You’ll notice the difference in how your system runs. Less dust settling on furniture. Fewer allergy flare-ups when the heat or AC kicks on. Your HVAC won’t have to work as hard to push air through clogged ductwork, which means it uses less energy and costs you less each month.
When debris builds up in your ducts, it doesn’t just sit there. It gets blown into every room. Mold spores, pet dander, pollen, even pest droppings – all circulating through your home. Professional ductwork cleaning pulls that contamination out at the source.
Your system also lasts longer when it’s not fighting against blockages. Clean ducts mean better airflow, more even temperatures, and fewer repair calls. You’re not just cleaning vents. You’re protecting your investment and your health.
We’ve been cleaning HVAC systems and crawl spaces in the Greensboro area since the early 1990s. Rick Watson and Noah Watson are NADCA certified, which means we follow the national standards for air duct cleaning – not just a quick vacuum job.
Walkertown sits in an area where humidity, seasonal pollen, and occasional heavy rains create the perfect conditions for mold and allergen buildup. We’ve seen what happens when ducts go years without proper cleaning, and we know what it takes to fix it right.
You’re not getting a national franchise or a crew that just showed up in town. You’re working with people who understand local homes, local systems, and what actually works in this climate.
We start with an inspection of your system. That means looking at your ductwork, checking for mold or excessive debris, and identifying any problem areas. You’ll know what we’re dealing with before we start.
Then we use commercial-grade equipment to remove contaminants from your ducts. This isn’t a shop vac. We’re talking about high-powered vacuums and rotary brushes designed to pull out years of buildup without damaging your ductwork. Every vent gets cleaned, not just the easy-to-reach ones.
We also clean your HVAC components – the blower, coils, and registers. Dust doesn’t just collect in the ducts. It builds up on the parts that move air through your home. If we don’t clean those, you’re only solving half the problem.
After the cleaning, we do a final walkthrough so you can see the work that was done. You’ll get straight answers about what we found, what we removed, and whether there are any other issues you should know about.

Your service covers the full HVAC system – supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, and the air handler components. We’re not skipping the hard-to-reach sections or charging extra to finish the job.
For commercial duct cleaning, we handle larger systems with multiple zones and higher contamination levels. Restaurants, offices, and retail spaces deal with grease, dust, and higher air volume. That requires different equipment and more detailed planning. We schedule around your business hours and work in sections if needed.
In Walkertown and the surrounding Forsyth County area, we also see a lot of homes with crawl space issues that affect indoor air quality. If your ducts are clean but your crawl space has mold or moisture problems, you’re still pulling contaminated air into your system. We offer crawl space encapsulation and cleaning as part of a complete indoor air quality solution.
Energy-efficient homes with clean ductwork can see utility bills drop by over 20%. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s what the data shows when systems aren’t fighting against blockages. You’re paying for the service once, but the savings add up over time.
Most homes benefit from duct cleaning every three to five years. That timeline changes if you have pets, allergies, recent renovations, or if someone in your home smokes. Construction dust, pet dander, and tobacco residue all accelerate buildup.
If you’re noticing more dust than usual, musty smells when the system runs, or allergy symptoms that won’t go away, don’t wait. Those are signs your ducts need attention now. New homeowners should also consider cleaning – you don’t know when it was last done or what the previous owner left behind.
Walkertown’s humidity and seasonal pollen make it easier for mold and allergens to take hold in ductwork. If your system hasn’t been cleaned in over five years, you’re likely circulating more than just air.
Vent cleaning usually means wiping down the visible registers and grilles. It’s surface-level work that doesn’t address what’s inside your ductwork. Full duct cleaning goes into the system – the supply ducts, return ducts, and HVAC components where contamination actually builds up.
Some companies advertise cheap vent cleaning to get in the door, then upsell you on the real work. That’s not how we operate. When we clean your ducts, we’re cleaning the entire system, not just what you can see from the hallway.
If you only clean the vents, you’re leaving mold, dust, and allergens in the ducts. The next time your system runs, it blows that contamination right back into your home. Real results require real cleaning.
Yes, but the impact depends on how clogged your system is. When ducts are packed with debris, your HVAC has to work harder to move air. That means longer run times and higher energy use. Clean ducts restore airflow, which reduces the load on your system.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25-40% of heating and cooling energy is wasted through dirty or leaking ductwork. Even a partial improvement in airflow can lower your monthly costs. Buildings with regularly cleaned ductwork report up to 22% lower utility bills.
You won’t see results overnight, but over the course of a season, the difference adds up. You’re also extending the life of your HVAC system by reducing wear and tear. Fewer repairs and a longer replacement timeline both save money.
We can remove visible mold growth from your ductwork and HVAC components during the cleaning process. If mold is present, we also identify the moisture source – because mold doesn’t grow without water. Fixing the humidity or leak problem is just as important as removing the mold itself.
In some cases, mold remediation requires more than duct cleaning. If the contamination is severe or has spread to insulation or drywall, you may need additional services. We’ll tell you exactly what you’re dealing with after the inspection.
Walkertown’s climate creates conditions where mold can thrive in crawl spaces and ductwork. If your ducts have mold, there’s a good chance your crawl space does too. We handle both, which means you’re not calling multiple companies to solve one problem.
Most residential duct cleaning jobs take between two and four hours. The timeline depends on the size of your home, how many vents you have, and how much buildup we’re removing. Larger homes or systems that haven’t been cleaned in years will take longer.
Commercial duct cleaning varies more widely. A small office might take half a day. A restaurant with a complex HVAC system and grease buildup could take a full day or more. We’ll give you a time estimate after the initial inspection.
We don’t rush the job to hit a time target. If your system needs more attention, we take the time to do it right. You’ll know upfront how long we expect to be there, and we’ll update you if anything changes.
You don’t have to be home the entire time, but we do need access to your HVAC system and all the vents in your home. Some homeowners prefer to be there for the walkthrough at the beginning and end. Others leave after we get started and come back when we’re finishing up.
If you’re not going to be home, just make sure we can get inside and that pets are secured. Our equipment is loud, and we’ll be moving through different rooms to access vents. A little heads-up about your system’s quirks or any areas of concern also helps us work more efficiently.
We treat your home with respect. Drop cloths go down in work areas, and we clean up before we leave. You shouldn’t have to do anything after we’re gone except enjoy cleaner air.
