Will duct cleaning damage my ducts?

Professional air duct cleaning, done by NADCA-certified technicians using proper equipment and techniques, should not damage your ducts. Ensure the company you choose follows NADCA standards and uses soft-bristled brushes designed for ductwork, avoiding metal brushes or harsh tools that can scratch or damage duct materials.

Is air duct cleaning worth it?

Professional air duct cleaning is worth it if you have indoor air quality concerns (allergies, visible mold), if your system hasn't been cleaned in several years (3-5 years is the recommended interval), after home renovations, or if you notice reduced airflow. The benefits of improved IAQ, enhanced HVAC efficiency, and extended equipment life often outweigh the cost, especially for those sensitive to dust or allergens.

How do I prepare my home for air duct cleaning?

Before the air duct cleaners arrive:
  • Clear furniture and belongings near vents.
  • Provide access to the HVAC system and attic or crawlspace.
  • Secure pets to prevent interference.
  • Discuss cleaning scope and procedures with the company.

How do I disinfect my air ducts?

Disinfecting air ducts requires specialized products and procedures. While some air duct cleaning companies offer sanitization services, using EPA-registered antimicrobial chemicals to kill bacteria and mold, you should consult with a qualified HVAC professional to determine the appropriate approach and avoid harsh chemicals or methods that might damage your HVAC system or release harmful substances into your home.
