Air Duct Cleaning in Southlake, TX

Keeping Air Duct Clean and Families Healthy

Controlling the temperature in your home or business is your HVAC system’s primary purpose, but an important side benefit is air filtration. Indoor air quality is more important than you may realize. Many people assume the air in their home is free from the high concentration of pollutants that are found outside.

While that may be true for some types of pollutants, like smog, it might not be true for others. There are certain types of indoor air pollutants, like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria or viruses, that may be present in high concentrations in your home.

Your HVAC system plays an important role in filtering harmful pollutants and allergens from the air, but it’s performance can be compromised by dirty ducts. Ducts can collect dust, dirt and grime just like any other part of your home. Unfortunately, ducts are out of the way, hard to reach and difficult for the average person to clean.

If you’re worried your ducts are contributing to less-than-ideal indoor air quality, it’s likely time to call Tom’s Mechanical for air duct cleaning. We’re happy to help families in Southlake and throughout Denton County with fast, reliable duct cleaning. Let our professionals ensure your family is breathing the cleanest air possible.

What Does Duct Cleaning Entail? 

There are several steps that should be taken during the duct cleaning process. Professional duct cleaners need special equipment and proper training to do the job right and ensure ducts truly get cleaned. Failure to properly clean ducts can make the entire investment a waste of time and resources.

Some of what our duct cleaners can do include:

• Inspect your ductwork with special cameras
• Use special tools to dislodge debris and dirt in ducts and loosen dust
• Use powerful vacuums to thoroughly clean out your entire duct system
• Once ducts are cleaned, we can utilize a highly effective, EPA-approved anti-microbial germicidal spray to completely sanitize the inside of your ductwork
• Clean each individual register
• Apply a commercial-grade mold and mildew inhibitor (upon request)
• Apply a fresh duct odor eliminator inside your ductwork (upon request)

Not all these technologies and methods may be needed for every duct cleaning job, but we strive to provide comprehensive services and meet the needs of each customer.

Why Are Duct Leaks a Problem?

You spend a lot of money heating and cooling the air that’s circulated through your ductwork. Duct leaks mean a lot of that temperature-controlled air is escaping into crawlspaces, attics and other places where it does no good. Eliminating duct leaks is one of the best ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency and save you money on your heating and cooling costs.

Our duct leak detectors will look for problems with pressurization in your home and places where dirt, dust and other indoor air pollutants can enter your ductwork. We’ll carefully analyze your ducts to identify problems and implement solutions.

How Can I Tell That I Need Duct Cleaning?

Duct cleaning is not necessarily a service you should need on an annual basis. Many people schedule duct cleaning as a one-off service due to specific circumstances or symptoms of dirty ductwork. You may want to consider hiring Tom’s Mechanical for duct cleaning in Southlake if your home is experiencing one or more of the following:

• Your air filters seem to be getting dirty more quickly than usual
• You’ve noticed an increase in your energy bills
• There was recently a rodent infestation in your ducts
• Members of your household are struggling with asthma or allergies
• There are unusual odors coming from your ductwork
• Recent renovations in your home resulted in a lot of dust (like wood floor refinishing)
• Your home recently had mold issues or mold remediation services

Should You Invest in Duct Cleaning?

Certain households may benefit from duct cleaning more than others. Whether it’s a worthwhile investment for your home depends on whether there was a recent issue that necessitates thorough duct cleaning.

Do you have a pet that sheds a lot? You might benefit from duct cleaning. Are there unexplained or bad odors in your home whenever your air conditioner or heater runs? You should probably invest in duct cleaning. Does a member of your family suffer from seasonal allergies or a dust allergy? Duct cleaning can be hugely beneficial for their health and comfort.

Duct cleaning is also a worthwhile investment if you’re doing a deep clean on your home or you’ve recently had a large project performed. Big renovations like kitchen remodels or floor replacement can result in your entire home being coated with dust. If a recent remodeling or renovation project generated a lot of dust in your home, you will likely benefit from one-off air duct cleaning.
