When your air ducts are properly cleaned, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Your home stops feeling dusty even after you’ve just cleaned. The air feels fresher, and family members with allergies or asthma often experience fewer symptoms.
Your HVAC system runs more efficiently too. Clean ducts mean better airflow, which means your system doesn’t have to work as hard to heat or cool your home. Most homeowners see lower energy bills within the first few months after cleaning.
You’ll also have peace of mind knowing that years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and other contaminants are no longer circulating through your living spaces every time your system runs.
We’ve been serving Burbank and the greater Sacramento area for over a decade. Owner Jorge Mendoza is directly involved in every job, ensuring you get personalized service and quality work.
We understand how Burbank’s older housing stock affects your HVAC systems. Many homes here were built in the 1940s and 1950s, and these systems need specialized attention. We’ve seen every type of ductwork configuration and know exactly how to clean them properly.
Our transparent pricing means no surprises when we’re done. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for upfront, and we stand behind our work with warranties on repairs.
We start with a complete inspection of your ductwork system, checking accessible areas and using cameras to see inside ducts where problems often hide. You’ll see exactly what we find and what needs attention.
Next, we seal off all vents except the one we’re cleaning, then use powerful negative air pressure equipment to pull debris out while agitating it loose with specialized brushes. This isn’t a quick vacuum job – we’re removing years of buildup that’s been accumulating in your system.
Finally, we clean your HVAC components including coils, blower, and air handler. When we’re finished, we’ll show you the difference and explain what you can do to keep your system running efficiently between cleanings.

Your air duct cleaning includes complete cleaning of all accessible ductwork, supply and return vents, registers, and HVAC components. We also clean your dryer vent to prevent fire hazards – something especially important in Burbank’s older homes where lint buildup can be dangerous.
We use professional-grade equipment that reaches much further than homeowner tools. Our negative air pressure machines and specialized brushes can clean the entire length of your ducts, not just the first few feet you can see.
For Burbank homeowners, we pay special attention to the unique challenges of older ductwork systems. Many homes here have original ductwork that requires gentle but thorough cleaning methods to avoid damage while still removing decades of accumulated debris.
Most Burbank homes need air duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but this can vary based on several factors. If you have pets, family members with allergies, or if you’ve done recent renovations, you might need cleaning more frequently.
Burbank’s older housing stock often means ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in decades. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned and your home was built before 1980, it’s definitely time. You’ll likely be surprised by how much debris has accumulated over the years.
Signs you need cleaning sooner include visible dust coming from vents, musty odors when your system runs, or family members experiencing increased allergy symptoms at home.
Those “$99 whole house specials” you see advertised are usually bait-and-switch tactics. They’ll either add huge upcharges once they’re at your home, or they’ll do a surface-level cleaning that doesn’t actually remove the debris from your ducts.
Professional air duct cleaning uses powerful negative air pressure machines and specialized equipment to clean the entire length of your ductwork. We’re not just vacuuming the first few inches you can see – we’re removing years of buildup throughout your entire system.
Real air duct cleaning takes 3-6 hours for most homes and costs between $450-$1,000 depending on your system size. If someone’s offering to clean your entire house for under $200, they’re not doing the job properly.
Clean air ducts can definitely improve your HVAC efficiency and lower energy costs. When ducts are clogged with dust and debris, your system has to work much harder to move air through your home.
This is especially true in Burbank’s older homes where ductwork may have decades of buildup restricting airflow. After cleaning, most homeowners notice their system reaches desired temperatures faster and doesn’t run as long to maintain comfort.
While results vary by home, many customers see a noticeable reduction in their energy bills within the first few months after cleaning. The improved efficiency also means less wear and tear on your HVAC system, potentially extending its lifespan.
Yes, when done properly by experienced professionals who understand older ductwork systems. Many Burbank homes have original ductwork from the 1940s and 1950s that requires specialized cleaning techniques.
We’ve worked on hundreds of older homes and know how to clean these systems without causing damage. This includes using appropriate pressure settings, selecting the right cleaning tools for different duct materials, and identifying areas that need gentle handling.
Some older ductwork may have asbestos-containing materials or other concerns, which is why it’s important to work with experienced professionals who can identify potential issues before they become problems.
Absolutely. Dryer vent cleaning is actually more critical for safety than air duct cleaning. Lint buildup in dryer vents causes thousands of house fires every year, and it’s a particular concern in older homes like many in Burbank.
Most homeowners should have their dryer vent cleaned annually, especially if you do a lot of laundry or have a long vent run. Signs you need cleaning include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint appearing around the outside vent.
We include dryer vent cleaning in our service because it makes sense to address both systems at once. It’s more efficient and ensures your home’s air circulation systems are all working safely and efficiently.
Look for companies that provide detailed, written estimates explaining exactly what’s included. Legitimate companies will inspect your system first and give you an honest assessment of what needs to be done.
Be wary of door-to-door sales, extremely low prices, or high-pressure tactics. Professional air duct cleaning requires specialized equipment and takes several hours – it’s not something that can be done cheaply or quickly.
Ask about their experience with your type of home and ductwork. In Burbank, you want someone who understands older housing stock and has the right equipment and techniques for these systems. Check references and make sure they’re properly licensed and insured.
