What is Duct Cleaning?

Some HVAC systems deliver conditioned air throughout the home through an air duct system. Over time these air duct systems can become dirty and will require cleaning. We use a combination of compressed air, extreme vacuum and chemicals to clean, disinfect and deodorize the duct system.
