Most homes have air ducts. They are used by forced air heating and cooling systems to circulate air through the house. Not only do they help keep areas hot or cold, as required, but they also ventilate the home. Air ducts are often the key to comfort and good indoor air quality.

To keep your HVAC system functioning at its best, it’s important to ensure your air ducts are clean and free of debris. This process is best left to professionals who can get the job done right without any damage or disruption.

Cleaning your ducts is important for many reasons. The process removes dirt and debris from your home, improving the air quality. It also helps your HVAC system work more efficiently, which saves you money and can even prolong the lifespan of the system.

Mold, bacteria, rodents, and other hazards can also get inside your ducts and potentially cause damage or health risks. Keeping the ducts clean eliminates these issues and improves the safety and comfort in your home.

Duct Cleaning: The Process Explained

Air duct cleaning involves having the supply, intake and return vents cleaned, including the registers, grills, fans, and even the HVAC unit itself. This is usually a several step process.

The first step is the inspection. During this step, technicians look at the layout of your ducts, inspect the system, determine if there is any damage or issues, then decide which cleaning techniques will work best for your home.

Before the actual cleaning happens, we will take steps to protect your home, laying down drop cloths and other protective materials on your walls and floors as needed. Negative air pressure is then created using a vacuum collection system. This is done so that dirt and debris does not get all over the house, but that it is instead safely collected.

Each individual duct is cleaned and disinfected as necessary. If your furnace needs a new filter, we’ll do that too. We’ll then sweep up any areas that need it, do a thorough inspection to make sure everything is as it should be, and leave your home cleaner and more comfortable than when we arrived.

Trusting a professional team with your air duct cleaning is important for many reasons.

Contamination

Mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms can grow in ducts and other parts of an HVAC system. If allowed to grow freely, they can damage your home and even potentially lead to health problems. Therefore, they must be cleaned and removed safely. Working with a professional also ensures that steps can be taken to prevent these situations from occurring again.

Chemicals

Many chemicals that are used to clean or disinfect duct work can be hazardous if not used correctly. Eliminating mold and bacteria requires using these chemicals, but it’s crucial that the person using them understands how to do so safely. When you work with professionals, you know that you’re dealing with someone who understands how important it is to use these chemicals with care.

Delicate Parts

Your duct work isn’t just empty tubes. The system often contains sensitive or delicate parts that must be treated with care. Falling to do so can result in serious and costly damage to your system. Professionals understand this and they have the right tools and tactics needed to clean your ducts safely.
