Kacey and Ryan did a fantastic job. The routing of the air ducts in the attic was great and left me a lot of room for storage. Everything was explained on the operation of the unit. They cleaned everything up every day they worked and it looks and works great!

"After having a new washer/dryer delivered yesterday, decided to have the dryer vent cleaned before hooking it up. I called Green Vent Cleaning to discuss project…. Not only did Randall call me back within an hour but he showed up at my house and got the job done the very same day! He went way above and beyond cleaning the vent and hooking up a difficult dryer hose. I’m just blown away by his promptness, professionalism and respect of my property.

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend leaving the house during a duct cleaning, especially if you have small kids or pets. The process is noisy and disruptive, and the house will be filled with specialized equipment. The technicians may also require seamless access to different areas of the home. Talk to your pros and ask them if you should take a short walk around the neighborhood while they work.

If one room is significantly colder than the others, closing the air vents in the warmer rooms may seem like a way to redirect airflow. However, closing air vents is usually not a good idea. When the vents are blocked, your HVAC system will have to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potentially shortening the life of the system.

It depends on what’s causing the problem. For instance, your air vents might make noise if you have a dirty air filter. If so, the solution is simple: Replace your filter. In other cases, it could indicate an issue with your ductwork, refrigerant lines, or electrical system. If you’re unsure, it’s best to hire an HVAC professional to check it out.

Failing to follow an air duct cleaning schedule can allow dust, allergens, and contaminants to accumulate. This can lead to poor indoor air quality and potential respiratory problems or allergies for occupants. Mold and mildew can develop in the ducts, posing serious health risks and creating unpleasant odors. Debris buildup can also restrict airflow, causing the HVAC system to work harder and reduce its efficiency.

If you notice increased energy bills, poor airflow, or frequent HVAC system issues, a professional assessment is advisable. Technicians can identify duct leaks or inefficiencies that require updating or maintenance.
