Our Los Angeles Air Duct Cleaning Services

Our duct cleaning involves cleaning the various components of the heating and cooling system, such as the supply and return air ducts, the registers, the heating and cooling coils on the heat exchanger, grilles, diffusers, fan housing and motor, condensate drip pans and the entire air handling housing.

We use stiff bristle brushes that spin against the debris stuck inside, high-powered compressor whips, and vacuum machines made for professional air duct cleaning services.

In addition to cleaning your air duct, we also apply our three-step quality control that involves:

  1. Inspecting accessible internal surfaces of the duct work to ensure cleaning is thorough and successful.
  2. Test running the HVAC system to confirm that the system is fully functioning.
  3. A final walk-through with vacuum and duster to ensure all work areas are as clean.

Reasons for Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles

While your home air duct cleaning is associated with potential health benefits, we often recommend duct cleaning for indoor air quality if there are:

  1. Substantial Mold Growth – when the duct system has developed significant microbial growth inside the hard surface or other heating and cooling system components.
  2. Clogged and Dusty Vents with large amounts of dust and debris, especially after renovations or just dust accumulated over time, require air duct cleaning.
  3. Rodent Infestationin the duct and HVAC system comes with fecal spores that contaminate your air quality, besides the rodents destroying ductwork.
  4. After Renovations all interior home renovation creates a lot of dust and dirt, and that dirt often gets into your HVAC system. After any home renovation, you should schedule your air duct cleaning appointment with us.

Our Los Angeles Air Duct Cleaning Process

Using a compressed air cleaning process and large, high-powered power vacuum equipment, we will clean your ducts without making a mess in your home.

The four-phase process we use is designed to remove dust, dirt, and debris, flushing them out of the system and into our power vacuum.

Pre- Inspection

Our air duct technician will inspect the duct system on-site, check all the access points to the ductwork, assess its condition, identify any damaged parts, and decide on the best cleaning technique for your home.

Preparation and Setup

We will ensure that your home is set for air duct cleaning, ensuring that all vents and returns are accessible, and laying protective floor covers and corner guards where necessary. On the floor directly below each register and grille, we lay a protective cloth where we can place your register and our tools without dirtying your carpet.

Air Duct Cleaning

Using the Shop-Vac, HEPA Vacuum, or Vacuum and Brush method, we set up the vacuum unit to create the negative air pressure that stops dirt and debris from scattering in the house.

Final Walk-through Inspection.

Once cleaning is done, another air duct inspection is required to ensure that nothing is missed and the ducts are thoroughly cleaned.

Air Duct Inspection

As a Los Angeles air duct cleaningservice, we also understand your ducts need general maintenance. You could use regular air duct inspection services to properly diagnose internal duct and HVAC issues, including hot or cold spots, reduced air flow, or suspected damage or leaks.

Our air duct inspection entails running a camera through the ducts using special equipment that navigates around sharp bends, intersections, and otherwise inaccessible areas without cutting through walls.

We also check for the following:

  1. Leaky duct connection
  2. Return leaks
  3. Supply leaks
  4. Leaks at the furnace and filter slot and duct tape failure
  5. Furniture blocking register
  6. Fallen duct insulation
  7. Kinks in ductwork restricting airflow

Air Duct Cleaning and Sanitizing

In addition to our Los Angeles air duct cleaning services, we also recommend and offer air duct sanitizing to eliminate bacteria, fungi, germs, and other microorganisms on duct surfaces. Our technicians take the utmost care to sanitize and disinfect only in safe and effective ways, including:

  1. Using only EPA-approved chemicals.
  2. Recommending sanitation and disinfection when mechanical cleaning is inadequate to stop bacteria or other airborne contaminants.
  3. Sanitizing metal ducts only and other non-porous parts of your duct system.
  4. Maintaining proper ventilation.
  5. Advise you on protective and maintenance actions before, during, and after air duct cleaning and sanitizing.

Air Duct Repair

Over time, your ducts eventually wear out and start leaking from small tears or punctures in the ductwork and cracks when ducts pull away from the air handler or each other. If not detected and addressed on time, these defects will reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning and heating systems and allow dust, dirt, and vermin to contaminate your air stream.

After the cleaning is complete, our technician will allow you to inspect your system visually. You will be given full access to see that we completed the job to your liking.

No. The process draws all the dirt from the air ducts back into a high-powered vacuum system so it doesn’t create any mess in the house.

The HVAC system uses a series of ducts to circulate air throughout a home. A dirty home air duct disrupts airflow, impeding the system’s ability to cool or heat a space. The HVAC system must then work harder, causing it to use more energy to keep a home comfortable.

As a result, our residential air duct cleaning removes clogs, dirt, and debris, allowing the equipment to operate normally, thus enhancing energy efficiency.

There are three major parts to an air system:

  1. The supply and return grills;
  2. The interior surfaces of the supply and return vents; and
  3. The furnace/air conditioner air handler.

We clean all three components. If only one or two of the components are cleaned, the contaminants from the 3rd component will rapidly contaminate the ones cleaned.
