the truck into your home’s ductwork. As our technicians agitate dust and debris with specialized air whips and brushes, the vacuum draws contaminants directly into the truck’s filter pods, keeping all dirt outside your Winfield home. This method delivers up to 5,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of suction—five to ten times stronger than portable equipment—so it removes heavier debris, construction dust and microbial growth more effectively and in less time.
Why should I consider duct cleaning for my Winfield home or business?
Winfield’s four-season climate means HVAC systems switch between heating and cooling for much of the year. This constant air circulation carries pollen, agricultural dust, pet dander, and humidity-driven moisture into the ductwork, where they can accumulate and feed mold. Clean ducts help: • Improve indoor air quality for allergy and asthma sufferers • Reduce musty or stale odors that linger after our humid summers • Lower fire risk by removing lint and construction debris • Help HVAC components run more efficiently, which can cut energy costs by 5-15%.
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
NADCA (the National Air Duct Cleaners Association) recommends cleaning every 3–5 years under normal conditions. You may need service sooner—every 2–3 years—if you’ve recently remodeled, have multiple pets, smoke indoors, suffer from respiratory issues, or notice visible dust puffs coming from registers. Rental properties and commercial spaces in Winfield’s farming areas may also require more frequent cleaning due to higher particulate levels.
Will duct cleaning lower my energy bills or just improve air quality?
Both. Removing a 0.042-inch layer of dust from HVAC components can improve system efficiency by up to 21%, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Cleaner duct surfaces allow conditioned air to flow freely, so your furnace or air conditioner cycles less often. Many Winfield customers report noticeable improvements—particularly during peak heating months—along with better airflow to distant rooms and fewer dusting chores.
What should I expect during a truck-mounted duct-cleaning appointment and how long will it take?
Most single-family homes in Winfield take 2–4 hours. Our process includes: 1) Arrival & walk-through; 2) Protection of floors and registers; 3) Cutting access ports in supply and return trunks (resealed afterward); 4) Connecting the truck vacuum; 5) Zone-by-zone cleaning with air whips, skipper balls, and brushes; 6) Coil, blower, and plenum inspection; 7) Fogging an EPA-approved sanitizer if requested; 8) Final cleanup and before/after photos. You don’t need to leave home, but we ask that pets be secured and driveway access be clear for the truck.
Is truck-mounted duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system and my home?
Yes. Our equipment operates under negative pressure, so no debris escapes indoors. We use soft-shaft brushes and rubber-tipped agitators sized for your duct material—whether galvanized steel, flex duct, or fiberboard—to prevent tears or dents. Access holes are sealed with code-compliant galvanized plates and mastic. All technicians are NADCA-certified, insured, and follow strict safety protocols, including the use of drop cloths, corner guards, and HEPA vacuums for localized tasks. Your HVAC warranty remains intact, and most homeowners notice a cleaner, fresher-smelling home immediately after service.
