FAQ Page - What You Need to Know

To address your queries about our services, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and provided detailed answers to each one.

    Air Duct Cleaning

  • Is air duct cleaning necessary for new homes?

    Even in new homes, air duct cleaning may be necessary. Construction debris, such as drywall dust, sawdust, or insulation particles, can accumulate in the ductwork during the building process. Additionally, if the HVAC system was operated before the completion of construction, it might have accumulated dust and debris. Therefore, it’s advisable to consider air duct cleaning for new homes as well.

  • Will air duct cleaning reduce energy costs?

    Air duct cleaning can potentially contribute to energy savings. Removing dust and debris from the ducts helps improve airflow and allows the HVAC system to operate more efficiently. When the system runs efficiently, it doesn’t have to work as hard to heat or cool the space, resulting in potential energy savings.

  • Can I clean air ducts myself?

    While it’s possible to perform basic maintenance tasks like cleaning registers and grilles, professional air duct cleaning requires specialized equipment and expertise. DIY cleaning attempts without the proper tools and knowledge may lead to damage or inadequate cleaning. It’s generally recommended to hire a professional for thorough air duct cleaning.

  • How is air duct cleaning performed?

    Professional air duct cleaning typically involves a combination of methods. These may include using specialized brushes, high-powered vacuums, and compressed air to dislodge and remove debris from the ducts. The process also includes cleaning other components of the HVAC system, such as registers, grilles, and coils.

  • Can air duct cleaning improve allergies or respiratory issues?

    Air duct cleaning can potentially improve allergies or respiratory issues by reducing the presence of allergens and irritants in the air. However, it’s important to note that ac duct cleaning is just one aspect of addressing these issues. Consult with a medical professional to determine the best course of action for your specific circumstances.

  • How often should air duct cleaning be performed?

    The frequency of air duct cleaning depends on various factors, such as the location, lifestyle, and overall indoor air quality. It is generally recommended to have your air ducts professionally inspected and, if necessary, cleaned every 3–5 years.

    However, if you notice excessive dust buildup, mold growth, or experience respiratory issues, it may be necessary to clean them more frequently.

  • Why is air duct cleaning important?

    Air duct cleaning is important for several reasons. It helps remove accumulated dust, allergens, pet dander, and other pollutants from the ducts, improving the quality of the air you breathe. It also helps maintain the efficiency of your HVAC system, which can lead to energy savings and extended equipment lifespan.

  • What is air duct cleaning?

    Air duct cleaning is the process of removing dirt, debris, and contaminants from the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system’s ductwork to improve indoor air quality and ensure proper system functionality.

  • How can I request my free quote?

    ProGeneralService offers free in-home inspections so that there are no surprises when it comes time to pay for the air duct cleaning service – we want our customers to be informed about what needs to be done before any work is started! We also believe in providing quality work at a fair price.

    All of our services come with a 100%-satisfaction guarantee so that you can rest assured knowing your money was well spent.

  • What is a MERV rating? What is a HEPA filter?

    Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values, or MERVs, report a filter’s ability to capture larger particles between 0.3 and 10 microns (µm).

    This value is helpful in comparing the performance of different filters. The higher the MERV rating the better the filter is at trapping specific types of particles.

    HEPA is a type of pleated mechanical air filter. It is an acronym for “High Efficiency Particulate Air [filter]” (as officially defined by the U.S. Department of Energy). This type of air filter can theoretically remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any airborne particles with a size of 0.3 microns (µm). The diameter specification of 0.3 microns responds to the worst case – the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). Particles that are larger or smaller are trapped with even higher efficiency. Using the worst case particle size results in the worst case efficiency rating (i.e. 99.97% or better for all particle sizes).

    All air cleaners require periodic cleaning and filter replacement to function properly. We recommend changing air filters every 3-6 months.

  • How often should you have your ducts cleaned?

    The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends getting your air ducts cleaned every three to five years.

  • What are the costs for your ductwork cleaning services?

    Fill out the form or call (713) 489-8044 and a representative will assist you with any questions you may have about the services you require.

    The U.S. EPA says that “duct cleaning services typically – but not always – range in cost from $450 to $1000 per heating and cooling system, depending on the services offered, the size of the system to be cleaned, system accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination”.

    To estimate the cost of the service, you can use your air duct cleaning estimate calculator.

    Avoid advertisements for “$99 whole house specials” and other sales gimmicks. These companies often charge a nominal fee and do a poor job of cleaning of air ducts. These companies may also persuade the consumer into unneeded services, with and/or without their permission!

  • How long cleaning air ducts takes?

