HVAC Duct Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a free inspection of your ductwork to show you what’s actually in there. Most homeowners are shocked at what we find. Then we seal off your vents and use powerful negative pressure equipment to pull contaminants out of your entire duct system.

Our NADCA-certified technicians use rotating brushes and compressed air tools to scrub every surface clean, not just blow the debris around. We sanitize the entire system with EPA-approved products that eliminate bacteria, mold, and odors without leaving harmful residues.

Finally, we replace your air filters and test your system to make sure everything’s working properly. The whole process typically takes 3-4 hours, and you can use your HVAC system immediately when we’re done.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning

What's Included in Every Service

Every air duct cleaning includes complete cleaning of your supply and return ducts, main trunk lines, and air handler components. We clean your blower motor, evaporator coil, and drain pan because dirty HVAC components just recontaminate clean ducts.

You get before and after photos so you can see exactly what we removed from your system. We also provide air filter replacement and recommendations for maintaining better air quality between cleanings. Many Nutley homes have older ductwork that needs special attention, and our 40+ years of local experience means we know how to handle every situation properly.

Our service comes with a satisfaction guarantee and warranty because we stand behind our work. You’ll also get a detailed report of what we found and recommendations for keeping your air quality optimal.

Most homes need professional air duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but it depends on your specific situation. If you have pets, family members with allergies or asthma, or you’ve had recent construction work, you might need cleaning more frequently. Homes with smokers or those that generate more dust typically need service every 2-3 years. We’ll assess your specific situation during our free inspection and give you an honest recommendation based on what we actually see in your ductwork, not a sales pitch.
Cheap services typically use shop vacuums or basic equipment that can’t create the negative pressure needed to properly clean your entire duct system. They often clean only what they can reach from the vents, leaving most of your ductwork untouched. Professional NADCA-certified cleaning uses powerful truck-mounted or portable equipment that creates negative pressure throughout your entire system while agitating contaminants with specialized brushes and compressed air. We also sanitize and clean HVAC components that cheap services ignore, ensuring your system doesn’t immediately recontaminate your freshly cleaned ducts.
If your allergies are worse indoors than outdoors, dirty ducts could definitely be contributing to the problem. Air ducts accumulate dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens that get circulated throughout your home every time your HVAC system runs. Professional cleaning removes these contaminants and sanitizes the system to prevent bacterial and mold growth. While we can’t guarantee allergy relief since everyone’s triggers are different, most customers with allergy sensitivities notice improvement in their symptoms after professional duct cleaning, especially when combined with regular filter changes.
Look for visible dust or debris coming from your vents, musty or stale odors when your system runs, or excessive dust accumulation in your home despite regular cleaning. If family members are experiencing increased allergy symptoms indoors, or if your energy bills have been climbing without explanation, dirty ducts might be restricting airflow. You can also remove a vent cover and look inside with a flashlight – if you see buildup on the duct walls or debris in the bottom, it’s time for professional cleaning. We provide free inspections to show you exactly what’s in your ductwork.
Professional air duct cleaning for an average Nutley home typically ranges from $400-$800, depending on the size of your home, number of vents, and condition of your ductwork. Be wary of companies advertising extremely low prices like $99 specials – they often use bait-and-switch tactics or don’t have proper equipment. Quality service requires specialized equipment, certified technicians, and several hours of work. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises. Remember, you’re investing in your family’s health and your HVAC system’s efficiency, not just a cleaning service.
