We Clean Ducts the Right Way

Air duct cleaning is a job for a professional. Many types of pollutants can contaminate ductwork. These include corrosive chemicals and particulates including dust, dirt, pollen, and others that can clog your AC system or exacerbate allergies or asthma. 

Mold can grow and circulate and cause significant damage and health hazards. Whatever is in your air ducts, we use the latest professional-grade equipment to clean, decontaminate, and sanitize them. High-tech inspection methods let us find what’s in there and confirm the success of any Tampa air duct cleaning project.

Signs You Need Air Duct Cleaning

Ductwork cleaning isn’t recommended as often as general HVAC maintenance. Residential air ducts often go many years without being serviced. Therefore, it pays to recognize the signs of contamination, so you can schedule a professional air duct cleaning. Call a professional if you notice the following signs:

• Unpleasant Symptoms: If you experience allergy, cold, or flu symptoms while at home,  you may have dirty air ducts. Contaminants will continue to circulate until duct cleaning is performed. Constant exposure can trigger symptoms such as:
  • Coughing
  • Sneezing
  • Running Nose
  • Itchy or sore throat
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Congestion
  • Asthma attacks
  • Respiratory infections
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Headaches
  • Low-grade fever
• Dirty Vents: Dust may quickly collect on vent grills or you may see dust blow from vents when your HVAC system starts up.
• Clogged Air Filters: Did you recently change the air filter but it’s clogged again? Having to replace the filter every few days can mean your air ducts are dirty.
• Dusty Home: Aside from filters and vents becoming dirty quickly, surfaces throughout your home may be covered in dust that’s blown in from the ductwork.
• Reduced Airflow: Even a small layer of grime can increase friction and reduce airflow. If the flow of air from vents feels weaker, check the grills and call a duct cleaning professional.
• Poor HVAC Performance: Dirty ducts can cause your HVAC system to take longer to heat or cool your home. It may also cycle more frequently.
• Foul Odors: Musty smells can originate from dust and grime. In some cases, bad odors can be due to mold or the presence of insects or animals in your ducts.
• Unusual Noises: Scratching sounds can mean critters are moving around in air ducts while buzzing may come from swarms of insects. Rattling, banging, and knocking sounds should also prompt you to call a professional.
• Mold and Mildew: If you see mold growth on vents and other parts of your HVAC system, it may be present throughout your ductwork. You’ll need a pro for air duct cleaning and mold removal.
• Infestations: Dander, droppings, bacteria, and viruses from pests can put your family’s health at risk. Schedule a Tampa air duct cleaning if you hear or see mice, rats, or insects in your home or moving in and out of registers.
• Higher Energy Costs: Blocked air ducts can reduce airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and increasing your energy bills.

Other reasons to schedule duct cleaning include recent home repairs or renovations. Construction activity produces dust and dirt that can easily make its way into air ducts. Also, if you have no record of an air duct cleaning, it may be time to schedule one.

Benefits of Duct Cleaning

Hiring an air duct cleaning service may be an expense and time commitment you keep putting off. However, it can have more of a long-term impact on your health, well-being, and wallet than you think. Decontaminating and sanitizing your ductwork can yield the following benefits:

• Improved Efficiency: Cleaner ducts help reduce the workload on your AC or furnace. Therefore, your HVAC equipment can run at peak efficiency, reducing your energy bill.
• Better Indoor Air Quality: Air duct cleaning can reduce the amount of dust in the air. Less pollen, mold spores, and dander improves indoor air quality. There also may be fewer odors.
• Avoid Major HVAC Repairs: By having your ducts cleaned, your HVAC system can run more smoothly, which reduces the risk of problems that require major repairs.
• Prevent Mold: Mold thrives in damp, dark areas like inside air ducts. A routine duct cleaning allows a technician to remove mold as it starts growing or prevent it from taking hold in the first place.
• Technicians Can Check for Other Damage: During duct cleaning, a contractor can check for potential problems, such as duct leaks or loose connections, and fix them before major damage occurs.
