Why Clean your air ducts?
because they get dirty.
The average home collects
40 lbs of dust EACH YEAR.

What's in your air ducts?
-
Bacteria, Mold, & Mildew
If left unaddressed, water issues can lead to the growth of mold.
Unaddressed water leaks or excess moisture can fuel mold growth, which generates allergens, irritants, and potentially toxic substances. Unless the root water problem is fully resolved, the mold will persist and jeopardize the health and safety of your home. -
Dust Mites, Dead Skin, & Rodent Waste
A pest or rodent infestation can contaminate your indoor air with their waste.
Unsealed gaps and vents in your HVAC system provide entry points for these critters, which can then spread various pathogens and respiratory irritants throughout your home.
-
Pollen, Pet Hair, & Dander
Visible particles escaping through air vents indicates significant buildup.
Pet hair, dander, and odors become trapped in your air ducts. Over time, this buildup can clog your HVAC system and produce unpleasant smells.
-
Cleaning Chemicals, Candle Wax, & Wildfire Smoke
Smoke, synthetic fragrances, and paraffin can infiltrate your home's air ducts.
The greatest health threat from smoke lies in its fine particulate matter. These microscopic particles can penetrate your eyes and lungs, triggering symptoms like stinging eyes, a runny nose, and respiratory issues such as bronchitis - whether you're indoors or outdoors.

5 - 7 times per day
What are the benefits of air duct cleaning?
indoor air quality.
Indoor air quality is a common concern for homeowners considering air duct cleaning. Your heating and cooling system acts like the lungs of your home, pulling in and circulating air.
Daily activities generate contaminants like dust, pet dander, and chemicals, which are drawn into the HVAC system and recirculated 5 to 7 times a day. Over time, this leads to a buildup of debris in the ductwork.
While dirty air ducts don’t always mean unhealthy air, they can contribute to health issues, especially for people with respiratory conditions, autoimmune disorders, or allergies. Regular air duct cleaning can help improve indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment.
energy savings.
The U.S. Department of Energy states that 25% to 40% of the energy used to heat or cool a home is wasted. Contaminants in your HVAC system make it work harder and shorten its lifespan. Even with filters, the system still gets dirty from regular use.
Cleaning your HVAC system can improve efficiency by removing debris from important components. A clean system uses less energy to maintain your desired temperature, reducing your energy bills. It’s also less likely to break down, extending its lifespan and saving you money over time.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, regular HVAC maintenance, including air duct cleaning, can lower your energy bills by 20% to 30%.
AIR DUCT CLEANING Faqs
how often should
air ducts be cleaned?
The frequency of air duct cleaning depends on various factors, with homeowner preference being a key consideration.
Factors that may prompt more frequent cleanings include:
Smokers in the household
Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander
Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system
Residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants in the home’s HVAC system
After home renovations or remodeling
Before occupancy of a new home
What are antimicrobial chemicals?
why are they used?
Antimicrobial chemicals are sometimes applied to the inside of air ducts to treat contamination from mold, bacteria, or viruses.
Before using these chemicals, the system should be thoroughly cleaned. It's important to ensure that any antimicrobial product is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in HVAC systems. Applying antimicrobial treatments is an extra service and is not included in standard air duct cleaning.
what is the price range for
air duct cleaning services?
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the cost of duct cleaning services typically ranges from $450 to $1,000 per heating and cooling system.
The price varies based on factors such as the services provided, system size, accessibility, climate, level of contamination, and the type of duct material.
Dryer vent cleaning
Lint buildup is responsible for 27% of dryer-related house fires.
Routine dryer vent maintenance is crucial for safety and optimal performance. Blocked dryer vents pose significant risks, such as fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and mold infestations.
As lint and dust gather in the vent over time, airflow becomes restricted, leading to higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan for your dryer. Keeping your dryer vent clean and in good working order not only reduces fire hazards but also improves efficiency.
Signs that your dryer needs service:
Prolonged drying times
Clothes are wrinkled or excessively hot
Stopping or shutting off
Vibrations or unusual noises
A burning odor
