What Happens During a Duct Cleaning Appointment?

If you haven’t scheduled a duct cleaning appointment in the last several years, you need to add it to your list for 2025. It’s a great way to boost your indoor air quality and also help your HVAC system to operate more efficiently. Just give our team a call to schedule your duct cleaning in Madison, FL, whenever you’re ready.

We can even tack the appointment onto your regularly scheduled AC maintenance appointment when we visit your home for that. Keep reading to learn more about the steps we take during a duct cleaning appointment and why it is so beneficial for your home, family, and even your HVAC system.

Assessing Cleaning Needs

Our first step is to inspect your ductwork and determine what exactly needs to be done. Sometimes ductwork isn’t super dirty and just needs a lighter cleaning. Other times, ductwork can be grimy and in need of a deeper clean. 

By assessing the situation ahead of time, we know exactly what tools to bring with us on the day of the service appointment. If your ductwork also needs to be resealed or repaired, that’s something else we can take care of during the same appointment.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

The day of your appointment, we will just clean and sanitize your ductwork. First, we can wipe down the interior surfaces and vacuum out any dust filled up. If you’re particularly concerned about how dirty your ducts are, we can also sanitize the surfaces to kill any germs and bacteria that may be present. This will give you a completely fresh start with better indoor air quality.

Pressurizing and Resealing

Cleaning steps will only go so far if any damage to your ductwork is not also addressed. We can pressurize your network of ducts to identify any holes in these segments or broken seals where pieces connect. Then we can repair or replace your ductwork as needed to ensure that it is completely airtight as a unit.

This helps to ensure that dust and dirt cannot get back into your ductwork through those broken holes and the seals. Plus, more of the air that is heated and cooled by your HVAC system will make it into your home, ultimately lowering your energy costs and saving you money.

If heated and cooled air escapes before reaching the walls of your home, you’re spending more on your energy costs on a regular basis. This makes a duct cleaning and resealing appointment an investment that can actually save you more than the cost of the service appointment itself.
