Air Duct Cleaning

We clean the whole system, not just the vents you can see. The ducts are put under negative pressure, loosened debris is pulled out of the house, and you get before-and-after footage of the inside.

How we clean ducts

Proper duct cleaning has two parts: loosening what’s stuck to the duct walls, and capturing it so it doesn’t end up in your living room. We connect a high-powered collection unit to the system to keep it under negative pressure, then work through the supply and return runs with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips. Loosened debris gets pulled toward the collector instead of blowing out of the registers.

We work to the practices described in the NADCA ACR standard, the industry’s published guideline for cleaning HVAC systems.

What duct cleaning won’t do

We won’t promise that duct cleaning will cure allergies or lower your energy bill by a set percentage. Neither is a fair promise. What it does is remove built-up dust, debris, and residue from the system, which matters most after renovations, pest problems, or an oil burner puffback.

Pair it with the rest of the system

Dirty ducts are often only half the story. If the blower wheel and coil are coated, clean ducts won’t stay clean for long. Ask about furnace and HVAC system cleaning in the same visit.

Common questions

How often should air ducts be cleaned?

There is no fixed schedule that fits every home. The EPA recommends cleaning when there's substantial visible dust or debris, signs of pests, or visible mold. Many homeowners find that every few years is enough. We'll show you footage and tell you honestly if yours can wait.

Will duct cleaning help with allergies?

Honestly, research hasn't shown that duct cleaning prevents health problems on its own. It does remove built-up dust and debris that would otherwise blow back into your rooms, and it's worth doing after renovations, pests, or a puffback. Changing your furnace filter regularly matters just as much.

What if you find mold?

We'll stop and show you. New York requires a licensed mold assessor and remediator for areas larger than 10 square feet, so we'll point you to one rather than simply spraying over it.
