You can find dust, dirt, pet dander, smoke and even toxins that can affect your indoor air quality. With everything that could be released and floating in the air, you might need an HVAC air duct cleaning.
A duct cleaning is a popular service that we provide homeowners looking to free their HVAC ducts of dust, dirt, and toxins. After a duct cleaning, you will breathe in healthier indoor air, and you may see a difference in your allergy symptoms and the accumulation of dust in your home.

How Does A Duct Cleaning Improve My Heating and Cooling System?
With everything that can build up your air ducts, like the dirt, dust, and dander, it could clog up the ducts. A duct cleaning will help to clear the air ducts and allow for proper airflow throughout the system. You will also see a difference in your furnace filter. Keeping up on HVAC duct cleaning will help your filter from getting clogged as quickly. A clean air duct system and furnace filter will work together to save money by removing the pressure from your HVAC system and potentially lowering your energy usage.
How Does A Duct Cleaning Improve My Indoor Air?
A duct cleaning will help improve your indoor air quality in many ways. Those who suffer from allergies can expect to alleviate symptoms, as a duct cleaning will remove excess pollutants and dust from the ducts leading to each room. If you have pets in your home, this cleaning service will help remove extra pet dander, fur, and hairballs that can clog and aggravate your system. A duct cleaning can also eliminate foul or musty odors that you might be experiencing due to debris and pollutants collecting within your ductwork.
How Do I Know If I Need A Duct Cleaning?
The National Air Ducts Cleaners Association recommends cleaning your air ducts every three to five years. Most often, we will schedule duct cleanings with customers who have moved into a ‘new to them’ house, as it is a great way to ensure that the home’s ductwork has been cleared of the previous owner’s dust, pet dander, and other pollutants. Routine duct cleaning appointments are also popular with those who have pets. We also see many homeowners upgrading their HVAC system by booking a duct cleaning service shortly after replacement; this can help the operation of their new heating and cooling equipment.
How Expensive Is A Duct Cleaning?
While numerous companies offer duct cleaning services, it’s important to understand that not all duct cleanings are the same.
