You’ll notice the difference in air quality within the first few days. Dust settles slower. Allergies calm down. Your system runs quieter and reaches temperature faster.
Most Greensboro homes and businesses lose up to 40% of their HVAC airflow to leaks, clogs, and buildup. That’s wasted energy and wasted money every single month. When your ductwork is clean, your system doesn’t have to fight through layers of debris just to do its job.
The EPA ranks indoor air quality as one of the top five environmental health risks. Since the 1970s, buildings have been sealed tighter for energy efficiency, which means less fresh air and more recirculation of whatever’s already inside your ducts. If those ducts haven’t been cleaned in years, you’re breathing dust, pet dander, mold spores, and who knows what else on repeat.
Clean ducts mean your furnace and AC don’t work as hard. They last longer. They break down less. And your energy bills drop because the system isn’t running overtime just to push air through clogged passages.
We’ve been improving indoor air quality across Greensboro for over a decade. We’re NADCA members with certified technicians who know the difference between a surface clean and a real one.
Rick Watson holds ASCS and CVI certifications. Noah Watson is ASCS certified. We’re BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. We don’t do residential dryer vents because we focus on what we do best: commercial duct cleaning, residential HVAC duct cleaning, and full vent and ductwork cleaning for properties that need it done right.
Greensboro’s climate means your HVAC runs hard most of the year. Humidity, pollen, and seasonal temperature swings put extra strain on your system. Regular duct cleaning isn’t just maintenance—it’s protection for your investment and your health.
We start with a full inspection of your ductwork. That means looking for leaks, blockages, mold, and buildup you can’t see from the vents. We check the entire system, not just the easy-to-reach spots.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we use HEPA-filtered equipment and negative air pressure systems to pull debris out of your ducts. This isn’t a vacuum job. We’re removing years of dust, dirt, skin flakes, pet dander, and anything else that’s been circulating through your system.
For commercial properties, we work around your schedule. Nights, weekends, whatever keeps your operations running. For residential jobs, we protect your floors and furniture and clean up completely when we’re done.
If we find mold or heavy contamination, we treat it with safe, eco-friendly antimicrobial solutions. We don’t just move the problem around. We eliminate it.
After the cleaning, your system gets a final check. We make sure airflow is restored, everything’s sealed properly, and your HVAC is running the way it should.
Ready to get started?
You get a complete inspection, full ductwork cleaning, vent cleaning, and AC duct cleaning. We handle both commercial and residential properties across Greensboro and surrounding areas.
Commercial clients get flexible scheduling and minimal disruption. We’ve cleaned office buildings, retail spaces, medical facilities, and industrial properties. If you’ve got employees with allergies or work in an environment with pets, smoking, or heavy foot traffic, your ducts need attention more often than you think.
Residential clients get the same thorough process. We clean supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, and the air handler. If your home is over 10 years old and you’ve never had your ducts cleaned, you’re overdue. If you’ve done recent renovations, had water damage, or notice dust settling faster than it should, that’s a red flag.
Greensboro homes built in the last few decades are sealed tight for energy efficiency. That’s great for your utility bill, but terrible for air quality if your ducts are full of contaminants. We remove what’s been building up so your system can actually circulate clean air instead of recycling the same pollutants.
Residential properties typically need duct cleaning every two to four years. That timeline shortens if you have pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies or asthma.
Commercial properties often need more frequent cleanings depending on use. High-traffic businesses, medical facilities, restaurants, and offices with heavy equipment or smoking areas should consider annual cleanings. If your employees are complaining about stuffiness, dust, or allergies at work, your ducts are probably part of the problem.
Greensboro’s humidity and pollen levels also play a role. HVAC systems here run hard, and that means more contaminants get pulled into your ductwork. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned and your system is more than five years old, you’re breathing recycled dust and debris every single day.
Visible dust around vents is the most obvious sign. If you’re wiping down surfaces constantly and dust keeps coming back, your ducts are the source.
Other signs include inconsistent temperatures between rooms, higher energy bills without explanation, musty or stale odors when the system runs, and increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors. If your HVAC system is running longer to reach the set temperature, that’s a sign of restricted airflow from clogged ducts.
You might also notice debris blowing out of vents when the system kicks on, or dark streaks on walls near registers. That’s dust and contaminants being pushed through your ductwork. If you’ve had water damage, a rodent problem, or recent construction, your ducts almost certainly need attention. Mold, droppings, and drywall dust don’t just disappear—they circulate until someone removes them.
Yes, but only if your ducts are actually clogged. A clean system moves air more efficiently, which means your furnace and AC don’t have to run as long to heat or cool your space.
The average duct system loses up to 40% of airflow due to leaks, blockages, and buildup. That’s a massive waste of energy. When we remove the debris and restore proper airflow, your system works the way it was designed to. It reaches your target temperature faster and shuts off sooner.
How much you save depends on how bad the buildup was and how well your system was maintained otherwise. Some Greensboro clients see noticeable drops in their monthly bills within the first billing cycle. Others see smaller improvements but notice their system isn’t running constantly anymore. Either way, you’re getting better performance and less wear on expensive equipment.
Absolutely, especially if you bought new construction or had recent renovations. Drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris get sucked into ductwork during building and remodeling projects. That debris doesn’t just settle—it circulates every time your HVAC runs.
Newer homes are also built tighter for energy efficiency, which means less fresh air exchange. If your ducts are full of construction dust from day one, you’re starting off with compromised air quality. A professional cleaning removes that debris before it becomes a long-term problem.
Even if your home is only a few years old, pet dander, pollen, and regular dust accumulate faster than most people realize. Greensboro’s climate means your system runs year-round, pulling in contaminants constantly. Cleaning your ducts early protects your investment and keeps your indoor air quality high from the start.
Cheap cleanings usually involve running a vacuum through accessible sections of ductwork and calling it done. You might see some dust removed, but the bulk of the buildup stays put because they’re not using proper equipment or reaching the entire system.
Professional duct cleaning uses HEPA-filtered equipment, negative air pressure systems, and specialized tools to clean every section of your ductwork. We inspect the system first, identify problem areas, and remove debris from supply ducts, return ducts, registers, and the air handler. We also treat mold and contamination when necessary, not just push it around.
NADCA-certified technicians follow industry standards that cheap services ignore. We’re trained to spot leaks, blockages, and damage that affect your system’s performance. A proper cleaning takes time and the right equipment. If someone’s offering to clean your entire duct system in an hour for $99, they’re not doing the job. You’ll waste money and still have dirty ducts.
Yes. Contaminated ducts circulate dust, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens throughout your space. If anyone in your home or office has asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues, dirty ducts make symptoms worse.
The EPA consistently ranks indoor air quality as a top environmental health risk. Breathing contaminated air day after day can lead to chronic respiratory problems, increased allergy symptoms, and higher rates of illness. Businesses with poor indoor air quality also see increased absenteeism and lower productivity because employees feel worse at work.
Mold is a particular concern in Greensboro’s humid climate. If moisture gets into your ductwork and combines with dust and debris, mold grows and spreads through your ventilation system. You’re breathing those spores every time the HVAC runs. Professional duct cleaning removes the contaminants and treats mold growth so your indoor air is actually safe to breathe.
