How often should my air ducts be cleaned?
Typically, it is recommended to clean your air ducts
every 1 to 2 years. However, this frequency might vary based on factors such as pets, allergies,
and the overall usage of your HVAC system.
What are the signs that my air ducts need cleaning?
Signs that indicate your air ducts need cleaning include visible dust
buildup around vents, unusual odors when the HVAC system is running, unexplained allergy
symptoms among household members, and inconsistent airflow in different parts of the house.
What are the benefits of air duct cleaning?
Air duct cleaning helps improve indoor air quality, enhances HVAC
efficiency, and can reduce allergens and irritants in your home. It also prevents premature
system failure by reducing the load on your blower motor.
Can air duct cleaning help reduce my energy bills?
Yes, cleaning your air ducts can help improve the efficiency of your HVAC
system. When ducts are clean, your heating and cooling system does not have to work as hard to
push air through, which can lead to lower energy bills and prolong the lifespan of your system.
Is the cleaning process messy?
No, our technicians use high-powered HEPA negative pressure machines that
create a vacuum, pulling all dust and debris directly into our filtration systems. We also use
drop cloths to protect your flooring and furniture.
How long does a typical cleaning take?
A standard residential air duct cleaning usually takes between 1.5 to 3
hours, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the ductwork.
Does air duct cleaning help with allergies?
Absolutely. We remove pollen, pet dander, and dust mites that accumulate in
your ducts and are otherwise recirculated every time your AC kicks on.
What equipment do you use?
We use industrial HEPA vacuums combined with specialized agitation tools
(brushes and air whips) to dislodge debris from duct walls before suctioning it out.
Do you clean the furnace/blower too?
Yes, as part of our comprehensive service, we inspect and clean the critical
internal components of your HVAC unit to ensure optimal airflow and cleanliness.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. We pride ourselves on transparent, upfront pricing. Our technicians will
provide a full assessment and confirm the total cost before any work begins.
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Most residential dryer vents should be cleaned once a year. If you have a
large family or do laundry daily, bi-annual cleaning may be necessary.
What are the warning signs of a clogged vent?
Signs include clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, the dryer being hot to
the touch, a musty smell in the laundry room, or no airflow at the exterior vent cap.
Can a clogged vent cause a fire?
Yes. Lint is extremely flammable. When airflow is restricted, heat builds up
in the dryer and can ignite the lint trapped in the vent line.
Will cleaning my vent save me money?
Definitely. A clean vent allows your dryer to run more efficiently, reducing
drying time and lowering your monthly electricity or gas bills.
Do you clean the transition hose behind the dryer?
Yes, we clean the entire vent line from the back of the dryer all the way to
the exterior exit point of your home.
What tools do you use for dryer vents?
We use specialized rotatory brushes and high-pressure air systems designed
specifically to navigate the bends and turns of dryer vent lines.
What if my vent goes through the roof?
No problem. Our team is equipped to clean vents that exit through side
walls, crawl spaces, or rooftops safely and effectively.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take?
A typical dryer vent cleaning takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the
length and accessibility of the vent line.
Can I clean the vent myself?
While superficial vacuuming helps, professional equipment is required to
reach the deep clogs and bends where most lint accumulates and poses a fire risk.
Do you offer bird nest removal from vents?
Yes, we frequently clear out bird nests and other blockages, and we can
install pest guards to prevent future intrusions.
