You don’t ordinarily see them, but your ducts are a crucial part of your home. They can harbor a variety of hidden problems that can have serious consequences. Common problems that may affect your air duct system include:

• Contamination: Dust, pollen, animal dander, mold, and other contaminants can collect in your ductwork, leading to indoor air quality that’s up to 100 times worse than outside, per EPA estimates.
• Blockage: A duct mainly consists of narrow passages that can easily get clogged; insects, rodents, and birds can get inside, build nests, and block ducts as well.
• Poor Sealing: If the registers and grills are poorly sealed, contaminants such as debris and insects can get inside more easily, and more conditioned air can escape.
• Leakage: Inadequate sealing causes your ducts to lose air, preventing your HVAC system from maintaining a comfortable temperature. Heating and cooling units also work harder.
• Design Flaws: Poorly designed ductwork can have obstructions that make it prone to collecting dirt and getting clogged. Kinks and twists can block airflow.

A clean ventilation system allows your HVAC system to work more efficiently, which is why regular home air duct cleaning services are so important for comfort and energy savings. 

In turn, your home is heated and cooled faster, lowering utility costs and extending the life of your air conditioning system. Duct cleaning accomplishes more than air filters alone, even if you have a high-end air filtration system.

Dirt, debris, bacteria, viruses, pollen, and different types of mold can accumulate in your ducts, which can adversely affect the health of adults, children, the elderly, and even pets in your home. We clean air ducts in residential and commercial settings where cleaner air can improve indoor air quality and reduce the number of sick days among your workforce.

How often should I schedule home air duct cleaning services?

Most air duct systems should be professionally cleaned every 3 to 5 years, according to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). However, this schedule depends heavily on household factors, with more frequent cleaning recommended for homes with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies/asthma.

What are the signs I need professional air duct cleaning service?

Key signs that you need professional air duct cleaning include excessive, recurring dust on surfaces, visible mold or debris inside vent covers, and musty odors. Other red flags include unexplained spikes in energy bills, poor airflow, and increased allergy or respiratory issues among occupants. 

How long does professional air duct cleaning service usually take?

Professional air duct cleaning typically takes between 2 to 5 hours for an average-sized home between 1,500 to 3,000 sq ft. The duration depends on factors like the number of vents, the complexity of the HVAC system, and the extent of contamination, with larger homes potentially taking up to a full day. 

Will air duct cleaning services improve my indoor air quality?

Yes, air duct cleaning can improve indoor air quality (IAQ) if your system has significant buildup of dust, mold, or contaminants that are being circulated through your home. Air duct cleaning is especially beneficial if you have pets, allergies, or recent renovations. It can reduce allergens, improve airflow, and increase HVAC efficiency.

Are home air duct cleaning services messy or disruptive?

Professional air duct cleaning is generally not very messy if done by qualified technicians using specialized, high-powered vacuums with HEPA filters to contain dust. While the process is designed to be self-contained, it is noisy, requires access to every vent and your HVAC system, and can cause short, temporary disruption.
