Air Duct Cleaning FAQ
The primary advantages to professional air duct cleaning include better air quality, less air pollution/toxins, lower utility expenses, more consistent airflow, and fewer allergies.
Clean Sweep Duct Cleaning & Air Conditioning has an array of tools to identify the root cause of dirty air ducts. Our technicians use specialized techniques to dislodge bacteria, dirt, debris, and even the worst stuff located deep inside your system’s interior. After thoroughly sanitizing everything, they replace customer-provided air filters, and finish by checking current performance levels for damage, leaks, or faults.
The National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA) recommends thorough air duct cleaning about every three to five years. You may, however, wish to do this more often if you own pets or have residents with allergies or respiratory conditions. This helps eliminate harmful air pollutants such as pollen, dust, cigarette smoke, pet dander, and construction/renovation dust
Many of our service tasks take only one to three hours to finish. It can last longer, however, if you own a very large property, haven’t received cleaning in quite some time, or own several pets.
Most of the time, your air ducts just need a thorough cleaning. However, you may need to replace them in certain circumstances. If so, we can refer another professional for that, which would include a third-party fee.
While it’s possible to at least partially clean a dryer vent, we recommend calling a professional for better results. That’s because you need specialized equipment to get into the ductwork, which is impossible for most homeowners.
These are the signs you should call a professional for air duct cleaning: You notice substantial, visible organic growth inside hard surface ducts (e.g., sheet metal) or on other HVAC components. You’ve had recent construction or home renovation. Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects). Ducts are clogged with excessive dust, debris, and/or your supply registers are releasing particles into your home. Your walls appear darker or lighter than normal, possibly because of dust collection.
These are the passageways for air to flow through your building’s ventilation system. Your HVAC equipment forces either cold or warm air through these passageways.
This happens over time from normal usage. After a while, your air filters cannot contain all dirt, debris, and contaminants on their own. Just as you would need to change filters, it’s also wise to clean and sanitize the ducts themselves.
