Air/ HVAC ducts are essential for the circulation of your home or commercial property. Your heating and cooling system utilizes your ducts to maintain temperature throughout the property. Air is circulated through the ducts multiple time a day reaching every room with the same air. This is a integral part of your properties air quality. Did you know that your ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality? Dirty Ducts can circulate odors, contaminants such as mold, and irritating dust throughout your location.

A professional commercial duct cleaning company can reach, clean, and sanitize all the components of your duct system. Homeowners should be aware of a few things in the HVAC and air duct cleaning process. First, system access to the duct interiors should be made through existing openings when possible. This could be via return grills, duct end caps and existing service openings. Your technician will often begin by breaking contaminants loose from your system, either by hand or using a vacuum, to agitate dirt and dust. This basic step is an important one in the HVAC cleaning process.

The process begins by using patented equipment, including a roto-scraper, which automatically adapts to the duct's shape and diameter while traveling through the duct, removing debris and filth before the vacuuming begins. Next, a powerful push-pull air delivery and collection system transfers the debris from the ductwork to a container. Air is filtered through a HEPA filtration system, removing 99.97% of the particles in the airstream. Filters will either be cleaned or replaced to remove odor and dirt.
