Duct cleaning or vent cleaning refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.(EPA) Duct cleaning may include the application of chemical biocides designed to kill microbiological contaminants. Sealants and encapsulants may be applied to cover the inside surfaces of the air ducts and equipment housings to control mold growth and prevent the release of dirt particles and fibers from the duct.

Fresh Air Duct Services provides full air duct cleaning services. Before beginning, we will make a thorough assessment of your need and your home's vent system. Based on our findings, we will determine if your home meets the FDA required criteria for vent cleaning. If so we will provide the full services needed to completely clean your ducts in accordance with all the recommendations of the Environmental Protection Agency. You can see the difference annually cleaning your air ducts make by viewing the before and after example on the right.

Not enough evidence has been collected to make a determination, and it is impossible to generalize about each separate condition. However, if someone in your home suffers from allergies or if your vents spew out visible dust particles then it is reasonable to have your air ducts cleaned. It is also reasonable to assume that over time your ducts will become filled with dust, mites and other debris, which if left unchecked might become damp and form the radius for mold growth. And therefore, occasional air duct cleaning can potentially prevent the development of harmful mold growth in your home. If any of these concerns apply to you, give Fresh Air Duct Services a call and we will be happy to make a professional assessment of your air duct cleaning needs
