Duct Cleaning
Properly cleaning a ductwork system is essential for maintaining a healthy and efficient HVAC system. When ductwork leaks air and returns inadequate airflow to the HVAC unit, your system becomes less energy-efficient. To make matters worse, filthy or infested air ducts will fill the air you breathe with pollutants, allergens, and dirty airborne particles.
Fortunately, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® can professionally clean your ductwork. Our locally owned franchises provide expert air duct cleaners near you who are available around the clock to come to your location, examine your ductwork, and restore your system to pristine condition.

Why Do You Need Air Duct Cleaning?
As dirt particles accumulate in the air, indoor air quality goes down. If left unattended, these particles could affect the efficiency of your entire HVAC system. Air duct cleaning is vital in eliminating dirt particles and preventing them from recirculating throughout your home. One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® air duct cleaning service offers plenty of benefits, including:
1. Getting Rid of Dust Mites and Reducing Allergies and Asthma Issues
Over time, air ducts gradually accumulate allergens, contaminants, and micro-organisms, such as:
- Pet dander
- Bacteria
- Pollen
- Mildew/mold spores
- Vermin/insect droppings
Air duct cleaning removes these airborne particles, which can trigger respiratory problems, severe allergies, or asthma.
2. Enhancing Airflow and Removing Unpleasant Odors
Air duct cleaning removes dust, dirt, and debris buildup, facilitating better airflow through your HVAC system. This increases the amount of fresh air that goes in, replacing stale air and removing unpleasant odors. An improved airflow also facilitates better cooling and ventilation.
3. Increasing the Efficiency and Lifespan of Your HVAC System
When ductwork is backed up with dust, dirt, and grime, the airflow between the heating unit/air conditioner and the vents will be negatively affected. This causes your HVAC system to work harder, longer, and less efficiently. Air duct cleaning effectively removes blockages in your HVAC system, helping it do more with less work.
4. Refreshing and Improving the Air of Your Home
The airborne scents of cleaning agents, paint fumes, mold, cigarette smoke, dust, and dirt can all get trapped in air ducts. When a furnace or air conditioner runs, these odors will circulate throughout the house. Thorough air duct cleaning can significantly freshen up the air in your home.
5. Increasing Savings Long-Term
According to ENERGY STAR, about20% of an HVAC unit's air supply is lost to leaky, clogged, and damaged vents and ducts. This forces your HVAC system to produce more hot or cold air to satisfy your thermostat's settings, causing monthly energy bills to increase. A well-maintained air duct saves you money over time by reducing energy costs and eliminating the need for frequent repairs or replacement of your HVAC system.
6. Keeping Away the Bugs and Vermin
Accumulated dust and debris are potential food sources for bugs and vermin. They attract rodents and produce nesting materials that could lead to infestation. Regular air duct cleaning makes your ducts less appealing to pests. It also helps avoid the need to examine your ductwork to repair broken seals, patch up holes, and replace faulty vent protectors.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Process
One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning follows a systematic approach to air duct cleaning. Upon arrival, our technicians will inspect your duct system's access points and current condition to customize a game plan. Utilizing a vacuum unit, we will create negative air pressure in the air ducts to ensure dirt and other debris do not spread. We will then remove pollutants and icky buildup. Before leaving, our professional air duct cleaners will also complete a final inspection of the air ducts for quality assurance.
Duct Inspection
We visually inspect the air ducts for two reasons:
- To assess the amount of dirt and debris in the ducts before and after cleaning. Some locations have cameras that can probe deeply into the ducts if necessary.
- To check for leaks or kinks. We also excel at repairing and replacing damaged ductwork.
Vacuuming
We use heavy-duty HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove dust and debris from your ductwork. The vacuuming process entails:
- Hooking up our vacuum close to the air handler (the heart of the HVAC system) by cutting an access hole, inserting the vacuum's hose, and tightly sealing where they connect.
- Creating negative air pressure by tightly sealing each register with an adhesive cover.
- Removing trapped particles in the ducts using negative pressure, electric brushes, and vacuum power.
Cleaning Other HVAC System Components
Our air duct cleaning service also includes cleaning other components of your HVAC system, including the following:
- Air handler
- Blower motor
- Filters
- Vents
- Registers
- Evaporator coil
- Drain pan
With clean parts, a fresh air filter, and eco-friendly disinfectants, we can exponentially improve the air quality in your home.
Air Duct Cleaning Cost
Several factors impact the price of air duct cleaning, including:
- The type of ductwork
- Number of crew members required
- Amount of labor involved
- Level of contamination
- Presence of vermin/insect infestation
- The ductwork system's size and accessibility
- Environmental factors
