Cedar Hill FAQ

Does duct sealing improve energy bills?+

It can meaningfully, since ductwork leaks mean conditioned air is escaping before it reaches your rooms. How much varies by how leaky the ducts actually are, which is why an inspection matters more than a general estimate.

How often should ductwork actually be cleaned?+

There's no universal fixed schedule, it depends on the home, whether anyone has allergies or respiratory sensitivities, pets, recent renovation work, and how the system has been maintained. It's worth an honest assessment rather than a blanket recommendation on a fixed timeline.