    From experience, it takes our expert technicians an average of three to six hours to effectively clean an air duct system.
    However, that is hugely dependent on the size of the HVAC system. Three to six hours should be enough to cover the supply side, return side, return drop, blower wheel, as well as the blower compartment.
    There may be cheaper service providers that may take less time to do the cleaning. However, the cleaning may not be thorough.
    At ProGeneralService, we take pride in the quality of our services rather than the speed. Our experienced team is very thorough to ensure client satisfaction.

  • How do I know my air ducts need cleaning?

    The obvious reason is that they do get very dirty, but there are other factors to consider when determining the need for regular air duct cleaning of your HVAC system:

    • Mold around air vents
    • Mold in air vents
    • Dust around air vents
    • Do you have any pets? (dogs, cats, etc…)
    • Do any of the occupants have allergies or asthma
    • Is there any cigarettes or cigar smoke in the home
    • Has there been any water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system
    • Any home renovations or remodeling projects
    • Suspect rodent/insect infestation

    Normally, you’ll begin to notice some signs when your air ducts are no longer working properly. You may smell a bad odor, but you may also see dust coming out of the system when the air flows, or just actually see the debris or mold. Uneven air flow may also indicate it’s time to call an air ducts cleaning company nearby.

  • Can carpet cleaning remove odors?

    Yes, carpet cleaning can help eliminate unpleasant odors. Professional cleaners often use specialized deodorizing treatments that target and neutralize odors trapped in the carpet fibers. However, the effectiveness of odor removal may depend on the source and severity of the odor. It’s best to discuss specific odor concerns with the cleaning company beforehand.

  • How can I maintain the cleanliness of my carpets between professional cleanings?

    To maintain the cleanliness of your carpets between professional cleanings, regular vacuuming is essential. Vacuum at least once a week, or more frequently in high-traffic areas. Promptly attend to spills and stains by blotting them with a clean cloth or paper towel. Using doormats, removing shoes indoors, and regular grooming of pets can also help minimize dirt and debris on carpets.

  • Can I clean my carpets myself?

    While it’s possible to perform DIY carpet cleaning using rental machines or home carpet cleaners, professional carpet cleaning typically yields better results. Professional cleaners have commercial-grade equipment, specialized knowledge, and experience to effectively remove deep-seated dirt and stains, ensuring a thorough and professional outcome.

  • How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?

    The drying time after carpet cleaning varies depending on several factors, such as the cleaning method used, carpet thickness, humidity levels, and airflow. In general, carpets can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day to dry completely. Proper ventilation and air circulation can help expedite the drying process.

  • Is professional carpet cleaning safe for children and pets?

    Professional carpet cleaning, is generally safe for children and pets. However, it’s advisable to keep them away from the cleaned area until the carpet is fully dry. Additionally, discuss any specific concerns or allergies you may have with the cleaning company.

  • Can carpet cleaning remove all stains?

    While professional carpet cleaning can effectively remove many types of stains, it may not be able to remove all stains completely. Some stubborn stains, such as those caused by dyes, bleach, or certain chemicals, may be more challenging to eliminate entirely. However, professional cleaners have specialized stain removal techniques and products to tackle even tough stains.

  • What methods are used for carpet cleaning?

    There are several methods of carpet cleaning, including steam cleaning (hot water extraction), dry cleaning, bonnet cleaning, and encapsulation. Each method has its advantages and is suitable for different types of carpets and specific cleaning needs. Professional carpet cleaners can recommend the most appropriate method for your carpets.

  • How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?

    The frequency of professional carpet cleaning depends on various factors, including foot traffic, pets, and individual circumstances. As a general guideline, it’s recommended to have carpets professionally cleaned at least once every 12 to 18 months. However, high-traffic areas or homes with pets or allergies may require more frequent cleaning.

  • Why is carpet cleaning important?

    Carpet cleaning is important for maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

  • Are the disinfectants you use safe for humans and pets?

    Absolutely! Our disinfectants are EPA-approved and safe for humans and pets once dry.

  • When to Choose Disinfection?

    Disinfection is the preferred choice when a higher level of germ eradication is necessary. It’s particularly important in areas where the risk of infection is greater. Examples include:

    Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices require thorough disinfection to prevent the spread of contagious illnesses.

    Public Spaces: Disinfection is essential in high-traffic areas like gyms, schools, and public transportation to reduce the risk of disease transmission.

  • When to Choose Sanitization?

    Sanitization is a suitable option when you want to reduce the number of germs to a level that is considered safe for everyday activities. It’s commonly used in environments where there is a lower risk of infection transmission. For instance:

    Food Preparation Areas: Kitchens, restaurants, and dining spaces can benefit from regular sanitization to ensure food safety.

