Ductwork Cleaning

Ductwork is often overlooked since it resides in the attic and remains out of sight. Think of it as the lungs of your home; everything it 'breathes' in, you are also inhaling. This makes air duct maintenance essential for ensuring that the air you breathe is clean, especially since we spend an average of 62% of our day and night at home. Scheduling HVAC duct cleaning will effectively remove dust, mold spores, and other particles that your HVAC system circulates.

What is the ductwork cleaned with, and how does the cleaning process work?

To ensure effective air duct maintenance, our technicians utilize a source removal method for cleaning your ductwork. This involves placing your duct system under negative pressure with a powerful, specialized vacuum. As the vacuum draws air through the system, our technicians use various devices to remove and dislodge any debris clinging to the walls of your ducts.

After your ductwork has been thoroughly cleaned using our Rotobrush vacuum, our technician will spray an EPA-approved antimicrobial chemical to eliminate any sources of fungi, bacteria, or mold—if present. This step is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment in your home.

How often does ductwork need to be cleaned?

The frequency of your HVAC duct cleaning largely depends on several factors, including:

- Presence of smokers in the household

- Pets that shed fur and dander frequently

- Household members with allergies or asthma

- Recently renovated homes

Typically, it is advised to have your ductwork cleaned every three to five years, though this time frame may vary based on the factors mentioned above.

Do I need to move any furniture for the ductwork cleaning?

No, there’s no need to move or cover furniture in your home before a scheduled ductwork cleaning. Our technicians will take all necessary precautions to ensure that no mess is made during or after the HVAC duct cleaning process.

How much will it cost to have my ductwork cleaned?

The cost of ductwork cleaning varies based on several factors, with the most significant being the size of your home and duct system. Our technicians can provide you with upfront pricing for your specific ductwork cleaning while they are on-site.

How long will the ductwork cleaning take?

The duration of the ductwork cleaning is influenced by multiple variables, such as:

- The size of your home

- The size of your duct system

- The number of HVAC units present in your home

- The number of technicians performing the job

Will a ductwork cleaning reduce my monthly energy bill?

Ensuring that your ductwork system is clean promotes the efficient operation of your HVAC unit. Dirty ductwork can cycle through your HVAC system, affecting components like coils and blower housing, which ultimately raises your energy bill and reduces system efficiency. Regular air duct maintenance is vital for optimal performance.
