In addition to normal accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes through regular use, there are several other factors that can increase the need for air duct cleaning:
-You Just Remodeled Your Home
-You Want to Improve the Efficiency of Your HVAC System
-You Have Pets
-You Have an Older Home
-You have Occupants with allergies or asthma
-You have a Cigarette or cigar smoker in the home
Indoor air quality is one concern that homeowners have when they decide to investigate air duct cleaning. Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home. The system takes air in and breathes air out.
Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a lot of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.
While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, they may contribute to larger health issues or harbor contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders, or allergies.
Inspect YOUR AIR DUCTS
You can tell if your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system needs cleaning by one of two ways. First, with a screw driver, remove a floor or wall register. Then,
Use a small mirror and flashlight
-or
Use a digital camera to take a picture inside the duct.
If there is visible dust, dirt or debris, you should have your ducts cleaned.
The entire HVAC ductwork system should be cleaned. Failure to clean all the ductwork can result in re-contamination, thus minimizing the benefits of cleaning.
Just as you wouldn’t only clean half of your living room floor,
you also would not want to clean only part of your HVAC ductwork.
-all return vent ducts
- all supply vent ducts
-all main trunk lines
Air duct cleaning is the process of removing contaminants such as dust, dirt, and debris from the ductwork of a heating or cooling system.

How many systems do you have in the home (a system for us is considered a furnace or heat pump and can normally be told by the number of thermostats or condensers outside.)
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends having your air ducts cleaned every 3-5 years.
The benefits of air duct cleaning include improved indoor air quality, reduced allergens and irritants, increased energy efficiency, and extended lifespan of your HVAC system.
These might be indications that your home's duct work might be due for a thorough cleaning inside your HVAC ductwork system, fine dust collects on air duct surfaces and vents. Air filters remove most of these from the air stream, but not for all parts of the HVAC ductwork system. That's why it's important to periodically check the condition of your air ducts to see if they could use air duct cleaning services
Absolutely not. All of our gas powered equipment is located outside, so the dirt is pulled to the machine outside and out of your home. Our procedures are designed to protect your home and furnishings from dust/dirt and we always leave the home cleaner then when we arrived.
We ask for 1- 2 hours per system in your home, so that we can ensure that our expert technicians have provided the best air duct cleaning service
Yes. Our machines are located outside and this prevents any debris in your air system from entering the home environment, so you can be home while the work is performed
Absolutely not. While our equipment is designed to be aggressive at removing debris from your air system, it is also gentle enough so that it does not damage your air ducts. The method is negative air cleaning or the "push-pull method". This method of air duct cleaning involves putting the air system under negative pressure, disturbing the debris inside the ducts and collecting it in one place.
