Frequently Asked Questions about Air Duct Cleaning

What results can I expect from getting my air duct system cleaned?

You can expect significantly less dust in the indoor environment, better HVAC system efficiency. This, in turn, causes lower utility bills, prolonged furnace life, and a healthier environment. Although we cannot guarantee health benefits such as relief from allergy symptoms, less coughing & sneezing, and improved breathing, our service often produces this result. We have more in-depth information as well about the benefits of a clean air duct system.

How much does air duct cleaning cost?

Prices vary depending on the number of duct runs and return air openings, and sometimes how the system is laid out. It is very easy to find out how much the system you are concerned about costs by calling ENVIRO-AIR at (417) 832-9980. We can give you a “ballpark” over the phone, and we provide local on-site estimates free of charge or obligation. On-site estimates are normally best for everyone and take very little time.

How long does the air duct cleaning service take?

This also varies by several factors such as the size and layout of the system, the type of equipment being used, and the number of technicians. A smaller system typically takes about half a day when two technicians are doing the work. This can also be better estimated on-site.

What kind of filter should I use and how often should I clean or replace it?

Filters can range in price from about a dollar to over $800.00. Of course, they also range widely in efficiency. When considering the best filtering system for your particular needs, you should consider three things in addition to cost: dust-stopping efficiency, maintenance requirements, and the potential for airflow restriction. Talk to ENVIRO-AIR for a straight answer and honest opinion about your particular situation. Again, in-home estimates are free and best for accurate estimates.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

For residential systems, NADCA recommends inspecting the air handling unit annually and the ductwork every two years. A person’s sensitivity to airborne particulate and/or cleanliness, and/or desire to keep the system operating efficiently will help determine whether they should clean the system more or less frequently.

What can I expect?

On the day of your appointment, two licensed, bonded and insured technicians will arrive to complete your residential air duct cleaning work. To ensure safety and peace of mind, we complete background checks and drug tests on all of our employees. Although we know jobs don’t necessarily require two technicians to complete the work, we’ve found our team can function more efficiently with two sets of hands. A typical three-bedroom, single-system ranch style home, measuring 2,000 square feet or less, generally takes them half a day to complete. Understand, we’ll invest the time it takes to do a thorough job.

Some of our competitors bring a shop vac to do the work of an industrial duct cleaner. Other companies can take three times longer to get the job done. Our equipment is powerful and has 56 times more vacuum power than many in the duct cleaning business. We’re miles ahead of the rest and use the most up-to-date equipment. Our hoses are industrial-sized, at eight to ten inches in width.

From top to bottom, ENVIRO-AIR employs painstaking attention to detail every time it completes the residential dryer vent cleaning Springfield MO trusts.  Each critical component of your HVAC system receives expert care. This includes ceiling returns, furnace ductwork, crawl space supplies, floor registers, and more.

We run sweep equipment down each duct. An air compressor powered pneumatic whip, combined with the strongest vacuum suction around, demolishes the dust and debris in your ducts and sends it directly into our containment vessels. ENVIRO-AIR never forgets the main trunk line under the house either. We won’t leave until our task is complete, the worksite is tidied and we’ve confirmed your HVAC system is cycling properly.

Get peace of mind knowing our technicians undergo ongoing training. They must attend numerous conferences and maintain continuing education credits throughout their careers to ensure expert performance. ENVIRO-AIR is NADCA certified and technicians have a precise set of standards, procedures, and checklists in place to guarantee exceptional work. Attention to detail and high expectations make ENVIRO-AIR stand out from less invested companies.