    Household Surfaces: Sanitizing surfaces like countertops, cutting boards, and utensils can help prevent the spread of common bacteria.

  • Sanitization vs. Disinfection: Understanding the Difference

    In the realm of cleaning and hygiene, the terms “sanitization” and “disinfection” are often used interchangeably. However, they have distinct meanings and purposes. Let’s explore the difference between sanitization and disinfection to better understand their roles in creating a safe and hygienic environment:

    Sanitization
    Sanitization refers to the process of reducing the number of germs on surfaces to a safe level determined by public health standards. While it doesn’t necessarily eliminate all germs, it significantly lowers their presence, thus lowering the risk of infection. Sanitization is typically achieved through chemical agents or heat and is commonly used in food preparation areas, such as kitchens and restaurants. It’s important to note that sanitization is effective against specific types of bacteria, but may not be as effective against viruses.

    Disinfection
    Disinfection, on the other hand, goes a step further. It involves the use of chemicals to kill a broader spectrum of germs, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The goal of disinfection is to eliminate these harmful pathogens to prevent the spread of diseases. Disinfection is crucial in healthcare settings, where a higher level of germ control is required to ensure patient safety. It’s also recommended in areas where there is an increased risk of contamination, such as public restrooms and high-traffic spaces.

  • What Areas Do We Sanitize and Disinfect?

    Our sanitizing and disinfecting service covers a variety of spaces, including:

    Residential Spaces: Homes, apartments, condos, and other living areas.

    Commercial Establishments: Offices, retail stores, restaurants, and more.

    Public Spaces: Gyms, schools, healthcare facilities, and community centers.

    High-Touch Surfaces: We pay special attention to high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and electronic devices.

    Dryer Vent Cleaning

  • Are there any health benefits associated with dryer vent cleaning?

    Yes, there are health benefits associated with dryer vent cleaning. A clean and properly functioning dryer vent helps to improve indoor air quality by preventing the buildup of mold, mildew, and bacteria. When the vent is clogged, moisture can get trapped, creating an ideal environment for these harmful microorganisms to thrive. As a result, the air circulating in your home can become contaminated, leading to potential respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems.

  • How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost?

    The cost of professional dryer vent cleaning can vary depending on factors such as the length of the vent, the level of blockage, and your location.

    • First floor dryer vent cleaning costs $89 to $120.
    • Second floor dryer vent cleaning costs $120
    • Roof dryer duct cleaning costs $140 to $200.

    ProGeneralService offers special coupons.

  • What are the signs that indicate my dryer vent needs cleaning?

    There are several warning signs that suggest your dryer vent requires cleaning:

    • Clothes take longer than usual to dry, indicating reduced airflow.
    • The exterior of the dryer becomes unusually hot during operation.
    • Lint and debris accumulation around the dryer or vent opening.
  • How often should I clean my dryer vent?

    The frequency of dryer vent cleaning depends on various factors, including the usage of your dryer and the type of venting material. As a general guideline, it is recommended to clean the dryer vent at least once every year. However, if you have a larger household and use the dryer frequently, it might be necessary to clean it every six months.

  • What is dryer vent cleaning, and why is it essential?

    Dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance process that involves removing lint, debris, and dust from the dryer vent system. This vent system connects your dryer to the outside, allowing hot air and moisture to escape during the drying process. Over time, lint and debris can accumulate in the vent, leading to various issues such as reduced airflow, increased drying time, and even potential fire hazards.

  • How Can I Prevent Dryer Vent Clogs in the Future?

    Regular dryer vent maintenance is the key to preventing future clogs and ensuring optimal dryer performance. In addition to professional cleaning, we recommend the following tips:

    • Clean the lint filter after every load of laundry.
    • Inspect the vent hood outside the house periodically and remove any debris or obstructions.
    • Avoid overloading the dryer, as it can lead to increased lint buildup.
    • Schedule annual dryer vent cleaning to remove any accumulated debris and ensure proper airflow.
  • How Can I Schedule a Dryer Vent Cleaning?

    Scheduling a dryer vent cleaning with us is simple. You can reach out to us via phone, email, or our website’s contact form to request an appointment. Our friendly customer service team will assist you in selecting a convenient date and time for the cleaning. We strive to accommodate your schedule and address your needs promptly.

  • Can I Clean My Dryer Vent Myself?

