Residential Duct Cleaning
What is Duct Cleaning?
Duct cleaning refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.

Do you need to have your air ducts cleaned?
Is there visible dirt, dust, construction material, pet hair/dander inside your hot air supply vent or your cold air return vent?
Is there an infestation of rodents, nests or insects?
Do you own an animal that sheds?
Have you just bought a house?
Have you had major renovations done recently?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may need to have your ducts cleaned. A residential air duct cleaning job takes a few hours and is a clean and routine process.
Powerfully equipped to remove dust and debris:
Our Truck mounted vacuum units deliver 15,000 to 25,000 cubic feet per minute of suction to create negative pressure in your ducts. An eight-inch vacuum hose is used to apply suction to isolated zones. Compressed air in combination with the scorpion whip package or power ball delivers up to 250 pound per square inch of compressed air to the interior of the ductwork. Dust and debris is removed from the duct system, zone by zone, until the entire system is thoroughly cleaned.
Dryer Vents
Help Your Clothes Dryer Be More Efficient
A dryer vent needs to be clean to allow your dryer to function efficiently and safely. Improper
venting or a clogged vent will result in longer drying times, wasted energy, and excessive heat build-up leading to premature wear on the machine. In some cases, reduced airflow caused by lint build-up causes overheating. When this happens, the high temperature limit safety switch cycles on and off. Most switches weren't designed to cycle on and off continuously, which may cause them to fail.
The best way to avoid problems is to maintain proper exhaust flow to the outside
Duct Sealing
Leaks in the ductwork for heating and cooling systems can be costly through loss of warm/cool air flow. Ductwork often leaks through seems at the joints between the ductwork and other components in the system, and/or through other connections such as elbows. Sealing the ductwork prevents the warm air (cool air) from leaking allowing more of the heated (cooled) air to reach each room. Duct Sealing is a cost effective way to improve a heating and cooling system's efficiency.
Duct Balancing
Duct Balancing will ensure proper air flow to each room in a house. Closed, partially opened and fully opened dampers control the air flow to each vent. Balancing these internal mechanisms will balance the air flow throughout a home for consistent temperature.
Duct Insulation
New home owners may want to consider a duct insulation upgrade. Due to our harsh climate, duct insulation can be a very cost effective way to improve the efficiency of a heating and cooling system, reduce energy bills and lengthen the heating and cooling system's life. The heated air cools (cool air warms) as it flows throughout the duct system often causing some rooms to be much cooler (warmer) than others. Duct Insulation prevents the loss of heat (cool air) as the conditioned air travels through the duct system, allowing the system to have shorter run cycles and better heat (a/c) distribution. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the energy cost savings can be as much as 20%, making duct insulation a wise decision.
Best case scenario, your clothes take longer to dry and your hydro bill increses
Worst case you have a fire.
