We Sweat So You Don’t
True story: Florida attics are extremely hot and generally unpleasant to work in. The attic is where the HVAC ducts usually are. Which is why most AC companies try to spend as little time up there as possible. They rush the install or don’t even go up there!
Not us.
We embrace the fact that attics are part of our job and ductwork needs to be installed properly. Why?
Because the ducts are a crucial part of a right proper air conditioning system. They’re the veins that carry the precious lifeblood of cool air throughout your home. And they need to be the correct size, clean, and insulated to work right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my ducts need cleaning?
Some signs are mold growth inside or on your HVAC equipment and ducts. Musty odors like damp dog or stale wet socks. Increased sneezing, coughing, or other allergy symptoms. Reduced airflow. Higher energy bills.
Why is duct cleaning important?
Duct cleaning is important because the ducts are the lifeblood of your air conditioner. They transport that cooling goodness throughout your house. And when they’re clean, it improves air quality in your home, helps your system be more efficient, and makes your place an all-around happier home to be in.
How often should I clean my air ducts?
The recommended interval is every 3-5 years. However, there are a few things that might warrant cleaning your air ducts more often. For example, pets, smoking, or renovations can introduce more contaminants into the air. Or, if you notice any musty, moldy smells that could be an indication that your ducts need cleaning, even if it’s been less than 3 years.
What is duct sanitization?
Sanitization is an extra step above and beyond just cleaning your ducts. By applying special antimicrobial products all inside your home’s ductwork, we can eliminate or even prevent the growth of bacteria, viruses, mold, and other microorganisms.
Will duct cleaning improve my HVAC efficiency?
It can improve efficiency! When your ducts are clean and clear, it’s easier for air to move throughout your home. And if the air can move easy, then that means your blower motor doesn’t have to work as hard.
Does duct cleaning remove allergens?
Yes, it does. Over time, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens can build up in the ductwork. Having your ducts professionally cleaned can remove those allergens, making it easier to breathe while freshening the air in your home.
Can mold grow inside air ducts?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Especially in older or underperforming HVAC systems due to a lack of airflow, excessive humidity, and a buildup of dust and other organic material.
Can dirty ducts affect my energy bills?
Absolutely! When air ducts are dirty, they create more drag and resistance to the movement of air. Which means your blower motor has to work harder and use more energy. Thus increasing your electric bill.
Do you seal or repair ducts?
We absolutely do. We use state of the art computers and equipment that shows exactly how much air is leaking out of your ducts AND we can seal and repair those leaks on the same day we find them. Often with minimally invasive tools and techniques. So you can enjoy an even better performing AC system that cools quicker and saves you money.
