FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will my house be less dusty after you clean the air ducts?

  Yes, the inside of your duct work is the equivalent of an extra room in your home that never gets dusted or vacuumed. By cleaning out your ducts, this eliminates existing dust to infiltrate your home, and improves overall indoor air quality.

• Will air duct cleaning help my allergies?

  Many people are allergic to animal dander, smoke, pollen and dust mite waste. Dust mites feed on debris found in duct work. Remove the debris and you remove their food. Also, by greatly reducing particulate debris in your ducts, there are less dust particles and potential allergens in the air that aggravate those with respiratory illnesses.

  **IN CASES WHEREBY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY RECOGNIZES REMOVING DUST FROM YOU DUCTS, WITH A PRESCRIPTION ISSUED BY YOUR DOCTOR. CLEANING CHARGES COULD BE COVERED BY YOU INSURANCE COMPANY. ASK YOU DOCTOR FOR A PRESCRIPTION.

• I live in a new/remodeled home. Do I still need this service?

  YES! Air duct system cleaning is needed in homes that are newly built or remodeled. During construction, the duct work is exposed and the air system is running. During this time, construction debris such as plaster dust, hardwood floor sanding dust, drywall, wood, dust, insects and insulation get into your duct work.

  Many home buyers have ducts inspected/cleaned prior to closing on their home. Have your home inspector contact us to provide a video!

• Does cleaning dryer vents lower my energy bills?

  Yes, by having your dryer vent professionally cleaned, your clothes dryer will run more efficiently.

  Try this: Try breathing through a straw-vs-regular…when the airway path is restricted you have to breathe harder to get air! Your dryer will struggle to get air used to dry your clothes. When the vent is cleaned out, it will not have to run as long, lessening the wear and tear of your dryer, reducing your need for repair and lengthening the life of your dryer as well as preventing the lint from catching on fire! Lint-filled dryer ducts cause about 4,500 home fires per year. Don’t risk everything you have worked so hard for.

• Can I clean my dryer vent on my own?

  It’s kinda like trying to work on your vehicle’s engine when you are not a mechanic…it is advised that you consult a professional. We have invested thousands of dollars in special equipment to clean and video inspect the hard-to-reach areas of the dryer vent system.

• How do I know if my dryer vents need to be cleaned?

  Using the following as a checklist, you can get a good idea if your dryer vent is in need of cleaning:

  • Clothing is taking longer to dry than normal.
  • Clothing is very hot and still damp when the dryer finishes (especially heavy items, such as towels).
  • The dryer itself feels hotter.
  • There may be no lint on the lint screen (i.e. the exhaust system is clogged).
  • Visually inspect around the back of your dryer. Is there lint debris?
