WHAT IS DUCT CLEANING?
Air Duct Cleaning (aka Air Vent Cleaning or AC Duct Cleaning) entails the removal of dust, debris and allergens, such as mold and mildew, from the ducts of your air conditioning and heating system. Air Duct Cleaning is some ways is a misnomer because your heating and cooling coils, fans and filters should also be cleaned at the same time your ducts are cleaned - it's all one HVAC system. Airborne dust particles settle into your home’s air ducts and are cycled through your HVAC system’s heating and cooling units. Without periodic duct and coil cleaning, air ducts and vents and heating and cooling coils can become inundated with dust buildup, creating allergy and health issues for you and your family, and significantly reducing the energy efficiency and longevity of your furnace and air conditioning systems.

WHY HIRE A DUCT CLEANING PROFESSIONAL?
01 The Right Equipment
Properly cleaning an air duct system requires specialized, industrial-grade duct-cleaning equipment, including an extremely high-powered vacuum outfitted with the proper filters and rotary brushes that can reach 30-40 feet into your ducts. Without the proper equipment, it is not possible to reach and thoroughly clean all surfaces of your air vents and ducts, and any residual dust, debris and allergens will just redistribute throughout your HVAC system and ducts. Additionally, the right air duct cleaning equipment prevents the dirt, dust, spores and pollen vacuumed from your ducts from being redistributed back into your home. A professional air duct cleaning service will ensure your ducts are spotless throughout your home.
02 Safe & Effective Decontamination
Ducts often are the breeding ground for mold spores and mildew growth, as well as other bacteria, pests and other biological contaminants that feed off the dust and debris that accumulates in your air ducts. Without end-to-end cleaning with proper equipment capable of completely removing contaminants and proper environmentally safe cleaning solutions to disinfect the surfaces, any contaminant growth in your ducts will continue to impact the health of you and your family.
03 Specialized HVAC Knowledge
A Duct Cleaning Professional will have the total package of understanding of the job to know the right equipment and processes to ensure the cleaning is done thoroughly, and will ensure your HVAC (furnace and air conditioning) systems are functioning properly. Your air ducts are only part of your home’s total HVAC system and an air duct cleaning professional will ensure your heating and cooling systems are operating optimally. Our professional air duct cleaning team, in addition to cleaning your vents and ducts, will also inspect your whole HVAC system, including your fans, filters and compressors. Having the work performed by an expert who knows what they’re doing will help to avoid costly repairs in the future, and will ensure the highest energy efficient operation of your heating and cooling systems.
04 Additional Services
In addition to cleaning your ducts and vents, a professional duct cleaning service also offers related services, such as dryer vent cleaning, mold remediation, professional sanitizing and disinfection. Having these issues addressed at the same time will reduce fire hazards and allergenic triggers and ensure the wellbeing of you and your family.

Why Should You Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned?
Facts: Air Duct Cleaning and Indoor Air Quality
- Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Standard air filters remove only around 7% of airborne particulate - the remaining 93% accumulates in your home and air ducts
- According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), the average 6 room residential home accumulates 40 pounds of dust and debris every year
- Household dust consists of human skin, animal fur, decomposing insects, food debris, lint fabrics, tracked-in soil, soot, particulate matter from smoking and cooking, and, disturbingly, lead, arsenic and even DDT, and other toxic substances according to researchers at the University of Arizona
- Dust is not harmless: scientists have found 10 potentially harmful chemicals in 90 percent of all household dust samples, according to research performed by the George Washington School of Public Health
- Household dust is a key source of exposure to toxic pollutants for infants and toddlers, and the elderly, according to research published by the Journal of Environmental Science & Technology
- Millions suffer year-round from allergy symptoms caused by indoor allergens, such as dust mite droppings, animal dander, cockroach droppings and molds, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
- Contaminants in household dust are pulled into the HVAC ducts and recirculated 5-7x per day according to the NADCA
- Indoor air pollution (IAP) is responsible for the deaths of 3.8 million people per year, according to the World Health Organization
“If you’re sensitive to what’s found in dust, it’s to your best advantage to minimize exposure to it.”
Anthony Montanaro, MD
Professor of Medicine
Chief of the Allergy and Clinical Immunology Division
Oregon Health and Science University, referring to air duct cleaning

New Facts: Air Duct Cleaning For Energy Efficiency and System Longevity
- Only a small buildup of dirt or dust build-up, common in most heating and cooling coils, can decrease energy efficiency by 20% according to the US EPA
- Cleaning heating and cooling system components (e.g. cooling coils, fans and heat exchangers) improves system efficiency, increases operating life, and results in energy and maintenance cost savings (EPA)
- 9 out of 10 HVAC system failures are caused by unnecessary dirt and dust, according to research from LSU.

