What is air duct cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is the removal of dust, dirt, and other debris that builds up in the ductwork of your home. You can think of it as vacuuming out the particles that collect overtime within your home’s ventilation system.

What are some of the benefits of professional ductwork cleaning?

Having the air ducts cleaned on a regular basis can significantly improve the quality of the air in your residential or commercial property. Once the debris are removed, you should notice:

  • Lower utility bills
  • Increased airflow
  • Even temperatures from room to room
  • Reduced frequency of house cleaning
  • Healthier environment and improved indoor air quality
  • Reduced allergy triggers

Are there any health benefits associated with this service?

Yes! Professionally cleaned ductwork can reduce pollen, mold, fungi, dust, and bacteria particles. These contaminants are known to trigger asthma, allergies, and other health issues. By eliminating or at least reducing the contaminants in the ductwork, you are making sure that the air that circulates throughout your home is cleaner and therefore healthier.

How often should I have my ductwork cleaned?

It is recommended to have your air ducts cleaned once every two years. More frequent cleanings should be considered under the following circumstances:

  • Smokers in the household
  • Residents with asthma or allergies
  • Pet hair and dander
  • Water/smoke contamination in the home
  • After home remodeling or renovations
  • To remove construction debris prior to the occupancy of a newly constructed home
  • After an existing home is purchased

How long will it take to clean the ductwork in my home?

This varies depending on the layout of the ductwork and the size of the home. An average-size home can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours with two trained technicians.

Will duct cleaning reduce my energy bills?

Duct and vent cleaning may allow systems to run more efficiently by removing debris from sensitive mechanical components. Clean, efficient systems have a longer life span, are less likely to break down, and generally operate more effectively than dirty systems.

What if there is a leak in the air ducts?

A leak in the air ducts will decrease the energy efficiency of your cooling and heating system. Ductwork that is not properly sealed can raise heating costs by 30% and air conditioning costs by 18%. Sealing your air duct system can keep your energy costs in check.
