Hear from Our Customers
Your HVAC system circulates air through your home 5 to 7 times per day. When ducts are clean, you’re not breathing the same dust, pollen, and pet dander over and over again.
Clean ducts mean your system doesn’t work as hard to push air through clogged passages. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that proper HVAC maintenance, including air duct cleaning, can cut energy bills by 20-30%. That’s real money back in your pocket.
You’ll notice less dust settling on furniture and fewer allergy flare-ups. Your home stays cleaner longer, and everyone breathes easier. Clean ductwork also extends your HVAC system’s lifespan by reducing wear and tear on components.
Apex Air Duct Cleaning & Chimney Services has been cleaning HVAC systems in Short Hills and throughout Essex County for over four decades. We’re one of the few companies in New Jersey with triple certification: NADCA for air duct standards, CSIA for chimney safety, and NFI for fireplace expertise.
Short Hills homeowners deal with unique air quality challenges. The area’s AQI levels run higher than average, and the affluent community’s large homes often have complex HVAC systems that need professional attention. With median home values exceeding $1.9 million, residents expect and deserve top-tier service.
We understand what works in this market. We’ve cleaned systems in everything from historic estates to modern builds, always following NADCA standards that ensure thorough contaminant removal. Our licensed and insured technicians carry specialized equipment designed for comprehensive HVAC cleaning.
The process starts with a complete inspection of your HVAC system. Our technicians check for visible dust buildup, mold growth, and any structural issues in the ductwork before we begin. This inspection determines the best cleaning approach for your specific system.
Next, we use specialized agitation devices like brushes, air whips, and compressed air to break loose contaminants from all surfaces inside your system. This isn’t just the ducts – we clean the entire HVAC system including coils, fans, heat exchangers, and air handling units. Every component gets attention.
We place the entire system under continuous negative pressure using powerful HEPA-filtered vacuums. This prevents contaminants from spreading throughout your home while ensuring everything gets pulled out of the system. We finish with a cleanliness verification to confirm the job meets NADCA standards, complete with before-and-after photos.

Professional air duct cleaning covers your entire HVAC system, not just the visible ducts. This includes supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor and housing, and the air handling unit housing.
In Short Hills, where homes often have complex multi-zone systems and high-end HVAC equipment, this comprehensive approach matters. Many local properties have been renovated or expanded over the years, creating unique ductwork configurations that require experienced technicians who understand both older and newer system designs.
Our service includes detailed documentation of the work performed, before-and-after photos showing exactly what was removed from your system, and verification that cleaning meets NADCA standards. This documentation is valuable for warranty purposes, insurance claims, and future maintenance scheduling. You’ll also receive recommendations for maintaining optimal air quality between cleanings.
