What to Expect From an Air Duct Cleaning Service Provider

  • Inspection and Assessment: The service provider will start by conducting a thorough inspection of your HVAC system and air ducts. They will assess the extent of dust, debris, and potential mold or mildew growth.
  • Clear Explanation of the Process: A reputable service provider will explain the cleaning process to you, including the tools and techniques they will use to clean the air ducts. They should also answer any questions you may have about the service.
  • Use of Proper Equipment: A professional air duct cleaning company will utilize specialized equipment such as high-powered vacuums, brushes, and air whips to dislodge and remove dirt and contaminants from the ducts
  • Containment Measures: To prevent the spread of dust and debris throughout your home, the service provider should use containment measures, such as sealing off vents and registers, during the cleaning process.
  • Thorough Cleaning: The main goal of the service is to eliminate dust, allergens, mold spores, and other pollutants from the air ducts to improve indoor air quality. This process may also involve cleaning other HVAC components, such as coils and grilles.
  • Recommendations for Maintenance: After the cleaning, the service provider may offer recommendations for ongoing maintenance and how to keep your air ducts clean in the future.

Black Mold Removal

Black mold in your air conditioner unit can be dangerous, and you’ll need to remedy it as soon as possible because it can cause many black mold exposure symptoms. Your home’s HVAC system circulates the air, causing mold spores to spread throughout your home, even if they only grow in one small section. This means no room in your home is safe from the toxic chemicals found in mold spores. 

Dust In Air Duct Vents

Your ductwork is connected to your central HVAC furnace or air handler. Supply ducts carry treated air (air that has been heated or air conditioned) to living spaces. These are most commonly called vents, as the grill mounts to walls, ceilings and floors, and air blows out of them and into the room. Return ducts bring “spent” air back to the air handler to be heated or cooled again and are most easily identified by having an air filter placed before the air enters the air handler or furnace. Duct cleaning is a way to ensure that allergens and other pollutants are removed from the air you breathe. This is important because the EPA has identified indoor air pollution as a major health risk. When ducts get old or too degraded to be cleaned, they need to be replaced.
