What that means for ducts
New-build ductwork
Roughly 33% of Wylie's homes were built since 2010. New does not mean clean: the commonest thing we pull out of a five-year-old system is the construction phase itself — drywall fines, sawdust, insulation fiber — plus builder-grade flex that was kinked or crushed on the day and has been throttling that run ever since. Photographs matter more here, not less.
That is a reading of the city’s stock, not a diagnosis of your home. Which of it applies to you is exactly what the camera settles — and why we would rather run one than quote from a postcode.
02Working in Wylie
The part that changes from street to street.
Wylie carries two housing stories. Most of it is new, more than half built in the 2000s and a third since 2010, and those systems are young enough that the honest answer to a cleaning inquiry is frequently that there is nothing to clean yet. The other story is the manufactured housing, a noticeably larger share here than in the neighboring cities, and it is a genuinely different job. In a manufactured home the supply duct is a single trunk running inside the belly board beneath the floor, and where two sections are joined the trunk is bridged by a flexible crossover hanging under the home. The crossover is the part that fails. It gets torn by animals, dragged on the ground, or crushed against a pier, and once it opens you are heating the crawl space and drawing ground moisture into the trunk. That is inspected from underneath the home, not through the floor registers, and it is a repair rather than a cleaning.

03UV Air-Purification Light Installation — in this stock
Treatment in new stock — usually the wrong purchase.
In a house built since 2010 there is rarely a documented indication for an antimicrobial or a UV lamp, and we will normally say so. Where a UV light does earn its place here it is a coil-hygiene decision on a system that runs long humid cycles, not an air-purity claim. If someone has quoted you a treatment on a five-year-old system without showing you a reason on camera, ask what the reason was.
Will a UV light purify the air in my whole house?
Not by itself, and we'll never claim otherwise. Air moves past the lamp too quickly for much single-pass effect; UV's real work is keeping continuously wet surfaces — coil area, drain pan — clean, which prevents the microbial growth and odor that start there.
How often does the bulb need replacing?
Annually, as a rule. Germicidal output fades long before the visible glow does, so a lamp can look alive while doing little.

05Questions
Asked in Wylie, answered straight.
Will a UV light purify the air in my whole house?
Not by itself, and we'll never claim otherwise. Air moves past the lamp too quickly for much single-pass effect; UV's real work is keeping continuously wet surfaces — coil area, drain pan — clean, which prevents the microbial growth and odor that start there. Think of it as surface hygiene that complements filtration, not a force field.
How often does the bulb need replacing?
Annually, as a rule. Germicidal output fades long before the visible glow does, so a lamp can look alive while doing little. We put a dated label at the unit when we install, show you the swap procedure, and the replacement is a simple, inexpensive routine from there.
We are in a manufactured home and the floors are cold no matter what we set the thermostat to.
Check the crossover before anything else. It is the flexible duct slung under the home between the two halves, and when it tears or drops off you are sending conditioned air into the crawl space. The symptom is exactly what you describe. This is inspected from underneath and repaired, and cleaning the floor registers would not have touched it.
There is a musty smell coming from the floor vents.
In a belly-duct system that often means moisture reached the trunk, either through a torn crossover, a gap in the belly board, or ground water under the home. We would rather find the water than treat the smell, because sanitizing a duct that keeps taking on moisture is a temporary purchase. Ground vapor control and closing the belly usually matter more than anything we can spray.
Our house was built in 2016. Do we need duct cleaning?
Very likely not, and we will tell you that before scheduling. Duct that age is normally in good condition unless there was construction work, a rodent problem or water. What is worth checking once is filter fit and whether every register is actually delivering, because a run kinked or crushed at framing during the build stays that way until somebody looks.