Do You Need to Have Your Ducts Cleaned?
Ask yourself the questions below to determine if you need to consider if you need to have your ducts cleaned:
- Do you have heavy dust accumulation, on your furniture, on the floor, or around your vents?
- Has anyone in your household dealing with allergies, asthma or other respiratory condition?
- Do you have small children at home who frequently have their hands on the floor?
- Have you had your air ducts cleaned in the last 3-4 years?
If you’ve answered yes to more than one of these questions, you should strongly consider having your ducts cleaned.
Do You Have An Indoor Air Pollution Problem?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and the health impacts of Indoor Air Pollution is an area of growing concern amongst public health organizations around the world. A growing body of research has demonstrated that indoor air quality is 2-5x worse than outdoor air, and common household dust can contain a range of toxic substances and allergenic triggers. Below are tell-tale signs of indoor air pollution:
You use a standard low-grade fiberglass air filter
Standard low-grade fiberglass filters with a low MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) only filter out a small amount (~7%) of airborne particulate, meaning you have little protection against accumulating indoor pollution in your home
Your home has high levels of dust accumulation
If dust quickly accumulates on your furniture, or you see dusty air blowing out of your air duct registers, or see dust accumulating in the filter housing when you change your air filter, your lungs and nose are also being coated with this dust
You have pets
Pets, and the hair, dander and other particulates they shed, are a common source of indoor air pollution
There’s a smoker in the house
Smoking obviously significantly impacts indoor air quality, and the impacts linger far longer than you would expect, and the residual ash that falls to the ground can be recycled throughout the home in a heating and cooling system that is not properly functioning.
Someone in the house suffers from allergies or asthma or other respiratory problem
Allergic reactions or other respiratory ailments are common in a home with an indoor air pollution problem. The American College of Allergy and Immunology has found that house dust is the major cause of allergies in persons with year-round complaints.
You experience headaches, nausea, or burning sensation in the nose, throat or eyes when inside the home
The symptoms above can be a sign of more serious indoor air quality issues, such as mold or mildew contamination and require immediate attention.

Our Duct Cleaning Process
We pride ourselves on having the tightest, most professionalized process in the business. Below we breakdown the explain the principles of our process:
- Whole System Approach: A proper cleaning method requires cleaning the whole HVAC system at the same time - not just the ducts. This includes everything from the air ducts, and air plenum registers, to the grilles and diffusers, heating and cooling coils, fan motor assembly and housing, heat exchanger, air filter, air cleaner and condensate drain pan.
- Three-Component Process: Our cleaning process entails three primary components:
- First, we focus on breaking the contaminants loose, using one or more of several possible methods, including use of rotary brushes, air whips, compressed air nozzles, hand brushing or contact vacuuming.
- Second, we collect the contaminants with a high powered vacuum. Throughout the cleaning process, your system is placed under negative pressure to ensure all contaminants cleaned from the system are immediately sucked into our vacuum units, and preventing any spread of contaminants.
- Third, we clean the components of your HVAC system that have touch points with air flow, including grills, coils, blower motor assembly, heat exchanger, etc.
- Right Equipment For the Job: We have a range of equipment options available to properly clean your air ducts, and we choose the right equipment for the job. We can use both truck or portable mounted vacuums, rotary brushes or “skipper balls”. Our professionals understand the requirements of your system and the right equipment to get the job done.
- System Access: Our process entails access to your system and may require creating service openings in your ducts. Typically we are able to use existing openings, including supply diffusers, return grills, duct end caps and existing service openings. If creation of a service opening is required, our technicians have the professional skill and craftsmanship to make and reseal these openings, to ensure proper functioning of your HVAC system.
