Question 1

How often do Houston ducts actually need cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Every three to five years covers most homes here, and the reason is the attic. Houston ductwork runs almost entirely through vented attics that hit 130–140°F in summer, with the AC cycling 7–9 months a year and often running around the clock in July and August. If you've had a remodel, a rodent problem, or standing water near the air handler, don't wait for the calendar.

Question 2

What happens during the job, and how long are you in my house?

Accepted Answer

We hook a negative-air machine to the trunk line, then work each supply and return with rotary brushes and compressed air so debris pulls toward the vacuum instead of into your rooms. The blower compartment, coil face, and plenum get cleaned too, since that's where the buildup sits. A typical single-system home runs two to four hours. Two systems, long attic runs, or a 1970s–80s suburban house with twenty-plus registers will push past that.

Question 3

Why do two homes on the same street get different numbers?

Accepted Answer

Register count and system count drive most of it. After that it's access: a 1920s bungalow inside the Loop with pier-and-beam closet-plenum runs is a different job than a master-planned two-story with a tight attic scuttle and ductwork buried under blown insulation. Water-damaged returns and plenums from Harvey or Ike add remediation work that straight cleaning doesn't cover. We look at the system in person, tell you what it needs, and give you the number in writing before anyone starts.

Question 4

Does the dryer vent get done with the ducts, or is that a separate call?

Accepted Answer

It's priced on its own, because it's a different line and a different tool. Most people add it while we're already there, which is cheaper than booking a second visit. Houston dryer vents clog fast when the air outside sits at a 70-something dew point for five months and the lint never fully dries out. Long runs from an interior laundry room to an exterior wall are the worst offenders.

Question 5

What if you find mold in there?

Accepted Answer

We stop and show you. On the upper Texas Gulf Coast, condensation on cold supply ducts in a 135°F attic is constant, so growth on insulation and plenum board is common, especially in systems that took water in 2001, 2008, or 2017. Light surface growth on hard duct surfaces we can clean and treat. Saturated flex duct or fiberglass liner isn't cleanable and needs replacement, and we'll say so rather than brush over it.

Question 6

Is there an upcharge for same-day service?

Accepted Answer

No. Same-day costs the same as a scheduled appointment. If you call early and we have a truck open, we'll get to you that day. We service Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard equipment, so there's no delay waiting on a specialist.
