FAQs About Duct Cleaning

• What is residential duct cleaning? Residential duct cleaning involves the removal of dust, debris, mold, allergens, and other contaminants from the ductwork in a home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Professional cleaning helps improve indoor air quality and ensures the system operates efficiently.
• Why do I need my air ducts cleaned? Think of your air ducts as the lungs of your home. Just like your lungs need to be cleaned to ensure you’re breathing fresh air, your ducts need cleaning to maintain healthy air quality. Over time, dust, dirt, pet dander, and even mold can accumulate inside, which can negatively impact your home’s air quality and your health, particularly if you have allergies or asthma.
• What happens during a duct cleaning? During a cleaning, a professional uses a large vacuum and specialized tools to dislodge and remove debris from the ducts. It’s like a deep cleaning for your home’s airways—similar to how a plumber might use tools to clear a clogged drain, a duct cleaner clears the passageways that air flows through.
• Is duct cleaning safe for my HVAC system? Yes, when performed by a certified and experienced professional, duct cleaning is safe for your HVAC system. Technicians use specialized tools and techniques to avoid damaging the ducts or other components. It’s important to hire a licensed and reputable company to ensure the cleaning process is done correctly and safely.
• Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills? Cleaning your ducts can potentially improve airflow, which helps your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently. Imagine trying to push water through a clogged pipe—it takes more effort. Similarly, when ducts are clogged with debris, your HVAC system has to work harder, which can increase energy costs. Cleaning helps the system run smoothly, potentially lowering your energy bills.

FAQs About Annual Maintenance for Your HVAC System

• Can I perform HVAC maintenance myself? While there are a few simple tasks homeowners can do themselves, such as changing air filters, it’s highly recommended to hire a licensed HVAC professional for the annual maintenance. Technicians have the tools and expertise to perform a thorough inspection, identify potential problems, and safely service your system. DIY maintenance could miss critical issues and might even void warranties in some cases.
• Why is annual HVAC maintenance important? Regular HVAC maintenance helps ensure your system runs efficiently, which can extend its lifespan, reduce energy bills, and prevent costly repairs. Routine checkups also improve air quality, maintain consistent temperature control, and prevent unexpected breakdowns, especially during peak seasons (summer and winter).
• How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance? It’s recommended that you schedule HVAC maintenance once a year, ideally before the start of the heavy heating (fall) or cooling (summer) season. Some homeowners prefer to have their systems checked in the spring and fall, but either timing is effective as long as it’s done annually. It’s important to note that we are unable to perform annual maintenance on your air conditioning unit when the outdoor temps are below 60˚.
• What does annual HVAC maintenance include? Annual HVAC maintenance typically includes a comprehensive inspection and cleaning of your heating and cooling system. Key tasks often involve:
  • Cleaning or replacing air filters.
  • Inspecting and cleaning the coils (evaporator and condenser).
  • Checking refrigerant levels and refilling if necessary.
  • Examining ductwork for leaks or blockages.
  • Lubricating moving parts (e.g., fans, motors).
  • Calibrating the thermostat and checking system settings.
  • Inspecting and cleaning the drain line to prevent clogs.
  • Testing the overall system performance for efficiency.
