Testing your air ducts can reveal leaks that require repairs or resealing. During the test, we shut all your vents and registers and pressurize the duct system with a special fan device. Our team will monitor a digital manometer to check for pressure drops that can indicate air leaks.
Your air ducts require regular cleanings to prevent your HVAC system from becoming strained. Many particulates can coat your ducts, including hair, dust, skin cells, fibers, chemicals, pollen, and mold. If you don’t free your air ducts from buildup, debris can end up inside your HVAC system, causing problems.
Our technicians perform extensive duct cleaning services, but we must inspect your ducts to ensure they aren’t damaged. We look for signs of cracks and other damage that could impede airflow.
First, our technician creates a small nozzle opening in your air duct near the air handler and seals the opening around the nozzle to ensure no air can escape. Once we close all the vents and registers, the collection vacuum creates negative pressure inside the duct system. This negative pressure zone is essential for sucking all the dirt and debris from your ducts without letting it escape through your vents and into your home.
Our technicians use specialized tools to clean your duct walls, including air whips. Air whips feature a long air hose attached to a nozzle with various openings. Once we thread the air whip in place, turning it on blows high-powered air along the side walls and crevices. We also use motorized brushes and other tools to dislodge the debris.
Ductwork cleaning will take a few hours, especially if you have pets or have neglected air duct maintenance over the years. Clean ducts can even help reduce your family’s allergy symptoms. For optimal HVAC efficiency and air quality, we recommend professional cleanings every three to five years.
