What’s involved in the our duct cleaning process?
- The first thing our two-man duct cleaning team will do is evaluate the job, inspect your ducts and locate vents.
2. Our licensed HVAC technician will cover your current filter in plastic to catch any potential contaminants during our cleaning.
3. Next, they cut an access hole into your ductwork and attach our negative air machine to ensure all dirt and debris from your ducts will be removed. The negative air machine is attached to our Hepa filter containment system, which keeps the contaminants removed from your ducts from entering your home.
4. Our technician assistant will clean the registers and grilles and use the “whip” to dislodge all dirt and dust from the return ducts, supply ducts, and vent boots (the metal piece that is visible inside your vent) beginning with the highest vents in the home, and working our way down to ensure a thoroughly cleaned system. *We will carefully remove your registers and grilles. If needed, we will use a razor knife to prevent paint peeling during the register or grille removal. After the cleaning is completed, we will caulk as necessary to seal any gaps created.
5. Meanwhile, our licensed HVAC technician will remove the furnace or air handler blower and clean it (this is only done on the deluxe duct cleanings).
6. After the duct cleaning is complete, we will replace your registers and vent covers.*We carry replacement registers and grilles at an additional charge if you’d like to have them replaced at this time. Please request before the day of the cleaning*
7. Next, they will plate off the access hole in your ductwork and ensure there are no leaks.
8. We then will use an environmentally friendly, anti-microbial, sanitizing mist in the newly cleansed duct, to ensure bacterial and microbial growth has been eliminated. Our sanitizing mist also leaves a fresh, clean scent.
9. After cleaning is completed, we will turn the system back on and run it for approximately 5 minutes to ensure everything is working properly and confirm that all dust and particles are removed from your system.
