What is air duct cleaning?
Air duct cleaning removes dust, lint, hair and debris that collect inside your supply and return ducts, registers and main trunk lines. Done properly, it removes that material from the system entirely rather than stirring it up.
How our process works
- Inspection. We look at your system and confirm the scope: number of vents, trunk lines, returns and any add-ons.
- Protection. We protect floors and furnishings near work areas.
- Negative-air extraction. A high-powered collection unit puts the ducts under negative pressure. Brushes and air tools loosen debris so it’s pulled out of the system.
- Registers and returns. Vent covers and return areas are cleaned.
- Optional sanitizing. Micro-sanitization of the ducts and optional UV light installation near the coil, using clean, low-odor products.
- Before & after documentation. You see the results and get maintenance recommendations.
Signs your ducts may need cleaning
- Dust blowing from vents or settling quickly after you clean
- Visible debris on or around registers
- Musty or stale odors when the AC turns on
- Recent renovation or construction work
- Pets that shed, or you can’t remember the last cleaning
Duct cleaning vs. HVAC cleaning
Duct cleaning focuses on the ductwork that carries air through your home. HVAC cleaning covers the equipment itself — the blower, housing and components — and coil cleaning targets the evaporator coil. For the best results, many customers combine them.
What affects the price?
The number of vents and returns, system size and accessibility, the amount of build-up and any add-ons such as dryer vent cleaning. We explain pricing before work begins — no surprises.
How to prepare
Clear a path to vents, returns and the air handler, and secure pets. That’s it — we handle the rest.
