Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst, TX

Protecting Your Family Against Unhealthy, Clogged Air Ducts

In addition to maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home or business, your HVAC system is also responsible for filtering air. The quality of air inside your home is very important to your family’s health. Unfortunately, there may be more pollutants and allergens cycling through your system’s air ducts than you realize.

Indoor air pollutants such as bacteria, viruses or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be found in high concentrations throughout your home.

One of the roles of an HVAC system is to maintain safe and healthy indoor air quality for you and your entire household. However, dirty or clogged air ducts can compromise your system’s performance and impact its ability to filter harmful pollutants from the air.

Cleaning your air ducts is tedious and laborious work and should typically be done by a professional with the proper equipment and training. Many Hurst-area homes and businesses call Tom’s Mechanical anytime they are worried about the condition of their air ducts. We provide fast, detailed duct cleaning to help you feel safe and comfortable in your own home — breathing air that is as clean and free from dangerous pollutants as possible.

What Does a Typical Duct Cleaning Appointment Look Like?

Duct cleaning is an HVAC process performed by a trained professional who understands the necessary steps required in order to clean the air ducts effectively. If the ducts are not cleaned correctly, all the time, effort and money spent is wasted.

At Tom’s Mechanical, our duct cleaners follow a standard procedure and perform cleaning techniques that include:

• Inspecting all ductwork with the help of special cameras and technology
• Loosening and dislodging any dirt or debris by utilizing specialized tools and equipment
• Deep cleaning the entire duct system using strong, powerful commercial-grade vacuums
• Applying EPA-approved anti-microbial germicidal spray designed to sanitize the inside of the ductwork
• Cleaning each individual register
• Upon request, applying a commercial-grade mold and mildew inhibitor and odor eliminator inside the ducts

The specific services you’ll need typically depends on the state and condition of the ductwork or any issues your household is experiencing (like recent mold). Our technicians will always provide a thorough and comprehensive duct cleaning service based on your particular needs.

Do Air Ducts Leak and Why?

While not every household’s ductwork will experience leaks, it is more common than you might think. If a duct leaks, it usually means that the temperature-controlled air you are spending money on is escaping into spaces where it’s not needed (like attics, crawlspaces and more).

If you have a duct leak, hiring an HVAC team is the best solution for eliminating the leak, reducing your home’s energy usage and saving you money on your annual heating and cooling expenses. Our duct leak detectors at Tom’s Mechanical are trained to locate pressurization issues in your home and identify areas where indoor air pollutants may be entering your ducts. Not only that, but we will suggest and implement solutions quickly.

How Do You Know if You Need Your Ductwork Professionally Cleaned?

The good news is that duct cleaning is not a professional service that you will typically need on a yearly basis. For most homeowners in Hurst, it tends to be a one-off service to resolve any present symptoms of dirty ductwork.

If you are experiencing one or more of the following issues below, it may be time to give Tom’s Mechanical a call and schedule your duct cleaning appointment:

• You smell unusual odors coming from your ducts
• Your air filters are getting dirtier much faster
• You recently discovered mold in your home or hired a mold remediation specialist
• You or a member of your household is experiencing symptoms of asthma or allergies
• Home renovations (like refinishing wood flooring) resulted in large amounts of dust
• Your utility bills have increased for no apparent reason
• You had a recent pest infestation in your ductwork

Is Duct Cleaning Really a Worthwhile Investment?

Realistically, duct cleaning is not an investment that makes sense for every household all the time.

Situations that might justify duct cleaning often include households with pets who shed a lot, family members with asthma or seasonal allergies and recent remodels or renovations that stir up a lot of dust and debris.

Duct cleaning can be a smart investment under the right circumstances. A member of the Tom’s Mechanical team can help determine if your home would be a good candidate for duct cleaning.
