Top-rated independent heating and cooling across California's Central Valley and the Sierra foothills
Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning is the removal of settled dust, insulation debris and construction grit from the supply and return ducts running through your attic or crawlspace, and we do it for homeowners across California and Nevada. Most people call us after a remodel, after rodents get into the ductwork, or when registers puff visible dust every time the AC starts. Call us and describe what you are seeing at the vents. We will look at the duct system before we quote any cleaning work.

What the job actually involves
We start at the air handler or package unit and work outward. A vacuum with sealed collection gets hooked to the trunk line, then each branch is agitated with a brush or air whip so the debris travels toward the vacuum instead of into your rooms. Registers and grilles come off and get washed separately. The blower compartment and return box get cleaned too, since that is where most of the dust load collects in valley homes with heavy outdoor grit.
What we check while we are in there
Duct cleaning gives us a rare look inside a system, so we use it. We check for crushed or kinked flex, disconnected boots dumping conditioned air into the attic, torn insulation jackets, and rodent damage. We look at the filter slot to see whether it seals or lets dusty attic air bypass the filter entirely. If we find a leak or a collapsed run, we tell you, because cleaning a duct that is pulling attic air in will only stay clean for a season.
How we decide cleaning is the right call
Not every dusty house needs duct cleaning, and we will say so. We recommend it when there is visible debris in the ducts, evidence of rodents or nesting material, drywall dust from remodel work, or smoke and water damage. If the real problem is a bad filter fit, leaking return, or a failing blower, cleaning the ducts will not fix the complaint. In those cases we address the cause first and revisit the ducts afterward if they still need it.

How often do air ducts need cleaning?
There is no fixed schedule. Most homes go many years without needing it. Remodeling, rodents, smoke or water damage are the usual reasons, not simple age or ordinary household dust.
Will duct cleaning help my allergies?
It can help if the ducts hold real debris, but we will not promise it. Filtration quality, duct leakage pulling in attic air, and outdoor dust often matter more than the ducts themselves.
Do you clean the dryer vent too?
No. We work on heating and cooling ductwork only, meaning supply runs, returns, boots and the blower compartment. Other venting is outside what our crews handle.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. We ask what changed, when it started, and what the thermostat reads. That tells us whether to bring parts for a cooling fault or a heating fault.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant pressures, and the outdoor unit. You get told what failed and why, in plain words, before anything is replaced.
- Step 3
Repair and verify
We make the repair, then run the system and measure the results at the vents. If a part needs ordering, we say so and give you a realistic window instead of a vague promise.

Why homeowners call us
- Built for real valley heatWe work in areas where afternoons sit above 110 degrees and systems run for months without a break. That shapes how we size repairs, check capacitors and contactors, and judge whether a compressor is genuinely done.
- Attic and package unitsPlenty of homes across the region run attic air handlers or rooftop package units instead of a garage furnace and a side-yard condenser. We are used to the access, the duct runs, and the drain issues those setups bring.
- Dust and debris we expectAg dust, cottonwood fluff and grass clippings pack condenser coils and starve a system of airflow. We clean what we find and show you the difference, rather than adding refrigerant to a unit that just could not breathe.
- Heating too, not only ACFurnace repair, heat pump faults and no-heat calls get the same attention as summer work. Ignition problems, cracked or failing components and short cycling all get diagnosed before we recommend anything larger.
