You notice the difference in how your home feels. The air smells fresher, not stale or musty. Your family stops waking up congested or dealing with allergy flare-ups that seem worse indoors than outside.
Your HVAC system runs quieter and cycles less often because airflow isn’t fighting through layers of debris. That means lower energy bills—not by pennies, but by enough that you’ll see it month over month.
If someone in your house has asthma or respiratory issues, clean ductwork removes the irritants that make symptoms worse. You’re not just moving air around anymore—you’re moving clean air. And if you’ve dealt with mold or moisture problems in your crawl space or basement, cleaning your ducts is part of making sure those contaminants don’t keep circulating through your living space.
We’ve been working in Greensboro and the surrounding Triad area for over 30 years. We’re not new to North Carolina’s humidity, seasonal pollen loads, or the way homes here trap moisture and allergens.
Our team includes NADCA-certified technicians—Rick Watson and Noah Watson both hold ASCS certifications. That means we follow national standards for duct cleaning, not just our own version of what “clean” looks like.
We’ve seen what happens when ductwork goes untouched for years in this climate. Summerfield homes deal with the same challenges as the rest of the region: high humidity that encourages mold growth, pollen that coats everything from spring through fall, and tightly sealed construction that traps it all inside. We know how to address it.
We start with an inspection of your HVAC system and ductwork to identify problem areas—places where debris has built up, where moisture might be present, or where mold is starting to grow. You’ll know what we find before we start cleaning.
Then we use industrial-grade equipment to remove contaminants from your ducts. We’re talking about negative air machines that pull debris out while preventing it from spreading into your home, along with rotary brushes and compressed air tools that dislodge buildup from duct walls. This isn’t a vacuum and a hope—it’s a controlled process.
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the blower motor. If your coils are clogged or your blower wheel is caked with dust, we address that too, because dirty components kill efficiency and shorten your system’s life.
After cleaning, we’ll walk you through what we removed and what your system looks like now. If there are underlying issues—like leaks, poor insulation, or ventilation problems—we’ll tell you. You’ll have the information you need to make decisions about your home.

Our air duct cleaning service covers your entire HVAC system—not just the easy-to-reach vents. We clean supply and return ducts, all registers and grilles, the blower motor and housing, and evaporator coils if they’re accessible. Every component that touches your air gets attention.
In Summerfield and the Triad, humidity is a constant factor. Homes here average around 70% humidity year-round, which creates perfect conditions for mold to grow in ductwork and crawl spaces. We’re trained to spot moisture issues and mold growth during inspections, and we can address contamination that goes beyond dust and pollen.
We also handle commercial duct cleaning for offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit properties. Commercial systems accumulate debris faster due to higher usage and foot traffic, and poor indoor air quality affects employee health and productivity. The process is similar to residential work but scaled for larger systems and tighter timelines.
One thing we don’t do: residential dryer vents. Our focus is on HVAC ductwork, crawl spaces, and indoor air quality systems. If you need dryer vent cleaning, we’re not the right call—but for everything else related to the air you’re breathing at home or work, we’ve got it covered.
Most homes benefit from duct cleaning every three to five years, but that’s not a hard rule. If you’ve had recent water damage, mold growth, a major renovation, or you’re noticing more dust than usual, you should get them cleaned sooner.
North Carolina’s humidity accelerates how quickly ducts accumulate moisture and biological growth. If your home has had crawl space moisture issues or you’ve seen mold in other areas, your ducts are likely affected too.
Homes with pets, smokers, or family members with allergies or asthma should consider more frequent cleaning. You’re not just maintaining your HVAC system—you’re managing the air quality that directly impacts health. If you’re unsure, we can inspect your system and give you a straight answer about whether cleaning is necessary now or if you can wait.
Yes, but the savings depend on how dirty your system is. When ducts are clogged with debris, your HVAC system has to work harder to push air through. That means longer run times and higher energy consumption.
Clean ducts restore proper airflow, which lets your system heat or cool your home more efficiently. You’ll see your HVAC unit cycle less frequently because it’s not struggling against restrictions. Over time, that adds up to lower utility bills—and it extends the life of your equipment because it’s not accumulating extra operating hours.
Dirty blower motors, clogged coils, and restricted ductwork are some of the biggest efficiency killers in HVAC systems. Cleaning removes those restrictions. You won’t see a 50% drop in your bill, but you will notice a difference, especially during peak heating and cooling months when your system runs the most.
It can make a significant difference, especially if your symptoms are worse indoors than outside. Ducts collect allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores. Every time your system runs, it recirculates those irritants through your home.
Cleaning removes the buildup so you’re not constantly breathing in the same contaminants. For people with asthma or respiratory conditions, reducing exposure to these triggers often leads to fewer symptoms and better overall comfort.
That said, duct cleaning isn’t a cure-all. If you have ongoing moisture problems, poor ventilation, or other sources of indoor air pollution, those need to be addressed too. But removing pounds of dust and allergens from your ductwork is a solid step toward improving indoor air quality. We’ve had customers tell us they sleep better and wake up less congested after having their ducts cleaned—especially in homes that hadn’t been serviced in years.
There are a few clear signs. If you see visible dust or debris blowing out of your vents when the system runs, that’s a red flag. If your home smells musty or stale even after cleaning, the odor is likely coming from your ductwork.
Another indicator is uneven heating or cooling—some rooms stay uncomfortable no matter how much you adjust the thermostat. That often points to airflow restrictions caused by buildup in the ducts.
If you’ve had water damage, a roof leak, flooding, or high humidity in your crawl space or basement, your ducts are at risk for mold growth. And if you haven’t had your ducts cleaned in over five years—or ever—it’s worth getting an inspection. We can look inside your system and show you exactly what’s there. You’ll know whether cleaning is necessary or if your ducts are still in good shape.
A cheap duct cleaning usually means someone shows up with a shop vac, hits the main trunk lines, and calls it done in an hour. You might see some dust get pulled out, but the registers, return ducts, blower components, and coils are left untouched.
A real cleaning follows NADCA standards. That means using negative air pressure to contain debris, rotary brushes or compressed air whips to scrub duct walls, and cleaning every part of the system—not just what’s easy to reach.
The equipment matters too. Professional-grade machines create enough suction to pull debris out without spreading it into your home. Cheap services don’t have that equipment, so they’re limited in what they can actually remove. You’ll also get an inspection before and after, so you can see what was in your ducts and what they look like now. If a company won’t show you the results or explain their process, that’s a sign you’re not getting a thorough job.
Yes. Commercial duct cleaning is a big part of what we do. Office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-unit properties all have HVAC systems that need regular maintenance, and ductwork is often overlooked until air quality becomes a problem.
Commercial systems handle higher volumes of air and accumulate debris faster than residential systems. Poor indoor air quality in a workplace affects employee health, comfort, and productivity—and it can lead to complaints or even liability issues if conditions get bad enough.
We work with property managers and business owners to schedule cleanings during off-hours or low-traffic times to minimize disruption. The process is similar to residential work but scaled for larger systems and more complex layouts. We’ll inspect your system, clean all accessible ductwork and components, and provide documentation of the work for your records. If your building hasn’t had duct cleaning in years—or ever—it’s worth getting it done.
