Duct Cleaning FAQs
When is duct cleaning valuable?
Renovation If you are doing any interior renovations, your ductwork may need to be cleaned. – especially if there is asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, or drywall dust. If your ducts were not blocked off properly during renovations, they may be filled with (possibly dangerous) dust and debris.
Animal or Insect Infestation If there’s evidence of animal or insect infestation or nesting in your ducts or HVAC system, you will want to have the animals removed then clean the ductwork thoroughly.
Mold Ducts and your entire HVAC system should be cleaned if there is visible mold growth inside the ductwork.
Contaminants If noticeable debris, pet hair, odors, or other contaminants are being released into the room through the ducts.
Illness You may want to consider having your ducts cleaned if someone in your family is suffering from an unexplained allergy-related illness, and you’ve taken every other possible step to decontaminate your home.
What's involved in a thorough duct cleaning service?
Professional duct cleaning services use specialized blowers, vacuums, and brushes to clean out the supply, intake, registers , grilles and return ducts throughout your home.
For superior IAQ, consider adding a thorough cleaning of the furnace/ air handler, fans, motors, and coils of the HVAC system.
What should a thorough duct cleaning cost?
Ads for '$99 Duct Cleaning Specials' are scams. At most a few ducts will get a very cursory vacuum – at worst, you’ll end up talked into a much more expensive package without the information you need to make an informed decision. A high-quality duct and HVAC cleaning on a typical Canadian single family home should cost upwards of $200-$300. It should take several hours with sophisticated equipment, and involve a skilled workers.
What kind qualifications should I look for?
First of all, look for a company that offers a Brush System, not just vacuum system. Technicians should have a G1, G2 or G3 Gas License to work with Furnace & Duct Systems.
How can I get the best indoor air quality?
Every step helps. If you are serious about better IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) then Yes. After your Ducts & Furnace are cleaned, installing an Air Purification System will deliver IAQ 100 times better than a regular 1" Furnace Filter.
($2500 or less for average home complete IAQ package including Duct, Furnace Cleaning and permanent CleanEffects Purifier).
Is there a difference between intake ducts and supply ducts?
Intake or return ducts (returning air to the heating/cooling unit) are likely to be dirtier than supply ducts (delivering heated or cooled air to rooms), since they often don’t have filters.
