Your energy bills drop because your system isn’t fighting through layers of dust and debris to push air. Studies show cleaned systems use 41% to 60% less fan energy while delivering more airflow.
Your employees stop dealing with stuffy air, lingering odors, and the constant dust that settles on desks overnight. Research shows a 60% reduction in airborne particles after professional duct cleaning.
Your HVAC equipment lasts longer because it’s not straining to compensate for restricted airflow. That means fewer emergency repair calls, less downtime, and you’re not replacing expensive equipment years earlier than you should. The data backs it up: properly maintained systems last 40% longer than neglected ones.
We’ve been improving indoor air quality in Pfafftown and the Greensboro area for over 30 years. We’re not new to this, and we’re not learning on your building.
We employ more NADCA-certified technicians than any company in the southeast. That certification matters because it means our team follows the industry’s highest standards for commercial ductwork cleaning, not just whatever seems good enough.
Pfafftown’s mix of office buildings, manufacturing facilities, and retail spaces means we’ve seen what happens when systems go years without proper cleaning. We know what your building is dealing with, and we know how to fix it without disrupting your operations.
We start with an inspection of your entire HVAC system to identify problem areas, assess debris buildup, and map out the most effective cleaning approach. You’ll know what we found and what needs attention before any work begins.
Our team uses powerful negative air pressure equipment that pulls contaminants out of your ductwork without releasing anything into your building. We’re not just pushing dust around or cutting into your ducts. The equipment creates a contained system that extracts debris directly into HEPA-filtered collection units.
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, and the air handling unit itself. Every access point gets addressed because partial cleaning just moves the problem around instead of solving it.
After cleaning, we provide documentation of the work completed. If you need records for compliance, inspections, or your own maintenance files, you’ll have them. We can schedule around your business hours, on weekends, or during shutdowns so the work doesn’t interrupt your operations.

You get a complete cleaning of your ventilation system, not just the easy-to-reach sections. That includes supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motors, and the air handling unit housing.
Pfafftown’s commercial buildings face specific challenges. Manufacturing facilities deal with industrial dust and particulates. Office buildings accumulate years of standard debris that restricts airflow. Retail spaces need to maintain comfortable environments for customers while managing high traffic and constant door openings that pull in outside contaminants.
We address what your specific building type needs. If you’re in healthcare or food service, compliance isn’t optional. If you’re managing an older office building, you’re likely dealing with decades of accumulated debris that’s killing your energy efficiency. If you run a manufacturing operation, your system is working against dust and particulates that standard HVAC filters weren’t designed to handle long-term.
The service includes pre-cleaning documentation, the full cleaning process using NADCA-approved methods, and post-service reporting. You’re not guessing whether the work was done right.
NADCA recommends commercial duct cleaning every two to three years for standard office environments. That timeline shifts based on what your building deals with daily.
Manufacturing facilities, medical offices, restaurants, and buildings with high occupancy need more frequent cleaning because they generate more contaminants. If your business involves chemicals, heavy dust, or processes that produce airborne particles, you’re looking at annual cleaning or even more often.
You’ll know it’s time when energy bills creep up without explanation, employees mention air quality issues, visible dust accumulates faster than normal, or you’re getting musty odors through the vents. Those aren’t minor annoyances. They’re signs your system is circulating contaminated air and working harder than it should.
Cleaning costs less than the consequences of not cleaning. A professional commercial duct cleaning is a one-time expense. Ignoring it costs you every single month through higher energy bills, more frequent HVAC repairs, and eventually early system replacement.
The U.S. Department of Energy states proper HVAC maintenance can cut energy costs by 20% to 30%. NADCA research shows up to 25% savings on annual maintenance costs after cleaning, with 21% fewer service calls. When you’re running a commercial building, those percentages represent real money.
Then there’s equipment lifespan. A clogged system runs longer cycles to reach temperature, wearing out components faster. You’re choosing between the cost of cleaning now or the cost of replacing a commercial HVAC system years before you should have to. The math isn’t complicated.
Professional commercial duct cleaning improves air quality when it’s done correctly with proper equipment. The key phrase is “done correctly.” This isn’t about shop vacs and brushes.
We use negative air pressure systems with HEPA filtration that create a contained extraction process. Contaminants get pulled out of your ductwork and captured in filtered collection units. Nothing gets released into your building during the process.
Journal of Environmental Health studies document a 60% reduction in airborne dust and allergens after professional cleaning. You’ll notice the difference in how the space feels, how much dust accumulates on surfaces, and whether employees are dealing with fewer respiratory irritations. If your cleaning company can’t explain their containment and filtration process, they’re not doing it right.
Debris buildup restricts airflow, forcing your HVAC system to run longer and work harder to move air through the building. It’s like breathing through a straw versus breathing normally. Your system is doing the same job with a fraction of the efficiency.
When airflow is restricted, your equipment runs extended cycles to reach the temperature you’ve set. Those longer run times mean higher energy consumption every single day. The blower motor works harder. The heating or cooling components stay active longer. Your utility bill reflects all of it.
Research shows intervention systems saved between 41% and 60% on fan energy after cleaning, with 10% to 46% more airflow compared to uncleaned systems. That’s not a small difference. Over a year, across a commercial building, restricted airflow from dirty ducts costs you thousands in unnecessary energy expenses.
Yes. We schedule commercial duct cleaning around your operations, not the other way around. Most businesses have us come in after hours, on weekends, or during planned facility shutdowns.
The actual cleaning process for a commercial building typically takes one to three days depending on system size and complexity. We can work in sections if you need certain areas operational while we’re cleaning others.
You’ll want to coordinate with us on timing because some areas may need temporary climate control adjustments during cleaning, but we’re not shutting down your entire operation for a week. We’ve cleaned ductwork in operating medical facilities, active manufacturing plants, and retail spaces that couldn’t afford to close. If you have scheduling constraints, we work with them.
Filters catch new contaminants. They don’t remove what’s already built up inside your ductwork over years of operation. You need both, not one instead of the other.
Standard HVAC filters capture particles as air passes through, but they don’t address the layers of dust, debris, and biological growth already coating the inside of your ducts. That existing contamination continues circulating through your building every time the system runs, and it continues restricting airflow regardless of how often you change filters.
Regular filter changes are basic maintenance. Duct cleaning is addressing accumulated contamination that filters were never designed to remove. If your building is more than a few years old and the ducts have never been professionally cleaned, changing filters is maintaining a dirty system. You’re still dealing with restricted airflow, reduced efficiency, and contaminated air recirculating through your space.
