Frequently asked questions

Answers about residential and commercial air duct / HVAC cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, sanitizing & deodorizing, scheduling, safety and documentation.

General & Residential

How often should I clean my air ducts?

Have an annual inspection and clean as needed. Pets, renovations, visible dust/odors, or allergy/asthma concerns shorten the interval.

How long does a typical residential duct cleaning take?

Most single-system homes take 2–4 hours depending on size, access, and contamination level.

Do you clean the whole system or just the vents I can see?

Full-system source-removal: supply, return, trunks, blower, and accessible coil housing under negative pressure — verified with before/after photos.

What exactly is included in a proper residential air duct cleaning?

Mechanical agitation (brushes/air whips/compressed air) with negative-pressure collection, full-system coverage, sealing access openings, and a photo-verified result.

Will there be dust in my house?

We contain work areas, protect floors/furniture, and keep the system under negative pressure to capture debris.

How should I prepare for the visit?

Clear 3–4 ft around the air handler and registers, secure pets, make parking available, and ensure power/outlets are accessible.

Dryer Vent

What does dryer vent cleaning include?

End-to-end cleaning, airflow/back-pressure testing, roof/wall termination check, and photo proof. Most jobs take 45–90 minutes.

How often should I clean dryer vents?

Annually for most homes; sooner for long runs, roof exits, heavy laundry use, or slow dry times / heat / odors.

Do you use foil or plastic transition duct?

No. We recommend smooth, rigid metal transition ducting for better safety and performance.

Commercial

Do you offer after-hours commercial work?

Yes. Night/weekend windows, coordination of COIs and access, phased plans by zone/floor, and a photo-verified handover.

How do you verify results for commercial jobs?

Photo logs by system/zone, notes on access and issues found, and a brief turnover report. Pressure/airflow checks can be added on request.

Can you work across multiple buildings/floors?

Yes. We phase the plan by building/stack/floor with daily turnovers and clear barricades/tenant notices where required.

Can you provide COI, W-9, and safety documents?

Yes. We provide COI/W-9 upon award and align site safety to your facility protocols (PPE, containment, lifts/roof safety, LOTO coordination).

Scheduling & Payment

How soon can you schedule?

We typically have same-week availability. For commercial projects, we align with your operating hours and blackout periods.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on system size, access, contamination, and scope. We provide a clear quote after assessment or site visit.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cards, ACH, or invoice as specified in your quote. Commercial projects may include deposits/progress draws.

Do you offer bundle pricing?

Yes. Air duct cleaning + dryer vent, or multi-unit service can be bundled for savings.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice for residential appointments. Commercial jobs may require longer notice based on proposal.

Safety & Standards

Do you follow a standard?

Yes. We align our work with ACR — The NADCA Standard and OSHA-safe practices.

Are your technicians background-checked and insured?

Yes. Crews are background-checked and insured. COIs are available to clients and property managers on request.

How do you protect my home or facility?

We lay floor protection where needed, cover nearby items, maintain negative pressure, and tidy up before leaving.

Do you perform mold/asbestos/lead abatement?

No. Those are specialized services outside our scope. If we suspect such materials, we'll pause work and recommend appropriate remediation.

Add-ons: Sanitizing & Deodorizing

Is sanitizing mandatory after duct cleaning?

No. Mechanical cleaning is the core. Sanitizing/deodorizing is optional and used for specific odor or microbial concerns after cleaning.

Do you use chemicals?

Cleaning is primarily mechanical. Sanitizing/deodorizing is optional and only applied after proper source-removal, using EPA-registered solutions per label.

Do you guarantee odor removal?

We guarantee proper source-removal cleaning. Persistent odors may indicate other causes (e.g., moisture intrusion or non-HVAC sources) that we'll help identify.

What if I'm not satisfied?

Contact us within 7 days; we'll review and may schedule a reasonable remedy such as a focused re-visit per our Terms.
