Why Hiring A Certified Cleaner
Is So Critical.
Some companies just clean the vent registers and coils, leaving your ducts full of dust and debris, some are carpet cleaners trying to use their carpet vacs to clean ducts which does not work at all. A lot them don't even know any better and may think they've done good work, but if the entire system isn't cleaned, the air flowing through it won't be.

Having the Right Equipment means,
You Need BIG Hoses .
HVAC Cleaning requires a lot of high powered air flow, which needs large 8" to 10" diameter hoses to carry the suction needed to do the job right.
You also need a large 2 stage air compressor which is always powered by gas.
When having your ducts cleaned make sure they have the big hoses ( for suction) and the small air lines which will be hooked up outside to a large gas air compressor
( compressed air ).
The suction is provided by a high powered portable duct vacuum inside. This hose then attaches to your main ducting, next we blast compressed air into the ducts to stir up and push the dust and debris towards the vacuum pressure.
If someone ever comes to your place with a big red shop vac with a spinning brush, a carpet cleaning vac, a central vac with a clear plastic box, or any small hose similar to your house vacuum then you can know they don't have the right tools for the job.
FAQS
1. How Often Should You Get Your HVAC System Cleaned ?
You should always make sure your AC unit ducts are cleaned right after construction or renovations , then usually every 3 to 5 years after that. If you have pets with a lot of hair or someone suffers from asthma or is sensitive to dust particles in the air then you may consider having your system cleaned more often.
2. How Critical is the equipment that you use ?
Its very Critical that Professional Air Duct Cleaners use the right equipment and methods. The equipment needs to consist of a high powered vacuum system which always uses 8" or larger hoses along with a high powered air compressor with a min 175 PSI and 20 CFM.
If a duct cleaner shows up using a shop vac with spinning brushes, carpet cleaning vac or a "house central vac system" on wheels then that is the wrong equipment and the wrong method for professional duct cleaning.
3. What is the right method for cleaning an HVAC System?
A Professional duct cleaner will tie into the duct system with the large high powered vac system ( 8" to 10" wide hose ) and with the vacuum pressure sucking they will blast compressed air into the vents and ducting to push dust and debris back to the vacuum. After all the ducts are blown, the AC unit itself must be cleaned. Merely changing a filter or cleaning a part of the system is not enough to ensure clean air. The entire system must be cleaned.
