You’re not just clearing out dust. You’re eliminating the stuff that makes your family sneeze, triggers asthma attacks, and forces your heating and cooling system to run longer than it should.
When your ducts are clean, your HVAC system moves air the way it was designed to. That means fewer hot and cold spots in your home, lower monthly utility bills, and less wear on expensive equipment. Your system isn’t fighting through layers of buildup just to do its job.
And if anyone in your house deals with allergies or respiratory issues, this matters even more. Dust mites, pet dander, mold spores—they all circulate through dirty ductwork. Professional duct cleaning removes what you can’t see but definitely feel.
We’ve been cleaning HVAC systems and crawl spaces in the Greensboro area for over 30 years. We’re not new to this, and we’re not learning on your property.
North Carolina homes deal with humidity, pollen, and seasonal allergens that build up fast in ductwork. We’ve seen what happens when systems go years without proper cleaning—and we know exactly how to fix it. Our team uses commercial-grade equipment designed for thorough vent cleaning and ductwork cleaning, not the kind of surface-level work that leaves half the problem behind.
You’ll work with technicians who’ve done this hundreds of times and understand what Belews Creek homeowners are up against.
We start with an inspection. Before we touch anything, we look at your system to understand what we’re dealing with—how much buildup there is, whether there’s mold or moisture issues, and what type of ductwork you have.
Then we seal off your vents and use high-powered vacuum equipment to create negative pressure in the system. This pulls contaminants out while we use rotary brushes and compressed air tools to dislodge debris from the duct walls. Everything gets pulled into a containment system, not blown around your house.
We also clean the HVAC components—blower motor, evaporator coil, drip pans. These areas collect moisture and dust, which turns into mold if left alone. After cleaning, we check airflow and make sure your system is running the way it should. You’ll notice the difference in air quality within a day or two.

You get a full system cleaning—not just the easy-to-reach sections. That includes supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor, and the air handling unit housing.
For commercial properties in Belews Creek, we handle larger systems that require specialized equipment and scheduling that doesn’t disrupt your operations. Restaurants, office buildings, retail spaces—they all have different needs, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
We don’t do residential dryer vents, but if your property has HVAC ductwork or a crawl space that’s affecting your air quality, we’ve got the tools and experience to handle it. North Carolina’s humidity makes mold growth a real issue in crawl spaces, which then impacts the air you’re breathing upstairs. We address that too—because clean ducts only go so far if the air entering your system is already contaminated.
Most homes benefit from professional duct cleaning every three to five years. That’s the general guideline, but your situation might be different.
If you’ve got pets, you’re probably dealing with more dander and hair in your system. If someone in your house has asthma or allergies, you’ll want to clean more often—maybe every two to three years. Same goes if you’ve recently done renovations. Drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris get pulled into your HVAC system and settle in the ductwork.
You’ll also want to schedule a cleaning if you’ve noticed a musty smell when your system runs, if there’s visible mold around vents, or if your energy bills have crept up without explanation. Those are signs that your system is working harder than it should because of blockages or buildup.
Changing your filter is maintenance. Duct cleaning is addressing what’s already built up inside the system over months or years.
Your filter catches some of what’s floating in the air, but it doesn’t stop everything. Dust, pollen, pet dander, and moisture still make it past and settle on duct walls, coils, and blower components. Over time, that buildup restricts airflow and creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
A clean filter helps your system run efficiently, but it won’t remove what’s already caked inside your ductwork. That’s where professional AC duct cleaning comes in. We’re pulling out the accumulated debris that your filter never had a chance to catch—and cleaning the parts of your HVAC system that a filter change doesn’t touch.
Yes, if your ducts are clogged enough to restrict airflow. When your system has to push air through layers of dust and debris, it runs longer to reach the temperature you’ve set on your thermostat.
Clean ductwork allows air to move freely, which means your HVAC system cycles less frequently and uses less energy. You’re not forcing your equipment to work overtime just to do what it’s supposed to do.
The savings depend on how dirty your system was to begin with. If it’s been five or ten years since your last cleaning, you’ll probably notice a difference in your utility bills within the first month or two. If your ducts were relatively clean, the impact will be smaller—but you’re still extending the life of your equipment and improving air quality, which has value beyond the monthly bill.
There are a few signs that are hard to miss. If you see dust blowing out of your vents when the system kicks on, that’s a clear one. If your home gets dusty quickly even after you’ve just cleaned, your ductwork is likely circulating particles.
Musty or stale odors when your HVAC runs are another red flag. That usually means mold or mildew has taken hold somewhere in the system. You might also notice that some rooms don’t heat or cool as well as others, which can happen when ducts are partially blocked.
If anyone in your house has started experiencing more allergy symptoms, headaches, or respiratory issues without an obvious cause, dirty ducts could be contributing. And if you’ve never had your ducts cleaned and you’ve lived in your home for more than five years, it’s worth getting an inspection. Most people are surprised by how much buildup is hiding in there.
It can remove mold that’s already growing in your ductwork, but it won’t fix the underlying moisture problem that caused it. Mold needs moisture to grow, so if you’ve got mold in your ducts, there’s a leak, condensation issue, or humidity problem that needs to be addressed.
We clean out the mold during the duct cleaning process, but if the moisture source isn’t fixed, it’ll come back. That’s especially common in North Carolina, where humidity levels create perfect conditions for mold growth in crawl spaces and HVAC systems.
If your crawl space is damp or poorly ventilated, that moisture gets pulled into your ductwork and circulates through your home. We handle both—duct cleaning and crawl space encapsulation—so you’re not just treating the symptom. You’re solving the problem at the source.
Cost depends on the size of your home, how much ductwork you have, and how dirty the system is. A typical residential job in Belews Creek usually falls somewhere between a few hundred and a thousand dollars, depending on those factors.
If your system hasn’t been cleaned in a decade and there’s significant buildup or mold, it’ll take more time and equipment to do it right. Commercial duct cleaning costs more because the systems are larger and more complex.
Be cautious of companies advertising extremely low prices—like $99 for a whole-house cleaning. That’s usually a bait-and-switch. They’ll show up, do a quick surface cleaning, and then try to upsell you on services you actually need. Real duct cleaning involves specialized equipment, trained technicians, and several hours of work. You’re paying for a thorough job that actually improves your air quality and system performance, not a quick vacuum job that leaves most of the problem untouched.
