How We Actually Clean Your Entire System

We start with a complete inspection using specialized cameras. You’ll see exactly what we’re dealing with – dust buildup, debris, any mold issues. No surprises, no upselling based on things you can’t verify.

The cleaning process uses powerful negative air machines and specialized brushes to remove contaminants from every component. We’re not just vacuuming the main trunk lines like some companies do. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, blower compartment, evaporator coil – the works.

Finally, we verify everything is clean with another inspection and provide before-and-after documentation. The whole process takes 3-5 hours depending on your home’s size. We protect your floors and furniture throughout, and you’ll see the difference immediately.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning Summit

Complete HVAC System Restoration

Our service covers everything your HVAC system needs for clean, efficient operation. We clean all supply and return ductwork, every register and grille, the blower compartment, evaporator coil, and air handler. Many companies skip these components, but they’re essential for truly clean air.

Summit’s climate demands year-round HVAC operation. Hot summers, cold winters, and seasonal humidity changes create perfect conditions for dust accumulation and potential mold growth. We address these specific challenges with proper moisture control and thorough contamination removal.

We use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments only when necessary and only after complete mechanical cleaning. Our approach is source removal, not masking problems. Every technician follows strict containment procedures to prevent cross-contamination during the cleaning process.

How often should Summit homeowners have air ducts professionally cleaned?

Most Summit homes benefit from professional air duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but your specific situation might require more frequent service. Homes with pets, family members with allergies or asthma, or recent renovations typically need cleaning every 2-3 years.You definitely need cleaning if you’ve never had it done, just moved into the home, or notice excessive dust despite regular filter changes. Summit’s seasonal temperature swings keep HVAC systems running frequently, which accelerates dust and debris accumulation.During our free inspection, we’ll give you an honest assessment of your current duct condition and recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your specific home and family needs.

What makes NADCA certified air duct cleaning different from other services?

NADCA certification means we follow strict industry standards developed over 30+ years of research and refinement. NADCA-certified companies use source removal methods – we physically extract contaminants rather than just stirring them up or using chemicals to mask problems.Non-certified companies often use inadequate equipment or shortcuts that can make your air quality worse. They might clean only main trunk lines while ignoring branch ducts, or use methods that push debris deeper into your system. NADCA standards require cleaning every HVAC component and verification that work was completed properly.When you hire us, you get technicians trained and tested on proper procedures, specialized equipment, containment protocols, and documentation of our work. It’s the difference between thorough professional service and a quick job that creates more problems.

How can I tell if my Summit home needs air duct cleaning?

Several clear signs indicate your Summit home needs professional attention. Excessive dust throughout your home despite regular cleaning is the most common indicator. Family members experiencing more allergy symptoms indoors than outdoors, or musty odors when your HVAC runs, are also red flags.Visible mold around vents, pest droppings in ductwork, or your system running constantly without maintaining comfortable temperatures all signal problems. Many homeowners don’t realize their ducts need attention because issues develop gradually over years.The most reliable way to know is through professional inspection. We use cameras to show you exactly what’s in your ductwork – no guesswork. During our free estimate, we’ll inspect your system and give you an honest assessment. If your ducts are clean, we’ll tell you. If they need work, you’ll see exactly why.

Is professional air duct cleaning worth the investment for Summit families?
