Your energy bill drops because your system isn’t fighting through layers of dust and debris just to push air. Most homes see a 15-20% reduction in HVAC energy use once the ductwork is actually clean.
The morning allergies stop. No more waking up with gritty eyes or that scratchy throat that clears up once you leave the house. When your ducts are clogged with dust, pet dander, and mold spores, every time your system kicks on, it’s pumping that stuff straight into the rooms where you sleep and eat.
Your HVAC system lasts longer because it’s not straining against blockages. Dirty ductwork forces your equipment to work harder, run hotter, and break down sooner. Clean ducts mean less wear, fewer repairs, and years added to your system’s life.
We’ve been serving Swepsonville and the greater Greensboro area since the early ’90s. We’ve seen what happens when ductwork goes uncleaned for decades, and we’ve helped hundreds of local families fix it.
We don’t just clean ducts. We also handle crawl space encapsulation and moisture control, which matters here because North Carolina’s humidity creates the perfect environment for mold growth in both crawl spaces and ductwork. Fixing one without addressing the other doesn’t solve the problem.
Most of our work comes from referrals. That’s what happens when you show up on time, do the job right, and don’t upsell people on things they don’t need.
We start with an inspection. Before we touch anything, we look at your entire system—supply lines, return vents, the main trunk lines. We’re checking for mold, excessive dust buildup, debris, and any signs of leaks or damage that would undermine the cleaning.
Then we seal off your vents and use negative pressure equipment to pull contaminants out of the ductwork. This isn’t a vacuum you rent from the hardware store. It’s industrial-grade equipment designed to remove years of accumulated dust, allergens, and debris without spreading it into your living space.
We clean the registers, grilles, and diffusers by hand. These are the parts you see every day, and they collect a surprising amount of grime. We also address the blower motor and evaporator coil if needed, since dirty coils kill efficiency just as fast as dirty ducts.
After everything’s cleaned, we do a final walkthrough and show you the difference. You’ll see it in the vents. You’ll feel it in the airflow. And within a few weeks, you’ll notice it on your energy bill.

Every air duct cleaning includes a full system inspection, cleaning of all supply and return ducts, and removal of dust, allergens, mold, and debris from your ductwork. We clean the registers and grilles, address the blower assembly, and check for any issues that could affect your indoor air quality or system performance.
Swepsonville sits in an area where seasonal pollen, humidity, and older home construction create specific challenges. Many homes here were built before modern duct sealing standards, which means leaks are common. We’ll point those out during the inspection so you know what’s affecting your system efficiency.
We also handle commercial duct cleaning for offices, retail spaces, and small facilities. Commercial systems run longer hours and accumulate contaminants faster, especially in environments with heavy foot traffic or manufacturing processes. A clean HVAC system in a commercial building means fewer employee sick days and lower operating costs.
One thing we don’t do: residential dryer vents. We focus exclusively on HVAC ductwork and crawl space services because that’s where we can make the biggest impact on your indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
Most homes benefit from duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but it depends on your specific situation. If you have pets, you’re probably closer to the 3-year mark because pet dander builds up fast. Same goes if anyone in your household has allergies or respiratory issues—you’ll notice the difference sooner when ducts are clean.
If you’ve recently completed a renovation, get your ducts cleaned right away. Construction dust gets everywhere, and your HVAC system pulls it straight into the ductwork. Even if contractors were careful, drywall dust and sawdust end up circulating through your home until someone removes it.
You should also consider cleaning after any water damage or if you’ve noticed mold anywhere in your home. North Carolina’s humidity makes mold growth a real risk, and once it’s in your ducts, it spreads every time your system runs.
Yes, but the savings depend on how dirty your ducts were to start with. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that up to 40% of HVAC energy gets wasted when ducts are clogged with dust and debris. Clean ducts improve airflow, which means your system doesn’t have to run as long or work as hard to reach your target temperature.
Most customers see a 15-20% reduction in energy costs after a thorough cleaning. That might not sound huge, but over a year, it adds up. And if your system was really struggling before, the difference can be even more dramatic.
The other benefit is fewer repairs. When your HVAC system isn’t fighting against blockages, it runs cooler and experiences less wear on the blower motor and other components. That means fewer emergency service calls and a longer lifespan for your equipment.
Look at your vents. If you see visible dust buildup around the registers or notice dust puffing out when your system kicks on, that’s a clear sign. Pull off a vent cover and shine a flashlight inside—if you see layers of dust or debris, it’s time.
Pay attention to how your family feels at home. If allergies are worse indoors than outdoors, or if people are waking up congested and feeling better once they leave the house, your ducts are likely circulating allergens and irritants. Persistent musty odors are another red flag, especially in humid areas like Swepsonville where mold can take hold quickly.
Check your energy bills. If your heating and cooling costs have crept up without a corresponding rate increase or change in usage, dirty ductwork could be forcing your system to work harder. An HVAC system that’s constantly running but barely keeping up is often dealing with restricted airflow from clogged ducts.
Duct cleaning removes mold that’s already growing in your ductwork, but it won’t solve a mold problem if you don’t address the source of moisture. Mold needs three things: organic material, the right temperature, and moisture. Your ducts provide the first two, and North Carolina’s humidity often provides the third.
If we find mold during the inspection, we’ll remove it as part of the cleaning process. But if there’s a leak in your ductwork, a moisture issue in your crawl space, or condensation forming on your AC coils, the mold will come back unless those problems get fixed.
That’s why we also offer crawl space encapsulation. Many homes in this area have moisture issues that start in the crawl space and migrate into the ductwork. Sealing and dehumidifying the crawl space stops the cycle and keeps your ducts—and your indoor air—clean for the long term.
Commercial systems are bigger, more complex, and run longer hours, which means they accumulate contaminants faster. A commercial HVAC system in a retail space or office might run 12-16 hours a day, compared to a residential system that cycles on and off based on thermostat settings.
Commercial duct cleaning also involves coordinating around business hours. We can work evenings or weekends to avoid disrupting your operations, and we plan the job in phases if needed so you’re never without climate control during business hours.
The stakes are higher in commercial spaces because poor indoor air quality affects employee health and productivity. Studies show that businesses with clean HVAC systems see 35% fewer sick days. For a small office, that’s the difference between hitting deadlines and falling behind because half your team is out with respiratory issues.
Most residential jobs take 3-5 hours depending on the size of your home and the condition of your ductwork. A small ranch-style home with relatively clean ducts might be closer to 3 hours. A larger two-story home with years of buildup could take the full 5 hours or slightly more.
Commercial jobs vary widely based on square footage and system complexity. A small office might take half a day. A larger facility with multiple HVAC zones could require a full day or be split across multiple visits.
We’ll give you a time estimate after the initial inspection, and we don’t rush the job. Cutting corners means leaving contaminants behind, which defeats the purpose. You’re paying for a thorough cleaning, and that’s what you’ll get—even if it takes a little longer than expected.
