12 Steps to a Professional Air Duct Cleaning Job

Step 1. Protection
Job one is the protection of your home and property.  We begin by placing a heavy vinyl tarp over your driveway.

Step 2. Monster Vacuum
Our goal is to remove all dirt and dust.  The truck-vac system is among the most powerful systems available in the duct cleaning industry.

Step 3. Trained Technicians
There are no sub-contractors.  Our Specialists are experienced in the most effective cleaning tools and latest procedures.

Step 4. Complete Set-up
Work will not begin until the floors, doorways and all corners are protected against dirt or scratching.  Protective shoe covers are worn at all times.

Step 5. Negative Air Pressure
The 8’ vacuum hose is attached to both the supply and return sides of the system.  During the cleaning, all the dirt and debris is pulled directly into the vac truck.

Step 6. Maximizing Vacuum
All registers are covered to stop the airflow and blowback.  As each run is cleaned, the cover is first removed maximizing the airflow in that duct line.

Step 7. Scrub the System
Pulling large volumes of air toward the truck, we now send our scrubbing tools down each supply run to remove every trace of dirt, dust and debris.

Step 8. Cold Air Returns
One all supply registers are clean, we move to the return air system.  This includes all of the cold-air covers throughout the house.

Step 9. Trunks & Plenums
All trunk lines (supply) and plenums (return air) are cleaned with our special scrubbing tools.  Specially designed plastic plugs insure there’s no airflow loss. 

Step 10. Furnace Interior
The cleaning is completed with our air washing and vacuum of the drop, filter box, blower fan, cabinet interior and combustion chamber.

Step 11. Sanitizing the System
Our customers appreciate the sanitizing and deodorizing of the trunk lines and plenums in the furnace area.  The clean fresh smell is a great finishing step.

Step 12. Wrapping it Up!
New galvanized access panels are installed over the openings created for the vacuum hose.  Floors are swept and all debris is removed.
