Air Duct Cleaning Frequently Answered Questions – Minneapolis, St Paul, MN
- How often should I have a Duct Cleaning done?
Frequency of cleaning depends on several factors. Some of the things that may lead a home owner to consider more frequent cleaning include:
- Smokers living in the house
- Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander
- Residents with allergies or asthma to dusts, pollens, or pet dander
- Major home renovations or remodeling work done to the home
- How can we determine if the air duct cleaning was effective?
The best way to determine if the air duct system cleaning was effective is to perform a visual inspection before and after cleaning. If any dust or debris can be seen during the visual inspection, the system should not be considered cleaned. A well-cleaned air duct system will leave less dust on your home surfaces, including floors and furniture. If you have allergies, you should be able to breathe more easily after a thorough air duct cleaning
- Will there be any hidden costs?
The only cost not included is tax. The prices quoted on this website for Residential Cleaning are the cost before tax. When a service is requested, a written estimate is provided to show all prices in detail.
- Do you use tarps to cover the floors?
Yes, we use tarps for duct cleaning and with all fireplace chimney cleans.
- Do you take the registers off?
No. The air-wand that is used is about ½ inch round and there is no need to take off the registers. The volume of air used will be more than sufficient to clean the branch line and the register while it is on the wall.
- Do you cover the registers?
No, because it can cause damage to the registers and possibly the walls if paint overlaps onto the registers, or if they are painted.
