How We Actually Clean Your Air Ducts

We start with a thorough inspection of your entire HVAC system, not just the visible parts. Our technicians use specialized cameras to identify problem areas, assess contamination levels, and determine the best cleaning approach for your specific system.

Next, we seal off your home’s air supply and return vents to prevent contaminants from spreading during cleaning. We use powerful vacuum systems and agitation tools to dislodge and remove years of accumulated dust, debris, and allergens from every component of your system.

The actual cleaning involves both mechanical brushing and high-powered suction. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, and your HVAC unit itself. After cleaning, we sanitize the system with EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments when necessary and conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets NADCA standards.

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

Most Newark homes need air duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but this depends on several factors specific to your situation. If you have pets, family members with allergies or asthma, or if you’ve recently completed renovation work, you might need more frequent cleaning.Newark’s urban environment and older housing stock can accelerate contamination buildup. Homes near busy streets or industrial areas may need cleaning more often due to increased dust and pollutants. We recommend having your ducts inspected annually to determine when cleaning is necessary.Signs that indicate you need cleaning sooner include visible dust around vents, musty odors when your HVAC runs, increased allergy symptoms, or higher than normal energy bills.
