Your air ducts circulate air throughout your home thousands of times per day. Over time, dust, debris, pet dander, pollen, and other contaminants accumulate in the ductwork. Professional duct cleaning removes these buildups, improving indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency. Our comprehensive duct cleaning process begins with a video inspection to assess the condition of your ducts and identify any problems. We then use powerful vacuum equipment and specialized tools to dislodge and remove debris from all accessible ductwork. We clean supply and return ducts, registers and grilles, heat exchangers, cooling coils, condensate drip pans, and the air handling unit. After cleaning, we can apply an antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold and bacterial growth. Duct cleaning is particularly beneficial after home renovations (which generate significant dust), if you've noticed increased dust in your home, if there's visible mold or mildew, if you have unexplained allergies or respiratory issues, or if you've recently moved into a new home. We recommend duct cleaning every 3-5 years for most homes.
