Why AC Duct Cleaning Matters
Annual duct cleaning is important for both new and older residential and commercial buildings. Newer homes are sealed up tight as a drum, so they have no fresh air pathways to exhaust the pollutants. Older homes are leaky, and the HVAC system may operate in a negative pressure, which can pull dirt, debris, and fiberglass from the attic or crawl space directly into your home.
At Total Comfort Heating and Air, our duct cleaning professionals will remove unhealthy contaminants from the inside of your HVAC equipment and attached ductwork. We’ll thoroughly clean the system, including these critical components:
- Heat exchanger
- The evaporator coil
- Air vents
- VAV boxes
- Blowers, motors and housings
- Condensate pan and drain lines
- The plenum
- The air handler
On the job site, our trained technicians will peek inside your equipment and ductwork using specially designed cameras and mirrors. They’ll get into the deepest and most inaccessible areas where debris, dirt, and grime accumulate.
When the prep work is finished, an industrial-grade vacuum is attached to the ductwork with an airtight collar. The machine is very powerful, and it sucks all the accumulated dirt, hair, debris and other pollutants out of your HVAC system and deposits them in a sealed container on our truck. Many duct systems have years of caked-on filth, so we use compressed air whips and mechanical brushes to dislodge the gunk without damaging duct material.
