Our Air Duct Cleaning Process

We keep it simple and effective. Here is how we handle cleaning

• 1) Inspection and plan We start with a walkthrough. We check your vents, returns, and the main trunk lines. We look at the air handler, the blower, and the evaporator coil area. We talk through what we see and the best way to clean your system.
• 2) Protect and prep We lay down floor protection and corner guards. We cover supply registers and set up containment where needed. We position a powerful negative air machine and connect it to the duct system. This keeps dust from blowing into your rooms while we work.
• 3) Agitation and removal Using rotary brushes and compressed air tools, we loosen buildup inside each branch line and the main trunk. The vacuum pulls debris into a sealed collection unit. We clean supply and return lines, one by one, and we do it carefully to protect your ducts.
• 4) Vent and register cleaning We remove and clean registers and grilles. We wipe down the boot area and make sure the edges look clean. If needed, we reseat registers and tighten loose screws.
• 5) Optional sanitizing If we find signs of microbial growth or strong odors, we can apply an HVAC approved sanitizer inside the ducts. We use products that are safe for residential use and that are made for HVAC materials.
• 6) System check and filter We reinstall everything, check for proper airflow, and replace your filter if you have a new one available. We can also provide a correct size filter on request.
• 7) Cleanup and review We tidy up, show you before and after results, and share tips on filters, run times, and maintenance.

Air Duct Repair

Loose connections, crushed flex lines, and gaps at takeoffs can waste energy and cause uneven temperatures. If one bedroom near Southdale never cools well, a bent or undersized duct may be the reason. Our team

• Finds and fixes leaks at joints and seams
• Replaces damaged flex duct or old, brittle duct board
• Rehangs sagging runs with proper supports
• Seals boots to the ceiling or wall to stop dirty attic air from sneaking in

Good repairs lead to better airflow, cleaner air, and more even temperatures through your home.

Air Duct Replacement

Some older ducts are past their useful life. If you see insulation falling apart, heavy dust blowing from vents, or you have very loud airflow, replacement might be smarter than repeated patchwork. We assess

• Age and condition of existing ducts
• Layout problems that cause hot or cold rooms
• Duct size compared to system needs
• Insulation levels around ducts in your attic

Then we install new duct runs with proper sizing, sealed joints, and solid insulation. This helps your AC run smoother during those sticky July afternoons.

Air Duct Installation For Remodels And New Spaces

Adding a home office, game room, or bonus space above the garage near Bellaire Boulevard? You may need new supply runs or a return. We plan the route, size the duct, and confirm proper airflow back to the system. That keeps your new room comfortable year round.

Duct Balancing

If you have rooms that are too warm while others feel chilly, you need balancing. We adjust dampers, check supply and return sizes, and measure airflow. Balancing helps

• Fix hot upstairs, cold downstairs issues
• Reduce noisy vents
• Improve comfort across each room
• Lower run times and energy use

We aim for steady temperatures across your home, not just by the thermostat.

Duct Leakage Testing

Leaky ducts often hide in plain sight. Conditioned air escapes into the attic, and dusty attic air gets pulled into your returns. We can perform a duct leakage test to measure how much air is escaping. Then we seal problem spots with mastic and approved materials. Less leakage equals cleaner air and better efficiency.

Air Duct Testing And Ongoing Maintenance

Routine checks can prevent small problems from turning into big ones right before a heat wave. Our maintenance visits can include

• Visual duct inspection
• Airflow readings at key vents
• Filter check and replacement on request
• Basic coil and blower inspection
• Thermostat and run time review
• Advice on seasonal settings and filter schedules

A clean system runs quieter and lasts longer.
