Air Duct Cleaning
Do you notice dust on your furniture shortly after cleaning? Is there a smoker in the house? Do you have pets? Are your registers or vents dirty? Do you have allergies?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, it may be time to have your air ducts professionally cleaned!!!

1. The supply and return networks are “zoned,” or separated, so they can be cleaned
independently. This is typically done by removing the furnace filter, inserting it into a
plastic bag and reinserting it into the furnace.
2. An access hole is cut into the supply plenum and the flex duct from the HEPA
vacuum inlet is connected to the plenum with a quick-connect attachment collar. The
powerful vacuum creates high velocity air movement within the supply ductwork to transport
loosened dirt and contaminants out of the ductwork and into the vacuum's
filtration/collection system.
3. Each branch is cleaned separately starting with the branch farthest from the vacuum. The register and boot areas are blasted with
compressed air from the powerful compressor using the special air booster gun to push any dirt or debris into the branch run.
4. The branches are then cleaned by feeding the special forward air tools down each branch run to push dirt and debris forward into
the main run. The branches can also be cleaned using the special reverse air tools if access to the branch duct is available at the main
supply duct.
5. Agitation devices such as the special brush systems can also used to dislodge caked on debris from inside duct surfaces.
6. The main run is then cleaned using the agitation devices and the special reverse assembly to dislodge debris accumulated on duct
surfaces. The loosened debris is pulled backward toward the HEPA portable power vacuum and captured in its multi-stage
filtration/collection system. One-inch diameter access holes need to be cut only every 25 feet.
7. Once the supply side of the system has been completely cleaned, the return duct system is cleaned using the same method.
8. At this stage the coil, motor and blower, and blower compartment are cleaned.
9. Once the entire cleaning process is completed, all access holes are completely closed with the efficient one inch plugs and
insulated spin doors that seal off any leaking and make the duct systems easily accessible for repeat cleaning.
When performing Air Duct Cleaning we use only methods and procedures that are recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association and E.P.A. The process is a Push / Pull method which normally takes four to six hours for an average size home. We recommend having your air ducts professionally cleaned every three to five years depending on what type of filtration system you have installed. Imagine not dusting or cleaning your home for that long? That is probably what your duct system looks like inside.
Besides all of the health benefits of Air Duct Cleaning, it also helps your heating and cooling system run much more efficiently.
