"Our ducts are all metal, fabricated for the house in 1950 with no insulation.  Several weeks before we were to have our heating/air system replaced I tried to determine if the ducts needed cleaning.  I used our house vac and extended the hose through a return register in one room for several feet.  The nozzle of the hose stopped up and I pulled the hose out.  The suction was holding a 15" long mass of accumulated dust/animal fur etc. in the hose end.  When Wooldridge H&A came to take out the old furnace, the Duct Duster crew arrived there at the same time.  By the time the Furnace guys had removed the furnace the DD guys had all of the registers off and equipment for cleaning the ducts in place.  I told them about my adventure vacuuming the wad of stuff out, they were not surprised.  They showed me that the ducts had never been opened for cleaning, as far as they could determine.  They explained thoroughly all of their  process before beginning.    I did not clock the amount of time they were here, but it was at least 3 hours.  Neat and professional.  <br />"

"The office staff, estimator (Cory) and installers (Kirk and Philip) were courteous and professional. The cost was reasonable. From first contact to completed installation spanned three days. The estimator provided us with accurate information and answered all of our questions. The installers were prompt and efficient in their work. They demonstrated the unit and answered additional questions. They took extra care to protect our home and clean up after the installation. We are very satisfied with our experience with Campbell Heating and Cooling and would highly recommend them."

"I received my radon results in a timely manner. I did not hire them specifically, (so, I cannot say I would hire them again) the local company contracted them for this service. The home inspector I hired, handled this service for me and included the results in his report."

"He arrived right on time and went right to work.  I had no illusions that the carpet could be cleaned to the point that it looked clean.  I was really surprised.  Andy vacuumed the rooms then pretreated all the stains.  <br /> Once the pretreatment was down he took a really great tool and within a few minutes the oil stain in my workshop started coming up.  He kept working at it until the stain was a memory. <br /> The same thing in the family room.  He pretreated lots of paint stains and with a little aggressive work all the paint came up.  <br /> I wasn't expecting much.  Both carpets were really old and are ready to be replaced.  His cleaning methods have given the carpet a couple more years and I'm happy. <br /> Andy was fast, friendly, polite and focused on the job.  I'd use the company again with no reservations <br />"

"The services performed by Mills Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. turned out really well. It was a good experience. He's a very nice and polite man. He should have caught that we needed freon because we had to call him back and he couldn't come back for a couple of days or so. We were having trouble with the air conditioning and it was hot. But he was fine and we would use him again. The guy who came was young. Maybe if an older man that's been there for 30 years probably would have caught that right away."

FAQs for air ducts & vents cleaning service projects in Amherst, VA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that air duct cleaning is not required unless visible issues such as mold buildup, rodent droppings, or excessive dust are present. When such conditions exist, cleaning becomes essential to protect indoor air quality and maintain HVAC efficiency. This approach minimizes potential health risks and extends the system’s life.

Air ducts must be cleaned every three to five years as required by NADCA to preserve system efficiency and indoor air quality. The EPA insists that cleaning is necessary only when significant issues such as mold, pest infestations, or heavy dust accumulation are evident. Annual inspections by a certified professional promptly address any emerging concerns.

The ideal seasons for air duct cleaning are spring and fall. Cleaning during these periods prepares your HVAC system for the demands of both winter heating and summer cooling. These seasons provide moderate weather conditions that enable efficient service completion while minimizing disruption, ensuring your system performs at its peak.

Professional air duct cleaning takes a fixed duration of two to five hours, depending on the home’s size and the complexity of the duct system. Smaller residences with standard ductwork complete the service in two hours, while larger homes with extensive ducts require up to five hours. Additional repairs may extend this duration.

To prepare for professional air duct cleaning, ensure all vents are unobstructed by moving nearby furniture and clearing pathways. Secure any pets in a safe area and confirm that your HVAC system units are easily accessible for technician inspection. Proper preparation contributes to a higher quality service outcome and prevents delays, allowing the cleaning process to proceed efficiently.
