Air duct cleaning is a process that eliminates dirt, dust, and other debris from the air ducts of a home or business. It is essential to make sure that all components of the HVAC system are cleaned to maximize the advantages of cleaning and avoid re-contamination (NADCA, EPA). Professional air duct cleaning companies use specialized vacuuming equipment to properly clean and disinfect air ducts. Our Air Duct Cleaning Miami experts suggest that all residential air ducts be cleaned every 5 years or sooner if they are found to be dirty after a professional inspection with air duct cameras.
For commercial companies, we recommend an air conditioning duct chamber inspection to be performed annually in combination with an air controller, and the cleaning of the ducts and air conditioning coils should be done every 3 to 6 years. Many of the top HVAC cleaning companies combine air duct cleaning with other HVAC services, such as cleaning related parts around your oven. Stanley Steemer has NADCA certified technicians who use vacuums with a HEPA filter to clean ducts, the oven evaporator coil, and fan covers and ventilation grilles. The cost of air duct cleaning can vary depending on the size of your home, the size of your HVAC system, the size of your ducts, the number of ventilation grilles, the level of pollution, the climate region, and the accessibility of the ventilation grilles. Professional air duct cleaning typically takes two to five hours, depending on these factors.
In general, proper air duct cleaning involves cleaning the entire air conditioning system every 2 to 5 years. When selecting an air duct cleaning company, it is important to choose a reputable company that uses high-quality equipment and has experience cleaning air ducts. This will ensure that your air ducts are cleaned properly. The price of an offer may not include the cost of cleaning the entire system.
