Overview

What is residential air duct cleaning?

In a house, the ductwork is hidden in the attic, walls and floors, which is why buildup goes unnoticed for years. Pet hair wraps around register boots, kids’ rooms collect lint and toy debris, and returns in hallways pull dust from the busiest parts of the house. Two-story homes often have a separate system for each floor, each with its own buildup.

Our residential service is designed for occupied homes: shoe covers and floor runners, protected furniture near work areas, and a negative-pressure setup that keeps dust inside the system. You get a walkthrough of the photos at the end and a new filter in the system.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning is part of our air duct cleaning services. Many customers book it together with air duct cleaning.