    While there are DIY methods for cleaning dryer vents, professional dryer vent cleaning is recommended for several reasons. Our trained technicians have the expertise and specialized equipment to access and clean the entire vent system thoroughly. Additionally, DIY cleaning may not effectively remove all the debris and may even cause damage to the vent if not done correctly.

  • How Long Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Take?

    The duration of the dryer vent cleaning process may vary depending on the vent’s length, complexity, and the amount of accumulated debris. In general, the cleaning process typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour. Our experienced technicians work efficiently to minimize any inconvenience to you and ensure a thorough and effective cleaning.

    Fire Damage

  • Do you work with insurance companies?

    Yes, we have experience working with insurance companies to help streamline the restoration process and ensure a smooth experience for you.

  • Will the smell of smoke ever go away?

    Just because the smoke residue has been removed doesn’t mean your home will smell like it did before the fire. But the pros at ProGeneralService have the tools and techniques to permanently remove the smell of smoke from your home.

  • Do I really need a professional cleanup? Or can I repair the damage myself?

    Fire and smoke cleanup is not a do-it-yourself project. Even if your home did not sustain major structural damage, specific tools and techniques are necessary to remove smoke residue. If you make an oversight, a subsequent fire could start, and your insurance company might dispute your claim, arguing that your own negligence was a contributing factor.

  • Why is smoke residue just as dangerous as the flames of a fire?

    Smoke residue is just as dangerous as the flames of a fire. Smoke inhalation can cause respiratory problems, and the residue can also be toxic. This residue is actually unspent fuel and sets the foundation for a subsequent fire.

    Odor Removal

  • Can I use air fresheners instead of professional odor removal?

    Air fresheners may mask odors temporarily, but professional odor removal targets and eliminates the source of the odor for lasting results.

  • Will I need to vacate my property during odor removal?

    In most cases, you can remain in your property during odor removal. Our experts will provide guidance on any necessary precautions.

  • Can odor removal improve indoor air quality?

  • What types of odors can you remove?

  • How is ozone treatment different from air filtration?

    Air filters trap particles that are floating in the air onto a membrane as they are drawn into the filter. They normally do not have an impact on odors, but in some cases, certain gases can be trapped as well. An odor molecule must get passed through the membrane in order to be captured, so filters are unable to affect the source of the odors. Ozone generators on the other hand, send out O3 into the treatment area to oxidize and remove odors at their source.

  • How is ozone treatment different from deodorizers?

    Most deodorizers use a fragrance formulation to counteract odors combined with fragrances to help cover them up. The fragrances used in deodorization will normally leave some residue in the air and on surfaces. Some people find these fumes unpleasant, while those who are highly sensitive may have a reaction. Ozone, on the other hand, is designed to oxidize odors at their source. It usually dissipates less than an hour, leaving the air smelling fresh, with no residue. In fact, it will even eliminate the heavy smell that can linger from a deodorizer.

    Tile Installation

  • What is the Difference Between Wall and Floor Tiles?

    Wall tiles, because they are not intended to be load bearing, are typically thinner, lighter and softer than floor tiles. Wall tile glazes are not designed to handle the abrasive forces from foot traffic. Increasingly, floor tiles are being applied to walls and this is no problem so long as the walls are strong enough to support their weight and proper ceramic tile installation methods are used. However, it is not usual to recommend using wall tiles in floor applications.

  • What is the Difference Between Ceramic & Porcelain Tiles?

    Ceramic tiles have been around for over 2000 years. They typically have a white or red clay biscuit with some form of glaze on top. Porcelain tile cost more than ordinary ceramic tile because you are getting a superior product. Porcelain tile requires the finest natural ingredients and a rigidly controlled manufacturing process that utilizes the most advanced processes and technology. Porcelain tiles are made from an extremely finely powdered clay tablet that is pressed under enormous pressure and heat – several hundred degrees hotter than ceramics. Porcelain tiles are much harder and more dense than ceramic tiles.

  • How Many Tiles do I Need?

    Tiles are usually sold by the square feet, so the area to be tiled needs to be carefully measured to establish how many square feet are involved. This can be done by your tile contractor. Note that there is always a degree of waste resulting from the cuts required to achieve your tile layout. The contingency allowance for wastage is best estimated by your tile contractor, but is typically between 15%, depending on the tiles being used and the complexity of the particular design and layout.

  • Is Ceramic Tile Expensive?

    The cost of ceramic tile when installed by a professional is typically higher than many other floor coverings. However, because of its durability, it is also considered to be the least expensive in the long term. Occasionally, a tile may be cracked or broken, but the entire floor will never have to be replaced, except in rare cases. Most other types of floors, such as carpet and vinyl flooring, will eventually need to be replaced.
