Everything you need to know about our air duct cleaning services, process, and pricing.

info General

Air duct cleaning is the process of removing dust, debris, allergens, mold, and other contaminants from your HVAC system's ductwork. This includes the supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, and other components of your heating and cooling system.
The EPA recommends cleaning your air ducts every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent cleaning if you have pets, allergies, asthma, recent renovations, visible mold growth, or if you've recently moved into a new home. We recommend an annual inspection to assess your system's condition.
Common signs include: visible dust or debris around vents, musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs, increased allergy or asthma symptoms, uneven airflow between rooms, higher energy bills, or if it's been more than 5 years since your last cleaning.

settings Our Process

A typical residential air duct cleaning takes between 2 to 4 hours depending on the size of your home, the number of vents, and the level of contamination. Larger homes or heavily soiled systems may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate before we begin.
We use professional-grade HEPA-filtered vacuum systems, rotary brushes, and compressed air tools to dislodge and capture contaminants. Our equipment meets NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards, ensuring a thorough and safe cleaning without damaging your ductwork.
Yes, we require an adult (18+) to be present during the service to provide access to all areas of the home and to review the work upon completion. We'll walk you through our findings and show you before-and-after results.
No. Our HEPA-filtered vacuum systems create negative pressure inside the ducts, so all debris is captured and contained. We also use protective covers on floors and furniture near work areas. Our technicians clean up thoroughly before leaving.
