Question 1

Is coil and blower cleaning included in a duct cleaning price?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, and this is one of the most important things to confirm in writing before booking. Many flat-rate residential prices cover ductwork and registers only, with the coil and blower quoted separately on site. Companies in this directory publish their standard-home definition specifically so you can tell which is which.

Question 2

How do I know if my blower wheel needs cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Reduced airflow at every register despite a clean filter, a system that runs noticeably longer to reach setpoint, and visible dust on the wheel fins when you shine a torch into the blower compartment. On systems where the filter has ever been run loose, missing or bypassed, assume the wheel is loaded.

Question 3

Can a technician damage a variable-speed blower motor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern ECM motors and their control modules are not tolerant of water intrusion or aggressive solvents, and replacement is a four-figure repair. This is a good reason to prefer companies with certified technicians and to ask directly how they protect the motor and board during the work.

Question 4

How often should this be done?

Accepted Answer

Far less often than filter changes and generally less often than people fear. Every five to ten years is typical for a well-filtered residential system. Systems in dusty environments, homes that have gone through renovation, or any system with a history of filter bypass will need it sooner.
