Ductwork Installation, Repair or Servicing

Customer: “How often do I really need to get my ductwork cleaned? Is it something I need to worry about often?”

Mullen Tech: “That’s a great question! Generally, I’d recommend cleaning your ducts every 3 to 5 years. But if you’ve got pets, someone in the house with allergies, or even if you’ve noticed more dust than usual, you might want to do it sooner. Around here in West Virginia, things like pollen and our humid summers can really cause buildup in your ducts faster than you’d think. If you ever have any further questions feel free to give us a call!“

Customer: “I’ve noticed a few rooms don’t seem to stay warm or cool—could that mean my ductwork is leaking?”

Mullen Tech: “It sure could! Uneven temperatures are a big sign, along with higher-than-normal energy bills or weak airflow from your vents. If you’re seeing dust build-up more quickly than usual, that can be another clue. If you schedule service online I can head that way and check it out for you and let you know if sealing or repairs could fix the problem.”

Customer: “Our ductwork is pretty old—could it be making the system less efficient?”

Mullen Tech: “Definitely. Older ductwork or poorly designed systems can force your HVAC to work a lot harder, which means higher bills and uneven temperatures in your home. Insulation issues, blockages, or leaks are often the culprits. When ready, give us a call! I could come out and take a look, and maybe even recommend some upgrades or fixes that’ll make a big difference.”
