Air duct Cleaning in Downtown Murphy Done Right the First Time

Dust settles within hours of cleaning

If you wipe a shelf in the morning and see a film by dinner, the dust is coming from the ductwork, not the air. The system is pulling debris off the duct walls and distributing it through every register. This is the most common reason we get called in Downtown Murphy, and it usually means the ducts have not been cleaned in over five years.

Musty smell when the AC kicks on

A musty odor that appears only when the system runs points to mold growth inside the ductwork or on the evaporator coil. In North Texas, indoor humidity above 60 percent is enough to feed mold on a wet coil. This one is urgent, because the system is distributing mold spores every time it runs.

Visible dust plume from a register

If you can see dust blowing out of a vent when the system starts, the duct run feeding that register is loaded. This is common in the flexible branch runs in the Civic Center Area, where pet dander and dust mat down on the duct walls. Cleaning the run usually solves it in one visit.

Allergy symptoms that worsen indoors

If your allergies are worse inside than outside, the ductwork is a likely source. Pollen, pet dander, and dust mite waste collect in the ducts and get recirculated every time the system runs. Air duct cleaning for allergies is the first step, followed by a HEPA filter upgrade.

Higher energy bills with no other change

A dirty evaporator coil and blower wheel cut airflow, which makes the system run longer to hit the same temperature. In a Texas summer, that can add 10 to 15 percent to your cooling cost. If your bill jumped and nothing else changed, the air handler is worth inspecting.
