Frequently Asked Questions
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends having your air ducts cleaned every 3-5 years. An individual may want to consider more frequent cleaning under these listed circumstances:
- Occupants with allergies or asthma
- Active smoking indoors
- Pet dander and hair
- Water, mold, or smoke contamination
- After renovations or remodeling
- Prior to moving into a newly constructed building (construction debris)
- Purchasing an existing home or facility to remove the previous owner’s dust and debris
What are some of the benefits of having my air ducts professionally cleaned?
Having the air ducts cleaned can significantly improve the indoor air quality in your home or business. Once the air ducts have been cleaned, you should notice:
- Reduced allergy and asthma triggers
- Reduced household dust, ultimately helping you clean less
- Increased air flow
- More even temperatures from room to room
- Lower utility bills (Link to NADCA scientific study)
- Improved indoor air quality
Are there any health benefits to air duct cleaning?
Yes, professionally cleaned and deodorized ductwork can reduce mold, fungi, pollen, bacteria, and dust particles. These contaminants are known to trigger allergies, asthma, and other health problems. By reducing the contaminants in the ductwork, you are allowing the air that circulates throughout your home to be cleaner, and therefore healthier.
How long will it take to clean the air ducts in my home?
This varies depending on the size of the home and the layout of the ductwork. An average size home can take between three and five hours with two trained technicians.
I received a coupon in the mail advertising a much lower price. Is there a difference in service?
Yes, the companies that charge a nominal fee for example “$199 whole house special,” often send just one man to do seven or eight jobs a day. This technique does not allow enough time to do a thorough job cleaning out your air ducts. These companies usually persuade the consumer into unneeded services as well. Typically, companies with this strategy have a different price for each portion of the system, and their technicians are encouraged to up-sell each area of the system. Instead of paying our team members by commission, we pay our team members by the hour, eliminating the high-pressure sales tactic.
Will air duct cleaning make a mess?
No, our high-powered vacuum trucks create negative air pressure throughout the system, removing all dust and debris directly outside to our truck.
Can I stay in the house during the cleaning?
Yes, no evacuation is necessary during our air duct cleaning service.
