Ducts and Vent Cleaning
Ducts and Vents Cleaning: What You Need to Know
Over time, your home's or office's HVAC system accumulates dust, debris, allergens, pet dander, and even mold. This buildup inside air ducts and vents can significantly impact indoor air quality, reduce airflow efficiency, and increase energy consumption. That's where professional ducts and vents cleaning comes in.
What Does the Cleaning Process Involve?
The duct cleaning process begins with an inspection to assess the level of contamination. Certified technicians use specialized tools to dislodge dirt and debris, which are then removed using a high-powered vacuum system. The process often includes:
A strong suction system pulls contaminants out of the ducts without letting them recirculate into your space.
These tools scrub and dislodge stubborn particles from the duct walls.
All registers and grilles are removed, cleaned, and reinstalled to ensure clean air flow throughout the home.
In some cases, a non-toxic, EPA-approved sanitizer is applied to eliminate bacteria, mold spores, or odors.
For best results, it’s also recommended to clean the air handler, blower fan, coils, and even dryer vents, as these components can also harbor contaminants that reduce HVAC performance.
