Question 1

How does New London's coastal location affect indoor air quality?

Accepted Answer

New London sits directly on the Thames River and Long Island Sound, exposing homes to salt air, elevated humidity, and marine particulates year-round. These conditions can accelerate contamination inside your ductwork, promote mold growth, and cause premature wear on HVAC components. Homes closer to the waterfront or in Groton Long Point and Ocean Beach areas tend to be affected more significantly. Regular duct cleaning removes these coastal contaminants and helps protect your HVAC investment.

Question 2

Do you serve Groton, Mystic, and other nearby towns?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we serve all of southeastern Connecticut including Groton, Mystic, Waterford, Norwich, and Montville. Our technicians are experienced with the diverse housing stock in the region, from historic downtown New London homes to modern construction in the suburbs. We schedule appointments by area for efficiency and can often accommodate requests within a few days. Same-day service is available depending on our schedule.

Question 3

How often should southeastern CT homeowners clean their ducts?

Accepted Answer

We recommend duct cleaning every two to four years for homes in southeastern Connecticut, with coastal properties potentially benefiting from more frequent service. Factors that may increase the recommended frequency include pets in the home, family members with allergies or respiratory conditions, recent renovations, and proximity to the shoreline. Our technicians can assess your specific situation during an inspection and recommend an appropriate schedule tailored to your home and lifestyle.

Question 4

Can you work with older ductwork in New London's historic homes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. New London has a rich architectural heritage dating back centuries, and many homes feature older ductwork that has been retrofitted over the years. Our technicians use adjustable-pressure equipment designed to clean effectively without stressing aging joints, seams, or connections. We inspect the system as we work and will alert you to any areas showing wear, corrosion, or damage. Detailed documentation with photos is provided for any concerns we identify.

Question 5

What does a complete duct cleaning from VENTNEX include?

Accepted Answer

Our comprehensive service covers every supply and return duct in your home, from the main trunk lines down to individual branch runs and registers. Each vent cover is removed, cleaned, and reinstalled. We use industrial-grade vacuum equipment paired with rotary brush tools to dislodge and extract all accumulated debris. After the cleaning is complete, we verify airflow at every register to confirm the system is performing at its best. The entire process typically takes two to four hours depending on home size.

Question 6

Do you offer seasonal service packages for New London area homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer bundled packages that combine air duct cleaning with dryer vent service and seasonal HVAC inspection at a discounted rate. Many southeastern Connecticut homeowners take advantage of our complete home package to address all their air quality needs in a single appointment. We also maintain service records for our customers and send reminders when your next cleaning or inspection is due. Contact us for a customized quote based on your home and specific needs.
