You’ll notice the difference in your utility bills first. When dust and debris clog your system, your HVAC works overtime just to push air through. That burns energy you’re paying for every month.
Your employees will notice it too. Cleaner air means fewer sick days, less coughing and sneezing at desks, and people who can actually focus without fighting allergies all day. Indoor air can be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air, and your ductwork is usually the source.
Your equipment lasts longer when it’s not fighting buildup on every coil and surface. Less strain means fewer emergency repair calls and more years before you’re writing a check for a full system replacement. Clean ducts aren’t just about comfort—they’re about keeping your operation running without the constant interruptions that come from a system that’s working against itself.
We’ve been cleaning commercial ductwork across Sedalia, NC and the Greensboro area since the early 1990s. We’re NADCA certified, which means we follow the National Air Duct Cleaners Association standards—not just our own version of “clean enough.”
Our crew uses professional-grade equipment designed for commercial systems, not residential shortcuts. We’ve worked in offices, medical facilities, retail spaces, and industrial buildings throughout the area. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sedalia businesses deal with specific challenges—humidity that encourages mold growth, pollen seasons that coat everything, and older buildings with ductwork that hasn’t been touched in decades. We know what we’re walking into before we show up, and we bring what’s needed to handle it right the first time.
We start with an inspection of your entire HVAC system and ductwork. That means looking at the accessible sections, checking for mold, measuring buildup, and identifying any damage or leaks that need attention before we clean.
Then we seal off your vents and use negative pressure equipment to pull contaminants out of the system. We’re not just blowing dust around—we’re extracting it with HEPA-filtered vacuums while brushing and agitating every surface inside the ducts. This gets the caked-on debris that’s been sitting there for years.
After the cleaning, we treat the system if needed—mold inhibitors, sanitizers, or odor control depending on what we found during inspection. You’ll get a walkthrough of what we removed, what condition your system is in now, and what kind of maintenance schedule makes sense for your building. Most commercial spaces in Sedalia should be cleaned every two to three years, but high-traffic or sensitive environments like medical offices may need it more often.

Our commercial duct cleaning covers your entire air handling system—supply and return ducts, registers and grilles, heating and cooling coils, drip pans, fan motors, and the air handling unit housing. We’re not skipping the parts that are hard to reach.
You’ll also get before-and-after documentation. We take photos of the worst sections so you can see exactly what was living in your ductwork, and we provide a written report of the system’s condition. That’s useful if you’re dealing with tenant complaints, preparing for inspections, or just need records for your facility maintenance logs.
Sedalia’s climate means your system is fighting humidity and outdoor allergens year-round. Buildings near agricultural areas or with older HVAC systems tend to accumulate more dust and organic material. We adjust our approach based on what your building is dealing with—not just what the manual says. If your system has mold growth or pest contamination, we’ll address that specifically instead of pretending a standard cleaning will fix it.
NADCA recommends every three to five years for most commercial buildings, but that’s a baseline. Your actual schedule depends on your industry, foot traffic, and what’s happening inside your space.
Medical offices, restaurants, and manufacturing facilities usually need cleaning every two to three years because of higher contamination levels. Standard office buildings can often go three to five years if the HVAC system is well-maintained and there aren’t ongoing air quality complaints.
If you’re seeing dust accumulation on surfaces shortly after cleaning, smelling musty odors from the vents, or dealing with employee health complaints, don’t wait for the schedule. Those are signs your system needs attention now, not next year.
Yes, but the savings depend on how dirty your system is right now. If your ducts are clogged with debris, your HVAC is working significantly harder to move air through the building. That’s wasted energy you’re paying for every month.
Clean ductwork improves airflow, which means your system doesn’t have to run as long or work as hard to reach the temperature you’ve set. The EPA estimates that cleaning and maintaining your HVAC system can improve efficiency enough to reduce energy costs, especially in older systems that haven’t been serviced in years.
You’ll see the biggest impact if your system is currently struggling—longer run times, uneven temperatures between rooms, or higher bills during peak heating and cooling months. The return on investment usually shows up within the first year, and the efficiency gains continue as long as you keep up with regular maintenance.
NADCA certification means we’re following the industry’s established standards for commercial air duct cleaning, not making up our own process. That includes using specific equipment, following safety protocols, and actually cleaning the entire system—not just the easy-to-reach parts.
A lot of companies will run a vacuum through your vents and call it done. NADCA standards require us to clean the supply and return sides, all registers and grilles, the heating and cooling coils, the blower motor, and the air handling unit itself. We’re also required to use HEPA-filtered equipment so we’re not just redistributing contaminants.
You’re also getting technicians who’ve been trained and tested on proper cleaning methods. Our crew knows how to identify mold, handle contaminated systems safely, and avoid damaging your ductwork during the cleaning process. That’s not a given with every company offering duct cleaning services.
Most commercial jobs take four to eight hours depending on the size of your building and the condition of your ductwork. Larger facilities or systems with heavy contamination can take a full day or require us to come back for a second session.
We can work around your schedule. A lot of Sedalia businesses have us come in after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting operations. You’ll need to shut down the HVAC system while we’re working, but we’re not tearing apart your building or blocking off entire sections for days.
The noise level is noticeable—our equipment isn’t silent—but it’s not louder than typical construction or maintenance work. If you’ve got areas that absolutely can’t be disturbed during business hours, let us know upfront and we’ll plan the work accordingly.
If the odor is coming from your HVAC system, yes. Musty smells usually mean mold or mildew growth somewhere in the ductwork. Stale or chemical odors can be trapped contaminants that recirculate every time the system runs.
We’ll identify the source during the inspection. If it’s organic buildup, mold, or debris, cleaning and treating the system will eliminate it. If you’ve had pest issues—rodents or birds getting into the ducts—we’ll remove the contamination and let you know if you need pest control to seal entry points.
Some odors aren’t duct-related. If the smell is coming from the building itself—carpet, walls, or other sources—duct cleaning won’t fix that. But if your employees are complaining about smells that get worse when the HVAC kicks on, your ductwork is almost certainly part of the problem and cleaning it will make a noticeable difference.
Yes. Mold in ductwork is common in Sedalia because of the humidity, and it’s not something you can ignore. We’ll assess the extent of the growth during inspection and determine whether it’s surface mold that can be cleaned or a deeper contamination issue that needs remediation.
For most cases, we clean the affected areas and apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to kill remaining spores and prevent regrowth. If the mold growth is extensive or has damaged the ductwork itself, we’ll recommend whether sections need to be replaced.
Mold doesn’t just smell bad—it’s a health risk, especially in commercial buildings where people are spending 40-plus hours a week breathing that air. If you’re seeing visible mold around vents or your employees are reporting respiratory issues, get it inspected sooner rather than later. The longer it sits, the worse it gets and the more expensive it becomes to fix properly.
