Professional Air Duct Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a complete inspection of your air ducts and HVAC system. You’ll see exactly what we’re dealing with before we begin.

Our HEPA-filtered vacuum connects directly to your ductwork. We use compressed air and specialized brushes to loosen debris from every section of your system—supply ducts, return ducts, and all the connections in between.

Everything gets pulled out through our truck-mounted equipment. We clean your vents, registers, and HVAC components like coils and blower assemblies. You’ll see before and after photos so you know the work was done right.

What's Included in Your Cleaning

Your air duct cleaning covers the entire HVAC system. We clean supply and return ducts, all registers and grilles, blower assembly, evaporator coil, and air handling unit components.

Nevada County homes face unique challenges from transported ozone and particulate matter. Our cleaning removes these accumulated pollutants that standard maintenance misses.

We also handle dryer vent cleaning—critical for fire prevention. Lint buildup in dryer vents causes thousands of house fires annually. Our thorough cleaning eliminates this risk while improving your dryer’s efficiency.

Each service includes a final inspection and recommendations for maintaining clean air between professional cleanings.

How often should air ducts be cleaned in Nevada County?

Most Nevada County homes benefit from air duct cleaning every 3-5 years under normal conditions. However, your home might need more frequent cleaning if you have pets, family members with allergies or asthma, or if you’ve experienced water damage or recent construction. Nevada County’s unique position means it gets transported pollution from the Sacramento Valley and Bay Area. This can accelerate dust and particle buildup in your ductwork compared to areas with cleaner outdoor air. If you notice dust accumulating on surfaces more quickly than usual, musty odors when your HVAC runs, or increased allergy symptoms indoors, it’s time for professional cleaning regardless of when you last had service.

Does air duct cleaning really improve energy efficiency?

Yes, when done properly. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 25-40% of energy used for heating and cooling gets wasted due to contaminants in HVAC systems. Clean ducts allow proper airflow, reducing the strain on your system. When debris blocks airflow, your HVAC works harder to maintain temperature. This increased workload shows up directly on your energy bills. Clean systems can reduce energy consumption by 15-30% in many homes. The key is thorough cleaning that removes debris from the entire system—not just surface cleaning of visible areas. Our truck-mounted equipment and HEPA filtration ensure complete removal of airflow-restricting contaminants.

Can dirty air ducts really cause health problems?

Dirty ducts themselves don’t automatically create health issues, but they can worsen existing conditions. If you have asthma, allergies, or respiratory sensitivities, contaminated ductwork circulates irritants throughout your home every time your system runs. Common duct contaminants include dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and bacteria. For healthy individuals, these might cause minor irritation. For sensitive people, they can trigger significant symptoms. Indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. In Nevada County, where we already deal with transported pollution, keeping your indoor air as clean as possible becomes even more important for your family’s comfort and health.

How do I know if my air ducts need cleaning?

Look for visible dust around your vents or debris blowing out when your system starts. If you’re dusting furniture more frequently than normal, or if there’s a musty smell when your HVAC runs, your ducts likely need attention. Check your air filter monthly. If it’s getting dirty much faster than the manufacturer recommends, your ductwork is probably circulating more contaminants than it should. Other signs include uneven heating or cooling in different rooms, higher than normal energy bills, or family members experiencing more respiratory irritation when spending time indoors. Nevada County’s air quality challenges make these symptoms more noticeable.

What's the difference between cheap and professional air duct cleaning?

Cheap services often use basic shop vacuums and only clean what they can easily reach. They might advertise “$99 whole house cleaning” but add charges for every additional service, ending up costing 3-4 times the advertised price. Professional cleaning uses truck-mounted equipment with HEPA filtration, specialized brushes, and compressed air systems. We clean the entire system—not just the main trunk lines—and provide documentation with before/after photos. The difference shows in results. Amateur cleaning might remove surface dust but leaves deep debris that continues causing problems. Professional cleaning restores proper airflow and actually improves your indoor air quality long-term.

Is dryer vent cleaning really necessary for fire prevention?

Absolutely. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that failure to clean dryers causes thousands of house fires annually. Lint buildup in dryer vents creates perfect conditions for ignition—heat, fuel, and restricted airflow. Even if your dryer seems to work fine, lint accumulates in areas you can’t see. This buildup forces your dryer to work harder, increases drying times, and creates serious fire risk. The lint trap only catches about 60% of lint—the rest goes into your vent system. Annual dryer vent cleaning eliminates this risk while improving your dryer’s efficiency. Your clothes dry faster, your energy bills are lower, and you eliminate a major fire hazard from your Nevada County home.
