Most Asked Questions About Air Duct Cleaning

We strongly believe in the benefits that a good air duct cleaning can do for the home. Cleaning out your air ducts can reduce allergens and odors and keep your unit running efficiently for years to come. We cover the basic questions that people have about air duct cleaning in this blog.

Can Air Duct Cleaning Help Decrease Energy Bills?

It has been shown that cleaning out your air ducts may impact your energy bills because it allows your system to run more efficiently. A clean system will generally operate better than a dirty one which lowers your chances of running into breakdowns and increases the lifespan of your HVAC.

Will Cleaning Out My Air Ducts Be Messy?

Professionals have a specific way of cleaning air ducts that will not lead to a large mess in your home. They’ll bring in equipment that sucks up the dust and debris in the ducts without displacing anything into the rooms that ducts lead to.

How Do I Choose a Good Air Duct Cleaner?

When choosing a quality air duct cleaner make sure to check for any licenses and insurances, ask around for references, and find a company that is NADCA-certified. You can also reach out to multiple HVAC companies and ask for estimates before making your decision.

What Are the Health Benefits of Getting My Air Ducts Cleaned?

Our ventilation systems circulate a lot of air on a daily basis. As a result, contaminants such as dust, bacteria, and mold can get trapped in our ducts and buildup over time. This becomes a health risk especially for those who already have trouble breathing. A thorough clean will improve the overall indoor air quality.

How Often Should My Air Ducts Be Cleaned?

Air ducts should be cleaned every couple of years, but we recommend more frequent cleanings in homes with smokers, pets that shed excessively, or water contamination. We also suggest doing an air duct cleaning if you’ve recently moved in, completed a large home renovation project, or live in a home with people who suffer from allergies or asthma.

What Happens During an Air Duct Cleaning?

During the cleaning, the professional will use specialized equipment to remove any dirt and debris from inside your vents. They’ll also tackle any other problems like mold or bacteria. Afterwards, your vents will go through a thorough disinfecting which involves applying antimicrobial chemicals and other sanitizing agents to the vents. Finally, your air filters will be replaced, and the technician will do a final check of your system.
