Air Duct Cleaning
What Is Air Duct Cleaning?
Air duct cleaning is the professional removal of dust, debris, allergens, mold spores, and other contaminants from your HVAC system's ductwork. Over time, air ducts accumulate significant amounts of particulate matter that circulates throughout your home every time the system runs.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Process
System Inspection
We perform a comprehensive inspection of your ductwork using cameras to assess contamination levels, identify problem areas, and check for damage or leaks that need attention.
System Protection
We seal registers and protect your home's interior, then connect our high-powered vacuum system to create negative pressure that prevents contaminants from escaping into your living space.
Agitation & Loosening
Using rotating brushes, air whips, and compressed air tools, we dislodge stubborn debris, dust, and buildup from duct walls throughout your entire system.
Vacuum Extraction
Our truck-mounted or portable HEPA vacuum system extracts all loosened contaminants, capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns for complete removal from your home.
Sanitization & Sealing
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments to prevent future growth, seal any leaks discovered during inspection, and perform a final air quality test to verify results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from Northern California homeowners
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends cleaning every 3-5 years for most homes. However, homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or family members with allergies may benefit from more frequent cleaning every 2-3 years.
Will air duct cleaning reduce my energy bills?
Yes, clean ducts allow air to flow more freely, reducing strain on your HVAC system. Many homeowners see energy savings of 20-30% after professional duct cleaning, especially if ducts were heavily contaminated.
How long does air duct cleaning take?
A typical residential air duct cleaning takes 2-4 hours depending on home size, number of vents, and contamination level. Larger homes or severely contaminated systems may take longer to ensure thorough cleaning.
