Question 1

How often do Phoenix ducts actually need cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Most Phoenix homes land somewhere in the three-to-five year range, and the reason is dust, not mold. Fine Sonoran Desert silt works its way in through attic penetrations year-round, then monsoon haboobs from July through September push a season's worth in at once. If you've remodeled, bought the house recently, or you're seeing grit on the registers a week after wiping them, move it up.

Question 2

What happens during the appointment, and how long are you here?

Accepted Answer

We seal off the supply and return openings, hook a negative-air machine to the trunk, then drive rotating brushes and compressed-air whips through each branch so the debris travels toward the vacuum instead of into your living room. On a single-story stucco ranch with attic flex duct, plan on two to four hours. Two-story tract homes on the valley fringe with two systems and long runs take longer, and midtown slump-block houses with original sheet metal trunks or under-slab runs take more hand work at each boot.

Question 3

What moves the number up or down on a job like this?

Accepted Answer

Duct count is the biggest factor. A 1950s burnt-adobe ranch with eight or nine registers is a different job than a 2,800 square foot two-story with two zones. Access matters too: attic flex duct in a Phoenix summer attic is slower and harder on crews than a rooftop gas-pack with short exterior drops, and original under-slab runs in central and midtown need careful hand cleaning rather than a straight brush pass. We look at the system, count the openings, and give you a written number before anyone unpacks a hose. The estimate costs nothing.

Question 4

Is the dryer vent part of the duct job?

Accepted Answer

It's priced separately, because it's a separate system with its own equipment. We'll usually do it the same visit if you ask when we arrive. Worth doing in slab-on-grade homes where the dryer run goes up and across the attic, since lint collects at every elbow.

Question 5

What if you find mold in my system?

Accepted Answer

We show you where it is and photograph it before we touch anything. Light surface growth on a coil pan or a damp boot gets cleaned and treated with an EPA-registered antimicrobial rated for HVAC use. Heavy growth through porous flex duct means replacement, not cleaning, and we'll tell you that plainly instead of selling you a fogging service that won't fix it. In Phoenix the usual cause is a condensate problem on the air handler, so we check that on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and American Standard equipment while we're in there.

Question 6

Is there a surcharge for booking same-day?

Accepted Answer

No. A job we run this afternoon is billed exactly like one booked three weeks out. From March through October the schedule fills early because everyone's system is running six to eight months straight, so call in the morning if you want a same-day slot.
