Duct Cleaning

 

Who should have their ductwork cleaned?

 Most people are concerned about the quality of the air they breathe.  This is one good reason to have your ductwork cleaned by Schneiss Heating, Air Conditioning & Duct Cleaning.  If you have had your house insulated recently, have pets, smoke or have allergies, you should check into having your ducts cleaned. Contaminants floating in the air are pulled into the ductwork through your cold air registers when your furnace or air conditioner runs.  A good way to check if your ductwork needs to be cleaned is to take your return air grills off and look inside. You may be surprised by the amount of dirt lurking in your ductwork.

 Process of duct cleaning

Residential air duct cleaning takes only several hours and is a clean process. We attach our vaccum with 5250 CFM onto your ductwork, we insert a hose with a whip and a ball down into your ducts to loosen any dirt or debris that is stuck inside the ductwork, As this is loosened it is pulled through the ductwork into the vacuum, leaving no mess in your house. We then spray a sanitizing/deodorizing solution throughout your ductwork.
