What is air duct cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is the process of removing all of the dust, dirt, bacteria, animal dander and other contaminants from the ductwork of the heating and air conditioning system in your home or business.

Why should I get my air ducts cleaned?

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), 50% of all illnesses are caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.  The ductwork in your home or business may contain bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi, pet dander, dust mites, construction debris and other pollutants.  All of these pollutants can make your indoor air quality less than desirable and may even cause unhealthy effects such as allergies or worse.  These indoor air contaminants can pollute the air in your home or business without your even knowing it.

How long does duct cleaning take?

The duct cleaning and sanitizing process usually takes about four to six hours for an average size home.  See How It's Done.

How often should I get my ducts cleaned?

We recommend that you have your ducts cleaned every five years and after any remodeling work.

What if my home is new?

Most builders operate the furnace during the construction of your home and do not cover the register openings.  This permits saw and drywall dust, along with other debris to get trapped in your air ducts.  Our system ensures the removal of these contaminants.

Where can I find more information?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has extensive and compelling information regarding the need to periodically clean your air ducts.  You can obtain this information online directly from the EPA at http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/insidest.html.  Please take some time to review this valuable information.
