Why Air Duct Cleaning Matters 

Homeowners often overlook how much dust and pollutants accumulate in air ducts. These particles circulate each time the HVAC runs, affecting air quality and comfort. Regular air duct cleaning helps maintain a healthier indoor environment. 

• Improves indoor air quality: Removes dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens from circulating in your home. 

• Reduces allergens and respiratory irritants: Reducing airborne contaminants helps alleviate allergy and asthma symptoms. 

• Eliminates musty odors: Mold, mildew, and bacteria buildup in ductwork can create unpleasant smells that spread throughout your home. 

• Enhances HVAC efficiency: Clean ducts allow for better airflow, reducing strain on your system and lowering energy consumption. 

• Prolongs your HVAC system’s life: Keeping ducts clean reduces wear and tear, helping your heating and cooling system last longer. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), professional duct cleaning is recommended every three to five years or more frequently for homes with pets, allergies, or high dust accumulation. 

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services 

Anderson offers a full range of HVAC duct cleaning services to improve indoor air quality and system performance. 

Residential Air Duct Cleaning 

Indoor air quality impacts your family’s health and comfort. Over time, dust, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores build up in your home’s ductwork, triggering allergies and respiratory issues. 

Our residential duct cleaning services remove contaminants, creating a healthier home. 

We use advanced equipment to: 

• Thoroughly clean your duct system 

• Eliminate built-up debris 

• Restore optimal airflow 

If needed, we also offer air duct sanitization to remove bacteria and mold, ensuring fresher, safer air in your home. 

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning 

Businesses depend on efficient HVAC systems to keep their spaces comfortable and productive. But over time, dust and debris build up in ductwork, leading to: 

• Poor air quality 

• Higher energy costs 

• Reduced HVAC efficiency 

Our commercial air duct cleaning services help business owners improve indoor air quality while cutting operational expenses. 

We serve a variety of commercial properties, including:

Our duct sanitization process eliminates harmful microorganisms, improving indoor air quality and providing peace of mind. 

Signs You Need Air Duct Cleaning 

Many homeowners and business owners are unaware of the signs indicating their air ducts need cleaning. If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to schedule a professional air duct cleaning: 

• Dust buildup on vents and surfaces: Excessive dust on furniture or around air vents can indicate dirty ducts. 

• Musty or stale odors: Unpleasant smells from your vents may be caused by mold, mildew, or bacteria buildup in the duct system. 

• Increased allergy symptoms: If household members experience frequent sneezing, congestion, or eye irritation, airborne allergens in the ductwork may be the cause. 

• Higher energy bills: When ducts are clogged with dust and debris, your HVAC system has to work harder to circulate air, leading to increased energy consumption. 

• Weak or uneven airflow: Ductwork blockage can restrict airflow, making certain rooms feel warmer or cooler than others. 

Ignoring these warning signs can worsen air quality and damage HVAC systems. Contact Anderson for a professional inspection if you experience any of these issues. 

HVAC Duct Repair & Replacement Services 

In addition to air duct cleaning, we provide duct repair and replacement services for homes and businesses experiencing severe duct issues. Over time, ductwork can develop leaks, damage, or suffer from improper sizing, impacting HVAC performance and energy efficiency. 

When to Repair vs. Replace Ductwork 

• Repair if your ducts have minor leaks, loose connections, or small areas of damage. Sealing and insulating ducts can often restore efficiency. 

• Replace if your ducts are severely deteriorated, contaminated with mold, or improperly sized for your HVAC system. 

Common Duct Issues 

• Leaky air ducts: Can lead to up to 30% energy loss, reducing HVAC efficiency and increasing utility costs. 

• Duct deterioration: Aging ductwork can collapse or become damaged, restricting airflow. 

• Mold and bacteria growth: Excess moisture in ducts can lead to mold contamination, affecting indoor air quality. 

• Incorrect duct sizing: Improperly sized ducts can cause uneven heating and cooling, forcing your HVAC system to work harder.
