Duct Cleaning in Salem, OR

What Should You Expect from Our Duct Cleaning Services?

Supply & Return Ducts

These ducts deliver conditioned air to your rooms and pull air back to your HVAC system. Years of dust, pollen, and debris accumulate in these pathways, restricting airflow and spreading contaminants throughout your home. Our professional duct cleaning services directly target this problem. We don't just sweep the surface; we use powerful, specialized equipment to clean the entire duct network, from the air handler connection all the way to the vent registers.

Register & Grille Cleaning

The visible vents in your walls, floors, and ceilings collect dust and grime that gets pulled into your duct system. We clean these components to prevent particles from entering your ductwork and improve overall air circulation.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Lint buildup in dryer vents creates a serious fire hazard and reduces your dryer's efficiency. We thoroughly clean these vents to protect your home and help your appliances run more effectively.

HVAC Component Inspection

While cleaning your ducts, we inspect your system's components for signs of mold, excessive debris, or damage that could compromise your indoor air quality and system’s performance.

What Happens if You Don't Clean Your Air Ducts?

Dirty air ducts pose significant issues for your family's health and your HVAC system's performance. When neglected, years of buildup accumulate in your ventilation system, and this contamination is circulated throughout your home every time your heating or cooling system runs.

Failing to maintain clean ducts can lead to several undesirable outcomes:

• Poor Indoor Air Quality & Health Issues - The circulating contaminants can increase allergy and asthma symptoms. Furthermore, dark and damp ductwork can become a breeding ground for mold growth.
• Reduced HVAC Efficiency & Higher Bills - The buildup reduces the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, which in turn leads to higher energy bills.
• System Degradation - The added strain and contamination can result in a shortened HVAC system lifespan.
• Unpleasant Odors - Contaminated ducts can also be the source of nasty smells that circulate throughout your home.

Regular cleaning and professional maintenance are essential preventative measures to keep these problems from developing.

5 Ways to Maintain Clean Air Ducts Between Professional Cleanings

1. Change Your HVAC Filters Regularly

Replace your air filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type. Quality filters trap particles before they enter your ductwork, reducing the buildup that requires professional cleaning.

2. Keep Your Home Clean

Regular vacuuming and dusting reduce the amount of debris that enters your ventilation system. Pay special attention to areas around vents and registers where dust tends to accumulate.

3. Control Moisture Levels

Use dehumidifiers in damp areas and fix any water leaks promptly. Moisture in your ductwork can lead to mold growth, which requires immediate professional attention.

4. Seal Duct Leaks

Leaky ductwork pulls in dust from attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. Have our professional duct cleaning technicians inspect your ducts for leaks that could be introducing contaminants into your system.

5. Schedule an Annual HVAC Maintenance

Regular HVAC tune-ups catch problems early and keep your system running efficiently. During these visits, technicians can identify when your ducts need professional cleaning.
