FAQs

Yes, especially in a climate like ours. Spokane winters run the furnace for months at a stretch, and wildfire smoke in late summer pulls fine ash and particulate into the system. Both settle in the ductwork and get redistributed through the house every time the blower runs. [

Furnace and AC often share the same ductwork, so cleaning one side without the other leaves debris to get pulled right back through when you switch seasons. If your system runs both heating and cooling through the same ducts, a full pass covers it in one visit instead of two.

Price depends on the size of your home, the number of vents, and how much buildup is in the system. We give a written price before any work starts, not a rough guess over the phone.

Dust and moisture together create the conditions mold needs. A duct system that stays damp, often from a leaky seal or high humidity, is more likely to grow mold than one that runs dry. If you smell something musty when the system kicks on, that is worth a look rather than ignoring.

A slow-drying dryer is one of the clearest signs of a clogged dryer vent. Lint builds up along the vent line over time and restricts airflow, which forces the dryer to run longer and work harder than it should. It is also a fire risk, so it is worth addressing sooner rather than later.

Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service from air duct cleaning since it is a different line with different buildup, but we offer both and can typically handle them together in one appointment.

Duct cleaning focuses on the supply and return lines. A full HVAC system cleaning goes further and covers the registers and accessible system components as well, not just the ductwork itself. If you are not sure which one your home needs, tell us what you are noticing and we will point you to the right service.
