Expert Duct Cleaning Ensures Pure Air, Reliable Airflow

A thorough cleaning is best when it involves every part of your ventilation to secure maximum benefits. This includes the air ducts, the vent openings and grilles, and even your HVAC system’s air handler. Most of the air inside passes through the ductwork at some point, which means airborne particles and contaminants may eventually spread everywhere if overlooked. In addition, it can be difficult to get to hidden air ducts, so professional-grade cleaning frequently uses dedicated tools and equipment capable of removing dirt, debris and other sources of contamination from the deepest sections of your ventilation. Let’s examine what you should expect from duct cleaning in Ellwood City.

• Complete an exhaustive inspection: Before we get to work, it’s beneficial to have a better understanding of the contaminants lurking in your ventilation system. The process kicks off with a detailed inspection so we have an opportunity to identify any problem areas, leaks or other specific concerns. We’ll look inside every air duct as well as the return and supply vents. If something is too deep for us to reach by hand, cameras can be used to conclude the inspection.
• Reduce the ductwork’s air pressure: While we utilize powerful vacuum equipment to remove dust and pollutants lodged in the ventilation, it helps to make the environment of the ductwork more conducive to the cleaning process. We seal up the vents and attach the vacuum to the air handler, establishing negative air pressure and making it easier to clean out as much debris as possible.
• Scrub vents and registers to unlodge dirt and debris: Things like humidity and microbes will sometimes make buildup more difficult to get rid of. Each vent opening is unsealed and scrubbed with tools like brushes and compressed air. This helps break down and remove older debris, making it easier for the vacuum.
• Clean other ventilation accessories: A few parts of your HVAC system aren’t strictly related to the ventilation, but routinely still have an impact on airflow and the overall indoor air quality. We’ll clean or replace the air filter and clean the outdoor unit’s condensate drainage system.
