What Our Duct Cleaning Service Includes
IAQ Services provides professional duct cleaning and fungicidal coating for residential and commercial properties throughout New Orleans and surrounding areas. Our NADCA-standard process goes beyond surface cleaning — it targets the mold, bacteria, and contaminants circulating through your HVAC system and degrading your indoor air quality.
Why Duct Cleaning Matters in New Orleans
New Orleans' heat and humidity create near-ideal conditions for mold and bacteria to colonize HVAC ductwork. Once established, these contaminants circulate through your air supply every time the system runs — affecting air quality, triggering allergic responses, and accelerating system wear.
Regular duct cleaning and fungicidal coating is a recommended component of any maintenance plan for homes and businesses in the region, and becomes especially urgent following flooding, water damage, or any period when the HVAC system was inactive.
5 Signs You Need Duct Cleaning
1. Increased Allergies or Respiratory Symptoms
If residents or building occupants are experiencing worsening respiratory issues or allergy flare-ups — particularly when the HVAC system is running — pollutants, dust, and allergens may be accumulating in the ductwork and recirculating through the air supply.
2. Visible Mold Around Vents or HVAC Components
Mold visible near air vents or on HVAC components almost always indicates mold presence deeper within the ductwork. In a climate like New Orleans, surface mold is rarely isolated — it should be treated as a signal for full system inspection and cleaning.
3. Musty or Unpleasant Odors When the System Runs
Persistent musty smells that appear when the air conditioning or heating activates are a strong indicator of mold or bacterial growth inside the ducts. These odors typically won't resolve with air fresheners — the source is inside the system itself.
4. Dust That Returns Quickly After Cleaning
If surfaces in your home or business accumulate dust rapidly after cleaning, your HVAC system may be pulling debris from dirty ducts and redistributing it throughout the space. This is a reliable sign that the ductwork itself needs attention.
5. Reduced HVAC Efficiency or Higher Energy Bills
An HVAC system struggling to reach or maintain temperature may be fighting airflow restrictions caused by debris buildup in the ducts. Clean ducts restore airflow, reduce system strain, and lower energy consumption.

Duct Cleaning Faq
-
NADCA generally recommends duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but in New Orleans the humid climate, combined with heavy air conditioning use, shortens that window. Annual or biennial cleaning is advisable for most properties here — and immediate cleaning is recommended after any flooding, water intrusion, or extended period without HVAC operation.
-
For a typical residential property, the full process — including coil cleaning, duct scrubbing, and Foster 40/20 coating application — generally takes between 4 and 8 hours. Larger commercial systems will require more time. IAQ Services will provide a specific estimate based on your system size and configuration.

It can. Debris and buildup inside ductwork restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder to reach the desired temperature. Removing that buildup restores proper airflow and reduces the strain on the system, which typically translates to improved efficiency and lower energy costs over time.
