Residential Air Duct Services

Comprehensive HVAC System Maintenance

Professional air duct cleaning addresses your entire HVAC system, not just the visible ducts. This includes supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, and the air handling unit itself.

Arlington homes face unique challenges with seasonal pollen, humidity fluctuations, and older construction that can trap contaminants. Many local homes built in the 1950s through 1980s have ductwork that’s never been professionally cleaned.

Our service includes antimicrobial treatment when necessary, filter replacement recommendations, and identification of any ductwork issues that could affect air quality or system efficiency. You also receive guidance on maintaining clean air between professional cleanings.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Arlington?

Most Arlington homes benefit from professional air duct cleaning every 3-5 years under normal conditions. However, several factors might require more frequent cleaning.If you have pets, family members with allergies or respiratory conditions, or have recently completed home renovations, annual cleaning may be necessary. Homes with smokers or those located near construction sites or busy roads also accumulate contaminants faster.The best approach is having your system inspected annually by a NADCA-certified technician who can assess your specific situation and recommend the optimal cleaning schedule for your home.

What's the difference between DIY cleaning and professional service?

DIY duct cleaning kits only reach the first few feet of ductwork, leaving the majority of your system untouched. These household tools lack the power to remove compacted debris that’s been building up for years.Professional equipment includes truck-mounted vacuum systems that create negative pressure throughout your entire duct system. Specialized brushes and agitation tools reach every section of ductwork, including bends and joints where debris commonly accumulates.Our NADCA-certified technicians also inspect for damage, improper installation, or code violations that homeowners typically miss. If your ductwork runs more than 10 feet or has multiple bends, professional cleaning is really the only way to ensure complete contaminant removal.

Will air duct cleaning help with my allergies?

Clean air ducts can significantly reduce allergy symptoms by removing the accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores that trigger reactions. When these allergens build up in your ductwork, they continuously circulate through your home every time your HVAC system runs.Professional cleaning eliminates these contaminants at their source, often providing immediate relief for allergy sufferers. Many of our customers notice reduced sneezing, congestion, and respiratory irritation within days of service.However, air duct cleaning works best as part of a comprehensive approach that includes regular filter changes, humidity control, and addressing any moisture issues that could promote mold growth in your system.

How much does air duct cleaning cost in Arlington?

Professional air duct cleaning in Arlington typically ranges from $300-$800 for an average home, depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level. Factors affecting cost include the number of vents, ductwork length, and whether additional services like antimicrobial treatment are needed.Beware of companies advertising extremely low prices, as these often indicate “bait and switch” tactics where the final bill includes unexpected charges. As a reputable NADCA-certified company, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.The investment pays for itself through improved energy efficiency, extended HVAC system life, and better indoor air quality. Many customers find their heating and cooling costs decrease after professional cleaning removes airflow restrictions.

What should I expect during the cleaning process?

Professional air duct cleaning typically takes 3-5 hours for an average home. Our technicians will protect your flooring and furniture before beginning work, then connect powerful vacuum equipment to your ductwork through access panels.You’ll hear the equipment running and may notice some vibration as brushes and agitation tools work through the system. The process is contained within your ductwork, so there’s no mess in your living areas.Our technicians will show you before-and-after photos of your ductwork and explain what we found. After completion, you should notice improved airflow from your vents and may detect a fresher smell when your HVAC system runs.

How do I know if my ducts need cleaning?

Several signs indicate your Arlington home needs professional air duct cleaning. Visible dust buildup around vents, musty odors when your HVAC system runs, or increased allergy symptoms are common indicators.If you notice dust settling on furniture shortly after cleaning, or if your energy bills have increased without explanation, contaminated ductwork could be the culprit. Homes that haven’t been cleaned in over 3-5 years, or those with pets, smokers, or recent renovations, likely need attention.The most reliable way to assess your system is through professional inspection. Our NADCA-certified technicians can examine your ductwork with specialized cameras and provide honest recommendations based on actual conditions, not sales pressure.
