Palo Alto Cleaning Ducts Near Me

 Local Ducts Cleaning Service in Palo Alto

Air should move quietly and evenly through your home. If rooms feel stuffy, dust returns fast, or vents smell musty at start-up, your system may need professional care. Ductech offers duct cleaning services in Palo Alto that restore comfort and efficiency. We clean the entire path — supply trunks, branch runs, and returns — while keeping the process safe and tidy. Our approach is eco-friendly, we use HEPA containment, and every job is backed by a service warranty.

Why duct cleaning matters

• Health. Dust, pollen, and dander collect in ducts and circulate with every cycle.
• Comfort. Clear ducts balance airflow and reduce hot or cold spots.
• Efficiency. Clean ducts mean less strain on fans, coils, and motors.
• Savings. Energy bills drop when airflow is restored.
• Peace of mind. No musty odor or visible dust streaks on registers.

Our cleaning process

1. Protection. Shoe covers, runners, and covers for nearby furniture.
2. Inspection. We trace the duct layout and note access points.
3. Negative pressure. A high-power HEPA collector is attached to the system.
4. Agitation. Rotary brushes or air whips loosen debris.
5. Capture. All dust and debris are pulled into containment.
6. Registers & returns. We remove, wash, and reinstall grilles.
7. Air handler. Accessible areas are vacuumed.
8. Final proof. Photos and airflow readings are shared with you.

Additional Services — Dryer Vent Cleaning

A clogged dryer vent slows laundry, raises energy use, and increases fire risk. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the lint-trap cavity, connector, full in-wall run, and exterior vent. We use rotary tools and HEPA capture, then verify airflow with live testing. Unsafe foil ducts can be upgraded to UL-2158A semi-rigid connectors and code-compliant hoods. Parts are original-spec and carry a parts warranty. Most homes need service once a year; high-use homes may need every 6–9 months. Learn more here.

Additional Services — Chimney Sweep Cleaning

Fireplaces collect soot and creosote that block draft and raise risk. Our chimney sweep cleaning includes the flue, smoke chamber, and smoke shelf. We free sticky dampers, check cap and crown, and vacuum debris with HEPA equipment. The room stays clean. Burn seasoned wood and warm the flue at start-up to reduce buildup. Most homes need sweeping yearly; frequent burning requires every 6–12 months. Details are here.
