Q: Are HVAC dampers necessary?

• <div><p>You do need dampers in your HVAC system, but they do help to regulate airflow and give you better control of the temperature in each room of your home.

Q: How do I know if my ducts need to be sealed?

• <div><p>There are a few things that you can look out for that indicate that you need duct sealing, but the two most critical ones are less comfortable air in your living space and increased utility bills.

Keep in mind that related cleanings and repairs in your HVAC system will add to this total and may require two visits.</p></div>

Q: Does air duct cleaning make a mess in the house?

• <div><p>In some cases, duct cleaning may make a mess in your house. For example, if there&rsquo;s a significant buildup of dirt and debris inside your ducts, it can come out of your vents and spread around your home during a cleaning.
