Air Doctor—Frequently Asked Questions
1. What services does Air Doctor offer?
Air Doctor provides professional indoor air quality and ventilation cleaning services for both homes and businesses. The services include air duct cleaning, air duct sealing, dryer vent cleaning, dryer vent installation, dryer appliance cleaning, and exhaust fan cleaning. Air Doctor also provide specialized commercial cleaning services for large facilities like offices, hospitals, and multi-unit buildings.
These services help improve indoor air quality, support HVAC efficiency, and maintain safer ventilation systems.
2. Why is air duct cleaning important for my home or business?
Air ducts circulate the air you breathe every day. Over time, dust, debris, and contaminants can build up inside your HVAC system. Professional cleaning helps remove these pollutants, improve airflow, and support better system performance.
Cleaner air ducts can also help extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and may reduce energy costs by allowing the system to operate more efficiently.
3. How often should air ducts be cleaned?
The ideal cleaning schedule depends on your environment, building usage, and indoor air conditions. Many homeowners consider cleaning after construction, moving into a new property, or when noticing excessive dust or air quality concerns. Businesses with high occupancy or specialized environments may require more frequent service to maintain healthy air conditions.
4. What happens during an air duct cleaning service?
During an air duct cleaning appointment, trained technicians use specialized equipment to remove dust, debris, and contaminants from your ventilation system. The process targets buildup inside ducts, vents, and HVAC components to restore cleaner airflow throughout your property.
The goal is a thorough cleaning that improves air circulation and system efficiency.
5. What is air duct sealing, and why would I need it?
Air duct sealing closes leaks or gaps in your ductwork that can cause energy loss and reduced HVAC performance. Sealing helps your system distribute air more efficiently, improve comfort, and reduce wasted energy.
It’s often recommended if your system struggles to maintain consistent temperatures or has airflow issues.
6. Why should dryer vents be cleaned regularly?
Dryer vents collect lint and debris over time. This buildup can restrict airflow, reduce dryer efficiency, and increase the risk of a dryer fire. Professional dryer vent cleaning removes these obstructions and helps your dryer operate safely and effectively.
Annual cleaning is commonly recommended, especially if you notice longer drying times or excess lint.
7. What are the signs that my dryer vent needs cleaning?
Common warning signs include:
- Clothes taking longer to dry
- Excess heat in the laundry area
- Visible lint buildup
- Burning odors while drying
- Reduced dryer performance
If you notice these issues, a professional inspection may help prevent larger problems.
8. Does Air Doctor offer dryer vent installation services?
Yes. In addition to cleaning services, Air Doctor installs dryer vent systems designed to support safe and efficient airflow. Proper installation helps improve drying performance while reducing potential fire hazards.
9. What is exhaust fan cleaning, and why does it matter?
Exhaust fans remove moisture, odors, and contaminants from indoor spaces. When dust and debris accumulate inside these systems, performance decreases. Professional exhaust fan cleaning helps restore proper airflow and improves overall indoor air quality.
10. Do you provide commercial air duct and vent cleaning?
Yes. Air Doctor provides commercial air duct and dryer vent cleaning for businesses and large facilities, including offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, and multi-unit housing. These services help create healthier environments for employees, customers, and occupants while supporting efficient system operation.
11. How does professional duct cleaning improve indoor air quality?
Cleaning removes contaminants like dust, debris, and pollutants that circulate through your ventilation system. By reducing these particles, indoor air can feel fresher and healthier, especially for individuals sensitive to environmental irritants.
