Your family notices the difference immediately. The air feels fresher, and those lingering dust particles that settled on furniture daily start disappearing. Your HVAC system runs quieter and more efficiently, which shows up on your energy bill within the first month.
People with allergies and respiratory sensitivities often see the biggest improvement. No more morning sneezing fits or that stuffy feeling when the heat kicks on. Your dryer starts working like it should again, clothes dry in one cycle instead of two or three.
The peace of mind is real too. You know your family is breathing cleaner air, and you’ve eliminated a major fire hazard from lint buildup in dryer vents. Your home’s air quality becomes something you can actually trust.
We’ve been serving Brentwood, CA and the greater Sacramento area for over a decade. We understand the unique air quality challenges that come with living in Northern California, from seasonal pollen to wildfire smoke that finds its way into your home’s ductwork.
Jorge Mendoza, our owner, personally oversees every job to ensure you get the thorough, professional service your family deserves. We’re not a national chain sending out whoever’s available. When you call us, you’re working with local professionals who live in this community and understand what Brentwood homeowners need.
Our transparent pricing means no surprise fees or high-pressure upselling. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and we stand behind our work with the kind of service that’s earned us a 5-star reputation throughout the area.
We start with a complete inspection of your ductwork and HVAC system, using cameras to show you exactly what’s built up inside. No guesswork, no scare tactics, just the facts about what needs attention.
Our powerful vacuum system creates negative pressure throughout your duct system while we methodically clean each section with specialized brushes and compressed air. We clean every register, return vent, and accessible ductwork, removing years of accumulated dust, allergens, and debris.
For dryer vents, we disconnect your dryer and clean the entire path from the unit to the outside exhaust, removing dangerous lint buildup that could cause fires. We also check for any damage or blockages that might affect performance.
After cleaning, we’ll show you the difference and provide maintenance tips to keep your system running efficiently. The whole process typically takes 3-4 hours, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Every air duct cleaning includes complete cleaning of your supply and return ducts, all registers and grilles, and your HVAC unit’s accessible components. We clean the blower compartment, evaporator coil, and replace your air filter with a high-quality option.
Brentwood’s location in the East Bay means dealing with specific air quality challenges. Seasonal pollen from surrounding hills, dust from Central Valley winds, and occasional smoke from regional wildfires all find their way into local ductwork. Our cleaning process addresses these regional contaminants that generic services often miss.
We also include dryer vent inspection and cleaning, which is crucial for fire prevention. Many Brentwood homes have longer dryer vent runs due to home layouts, making professional cleaning even more important. We remove all lint buildup and check for proper airflow to keep your family safe and your dryer running efficiently.
Most Brentwood homes benefit from air duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but several local factors might require more frequent service. If you have pets, family members with allergies, or if you’ve done recent home renovations, every 2-3 years is better.
Brentwood’s unique location means dealing with seasonal pollen from surrounding hills and occasional wildfire smoke that can settle in ductwork. Homes near construction areas or with older HVAC systems might need attention more frequently.
The best indicator is your home’s air quality and HVAC performance. If you notice more dust on surfaces, allergy symptoms when the system runs, or higher energy bills, it’s time for professional cleaning regardless of when you last had service.
Brentwood’s modern homes are built to be energy-efficient with tight seals that trap indoor air pollutants. Unlike outdoor air that constantly circulates, your indoor air can become stagnant, allowing dust, pollen, and other contaminants to accumulate in ductwork.
Local factors make this worse. Seasonal pollen from East Bay hills easily finds its way indoors, and Central Valley winds carry dust that settles in your HVAC system. When wildfire season arrives, smoke particles can infiltrate and remain in ductwork long after the air clears outside.
Your HVAC system circulates the same air throughout your home 5-7 times daily. If that air is passing through contaminated ducts, you’re constantly reintroducing pollutants into your living space. Professional cleaning removes these accumulated contaminants and restores your system’s ability to provide clean air.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry. If loads that used to dry in one cycle now need two or three, lint buildup is restricting airflow. You might also notice clothes coming out hotter than usual or a burning smell when the dryer runs.
Check the outside exhaust vent while your dryer is running. You should see strong airflow and lint being expelled. If there’s little to no airflow, or if lint is accumulating around the outside vent, you have a blockage that needs professional attention.
Other warning signs include the dryer getting extremely hot during operation, excess lint inside the drum after cleaning the filter, or a musty smell in laundry. These indicate restricted airflow that’s not only inefficient but potentially dangerous. Professional cleaning removes all lint buildup and restores proper ventilation.
Yes, contaminated ductwork directly impacts indoor air quality, which affects everyone in your home differently. People with asthma, allergies, or respiratory sensitivities typically notice symptoms first, experiencing increased coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing when the HVAC system runs.
Children and elderly family members are often most affected because they spend more time indoors and their respiratory systems are more sensitive to airborne irritants. Even healthy adults can develop symptoms over time from constantly breathing recirculated air that’s passing through dirty ductwork.
The contaminants we remove from Brentwood homes include dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and sometimes bacteria or viruses that have accumulated over years. When your HVAC system circulates air through contaminated ducts, these particles are distributed throughout your living space with every heating and cooling cycle.
DIY duct cleaning with store-bought equipment only addresses what you can reach from registers, which is typically less than 10% of your ductwork. Most contamination occurs deep in the system where household vacuums and brushes can’t reach effectively.
Professional cleaning uses powerful truck-mounted or portable equipment that creates negative pressure throughout your entire duct system. We have specialized tools to clean every section of ductwork, including main trunks, branch lines, and HVAC components that homeowners can’t access safely.
The biggest difference is thoroughness and safety. We know how to clean without damaging ductwork, how to properly seal and reconnect components, and how to identify problems that might need repair. DIY attempts often miss the majority of contamination and can sometimes damage ductwork or HVAC components, leading to expensive repairs.
Professional air duct cleaning in Brentwood typically ranges from $300-800 for most homes, depending on the size of your house, number of vents, and extent of contamination. Homes with larger HVAC systems or multiple units will be toward the higher end of this range.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. During our initial consultation, we’ll inspect your system and give you an exact quote based on your home’s specific needs. This includes all labor, equipment, and basic filter replacement.
Be wary of extremely low prices, which often indicate bait-and-switch tactics common in this industry. Quality equipment, trained technicians, and thorough cleaning require proper investment. Our pricing reflects the professional service and results you’ll receive, not the cheapest option that cuts corners on quality.
