A clean air duct is an efficient air duct. Regular maintenance and cleaning offer several benefits:
- Improved energy efficiency: Clean air ducts allow for optimal airflow, helping to lower energy costs and ensure your home reaches your desired temperature more quickly.
- Longer HVAC lifespan: When ducts are dirty or clogged with debris, your system has to work harder to generate sufficient airflow. Keeping your air ducts clean puts less stress on your HVAC unit and helps you enjoy more years of uninterrupted performance.
- Better indoor air quality: Regular HVAC cleaning helps remove contaminants and allergens from the air you breathe.
- Helps remove household dust: The service reduces the need to dust as frequently, leading to a cleaner, healthier home.
How Does Air Duct Cleaning Work?
Air duct cleaning is a three-step process that removes dirt, dust, and other debris from your HVAC system’s ductwork. Expect our service professionals to perform:
- Inspection: When you call Aire Serv for air duct cleaning services, we start with a thorough inspection. We’ll assess the current state of your air ducts before making maintenance recommendations.
- Vacuuming: Next, we use a powerful HEPA filter vacuum to remove contaminants from your evaporator coils, vent covers, and blower. A brush system is also commonly used to remove build-up.
- Sanitation: This step helps prevent organic growth in the future.
- Compressed air cleaning: Once most of the contaminants have been removed from the air ducts, we’ll blow compressed air through your system to flush out any remaining dust and dirt that is captured in our vacuum system.
This process results in cleaner ductwork and fewer allergens floating through the air.

Common Contaminants Found in Air Ducts
If you experience symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and nausea, you may want to learn more about indoor air quality and invest in a thorough air duct cleaning.
The following contaminants may be present in your ductwork:
- Mold: Mold can often be found growing within particular duct systems exposed to moisture. Mold in your HVAC system is particularly dangerous because it can spread and circulate throughout your home. If you believe mold is growing in your duct system, schedule an HVAC inspection as soon as possible to mitigate potential health issues.
- Dust: If you or someone in your family struggles with asthma or allergies, the dust in your duct system can impact their comfort. Dust collects naturally over time in every HVAC system and is often comprised of human skin, hair, pet dander, and dust mites.
- Dirt: Air ducts exhibiting signs of wear and tear or systems that haven’t been sealed properly are at a higher risk of dirt contamination. Regular inspections, repairs of poorly sealed ducts, and proper duct installation can help prevent this form of contamination.
- Pet dander: If you own a pet, your HVAC system can be clogged with hair and dander, aggravating allergies and reducing the quality of your indoor air. If you’re moving into a home that previously had pets, a thorough duct cleaning can provide a fresh start.
- Rodents or bugs: Occasionally, rodents and bugs find their way inside residential ductwork systems. Their presence can create blockages, cause damage, and spread germs throughout your ducts. If you hear pests crawling in your air ducts, call an HVAC professional immediately.
