Air Quality Issues

- Dust and Debris: Excessive dust and debris circulating in your home, even after regular cleaning, suggest a problem with your air ducts.
- Unpleasant Odors: Musty, moldy, or other strange smells from your vents indicate potential issues with your ductwork.
HVAC Performance Issues

- Higher Energy Bills: Dirty ducts can reduce your HVAC system’s efficiency, increasing energy consumption.

Our Duct Cleaning Process
Our professional air duct cleaning process goes beyond a simple surface-level treatment. Specialized equipment and expertise are required to clean your HVAC system thoroughly. Here’s a breakdown of the typical process:
- Thorough Inspection: A certified technician will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your HVAC system, including the ductwork, registers, and the furnace or air handler. We’ll identify the extent of contamination, potential damage, and any necessary repairs. Asbestos testing might be recommended if there’s suspicion of its presence.
- Equipment Setup: To effectively contain dust and debris, professionals use specialized equipment, including powerful vacuums with HEPA filters. Negative air pressure systems might be employed to prevent contaminants from spreading to other areas of the house.
- Duct Cleaning: We create ductwork access points to insert specialized cleaning tools and use air whips or brushes to dislodge dirt and debris from the duct walls. Simultaneously, the powerful vacuum extracts the loosened contaminants. This process is repeated throughout the duct system to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Register and Vent Cleaning: Registers and vents are removed and cleaned to eliminate accumulated dust and grime. This step is essential for optimal airflow and improved indoor air quality.
- System Components Cleaning: We clean your furnace or air handler, coils, and blower components to remove dust and debris. This step enhances the system’s efficiency and lifespan.
- Post-Cleaning Inspection: We conduct a final inspection to verify the cleanliness of the ductwork and system components and seal your ductwork to prevent future contamination.
