General Air Duct Cleaning Questions
Is air duct cleaning worth it?
It depends on your home, and a company that says yes to everyone without looking first isn't being straight with you. We inspect before recommending anything, and customers often mention that we told them which services they needed and which they could skip. When ducts are dirty, cleaning pays off in less dust, stronger airflow, and fewer allergens circulating every time the AC runs.
What are the signs my air ducts need cleaning?
- Dust building up on registers, or puffing out when the system starts
- Musty or stale smells when the AC or heat turns on
- Allergies that flare at home and ease when you leave
- Several years since the last cleaning, or no record of one
- Visible mold near vents (call for an inspection right away)
- Recent renovation or construction dust in the home
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
Most homes do well with a cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Pets, allergies, a smoker in the house, or recent renovation all point toward the shorter end. Las Vegas dust and long cooling seasons shorten the timeline too, while changing air filters on schedule helps keep ducts clean longer.
Do you clean commercial buildings?
Yes. We've cleaned offices, restaurants, medical practices, private schools, and government buildings. See our commercial air duct cleaning page for details.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Aliante, Boulder City, and Enterprise.
Air Duct Cleaning Process Questions
What happens during an air duct cleaning?
We start by inspecting your HVAC system and ductwork, attic included, and taking "before" photos. After protecting the work areas, we connect our truck-mounted negative air system, which puts your ducts under strong suction so loosened dust goes out of your home and into the truck. Compressed air then works through the return ducts, the air handler and evaporator coil, and finally the supply ducts.
How long does an appointment take?
Most homes take a few hours. Larger homes, heavily loaded systems, and commercial buildings take longer, and we'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
How will I know the job was done right?
We take before-and-after photos of your system and walk you through what we found and what we cleaned before we leave.
What products do you use in my home?
Non-toxic, no-VOC products, finished with a plant-based deodorizer made for HVAC systems. Read more about our eco-friendly approach.

Licensing & Certification FAQs
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Eco Home Heroes is fully licensed and insured.
What does NADCA certification mean?
NADCA-certified companies agree to clean to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association's industry standard and must employ at least one Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS). That credential is earned by passing NADCA's exam and kept through continuing education. We have an ASCS on staff.
What about QUADCA?
QUADCA certification is a second industry credential we hold, adding another layer of accountability for how we clean.
Why does certification matter when choosing a company?
Anyone can buy a vacuum and advertise duct cleaning, and cut-rate "whole house" specials are a common bait-and-switch in this industry. Certification gives you a standard to hold a company to before they touch your system.
Related Services FAQs
Do you clean dryer vents?
Yes. We clean from both ends and test the dryer afterward. If loads are taking longer to dry, lint buildup is the likely cause, and it's a fire risk. More on our dryer vent cleaning page.
Can you replace my air filters on a schedule?
We offer bi-monthly, quarterly, or one-time filter replacements, so you never have to remember.

frequently asked questions
What Homeowners Ask Most
Find answers to some of the most common questions about our home services.
Do I have to leave my house?
Not at all -we work around you and your home. We typically start upstairs or on one side of the home and move throughout the home in a circle. So you can easily stay in one area, then change places once we complete an area of your home.
How noisy is air duct cleaning?
What’s unique about us is we use a truck mounted negative air system for our air duct cleaning service. So majority of the noise is outside your home, allowing you to work from home. It’s also a lot less stressful on pets and kids.
How often should my filters be changed?
This largely depends on the activity within your property, how often your Heat or AC is running, and what quality of filters you use. Most air filters need changing every 30-90 days. We also encourage using washable air filters allowing you to have clean filters as often as you want creating less trash.
