Air Duct Cleaning FAQ
You’ve got questions, and we have the answers! We want you to know how and why we ensure your ducts are clean of dust and debris. Scroll below to read some of our more frequently asked questions.
Does air duct cleaning affect indoor air quality?
Studies have proven that a dirty HVAC system is often to blame for polluted air quality. When bacteria, dust, fungi, and other allergens are allowed to accumulate within the ducts, they can easily become airborne, introduced into the home, and breathed by occupants. Professional air duct cleaning reduces sources of contamination and promotes a more hygienic living environment.
Can air duct cleaning make a difference for allergy sufferers?
Cleaner air is easier and better for everyone to breathe. Whether you suffer from chronic allergies, respiratory problems, or are in perfect health, dust and toxins entering the lungs and nose trigger sneezing, coughing, and congestion. Duct cleaning contributes to clean air, comfort, and confidence in your home.
Does Air Duct Cleaning reduce home energy bills?
A heavy build-up of grime and contaminants within the ductwork restricts airflow, forcing the HVAC system to work harder, run longer, and consume more energy. A clean system allows for peak efficiency and delivers cost-effective operation.
Why does the air coming from the HVAC vents smell musty?
Dust, dirt, and other debris accumulated within the ducts tends to trap odors from pets, tobacco use, food preparation, paint fumes, and more. Every time the air conditioner or furnace operates, these smells flow throughout the house. Duct cleaning results in a fresher smelling home.
How often should the air ducts be cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends a professional cleaning every 3-5 years. If you’re moving into a new home, have completed a remodeling project, suffer from allergies or asthma, have pets, or are faced with any water damage or contamination, it’s a good idea to have the ducts inspected more frequently.

How long does a typical Air Duct Cleaning take?
The amount of time it takes to clean a residential HVAC system can vary, depending on the complexity of the system. Normally, the deep air duct cleaning process should take at least 3-5 hours.
What is a normal price range for Deep Air Duct Cleaning Service?
The Environmental Protection Agency says that “duct cleaning services typically range in cost from $450 to $1000 per heating and cooling system, depending on the services offered, the size of the system to be cleaned, system accessibility, climactic region, and level of contamination” and type of duct material.
