What is duct cleaning?
Duct cleaning is the process of removing dust and debris from the ductwork a home uses for its furnace or central air conditioning. We brush and blow air into your supply vents while a high-powered vacuum pulls the dislodged dust from the ducts. We perform this process on the hot and cold air return sides of your system.
How do I know if my air ducts need cleaning?
Good indoor air quality is essential to a healthy home. When dust, mold, fungus, pet hair, debris, food and even small toys clog up the ductwork in your house, they can cause allergy symptoms such as headaches, sneezing and itchy eyes and force your equipment to work harder — raising your energy bills and the possibility of a breakdown as well.
You should also consider cleaning your ducts if:
- You experience a musty or burning smell when you turn on the furnace for the first time
- You have family members with allergies or asthma
- You have pets, young children or several people living under one roof
- You’ve recently moved into a new home or completed renovations
- A duct cleaning will help protect from dirt and dust being pulled into your new equipment
What to expect from a duct cleaning service
Our air duct cleaning service typically takes between 90 minutes and 2.5 hours and can remove five to six pounds (3kg) of dirt depending on a home’s size. We run an 8-inch suction hose from our truck into your house and blow air into your individual supply vents at a rate of 25,000 cubic feet per minute.
After the dirt is removed, we use a 100% natural antibacterial spray to kill any bacteria, mould or fungal spores that may be living in your ducts.
How much does furnace and AC duct cleaning cost?
The average air conditioner lifespan is 17 years. How long a unit will last depends on its history of maintenance and repairs. If your AC unit is over 10 years old and needs a major repair, it may be worthwhile to replace it with a new high-efficiency unit. Call us at 1-855-514-6485 for a free quote.
