San Jose Air Duct Cleaning

Local Duct Service in San Jose

Clean ducts change how your home feels. Air moves freely. Rooms reach temperature faster. Dust settles less. Odors fade. The system works easier. Bills can drop. That is the goal. Ductech makes the process simple. We arrive on time. We protect floors and furniture. We clean the entire path. We measure results. We explain everything in plain words. We leave the space tidy.

Why air duct cleaning matters

Indoor air carries dust, pollen, pet hair, and fine debris. It rides the airflow. It sticks to duct walls. Elbows trap more. Flex runs hold pockets of dust. Over time, airflow drops. Filters clog early. Coils get dirty. Motors run hot. Comfort suffers. Cleaning removes that load. Your HVAC can breathe. Air distributes evenly. Your home stays cleaner longer.

Signs you need service

Dust lines around registers.
A musty puff when the system starts.
Weak flow in a few rooms.
Hot and cold spots that never balance.
More sneezing when the fan runs.
Filters that fill sooner than before.
Recent remodeling or drywall work.
Pets that shed year-round.

What we clean (end to end)

We clean supply trunks and branches. We clean return lines and grilles. We brush and vacuum metal and flex. We wipe registers and trim. We tidy accessible plenums. We remove dust, dander, and light construction debris. We contain everything with HEPA capture. No dusty “blow and go.” No harsh chemical fog by default. On request, we can apply a low-odor, eco-friendly sanitizer.

Our process (short and clear)

1. Protect. Shoe covers. Floor runners. Corner guards. We cover nearby items.
2. Inspect. We map the system. We count registers. We note flex vs. rigid duct and tight turns.
3. Set negative pressure. We isolate the air handler. We connect a high-efficiency HEPA collector.
4. Agitate and collect. Rotary brushes or air whips move debris toward the collector.
5. Registers and returns. We remove, clean, and reinstall grilles. No sticky residue.
6. Air handler area. We vacuum accessible dust in the cabinet area we opened.
7. Close access correctly. We install proper doors or caps. No tape patches.
8. Verify. Final visual checks. Airflow or pressure readings where useful.
9. Show you. Photos and simple notes. You see what changed.

About indoor air quality

Cleaning ducts helps airflow. It also reduces dust cycling through the house. If you have allergies, this matters. If you have pets, it matters more. After a remodel, it matters most. Drywall dust and sawdust settle deep inside returns. We remove it at the source. Your filter can do its job again. Your coils can stay clean longer. Your home smells fresher.

Frequency that makes sense

Most homes: every 2–3 years.
Heavy shedding pets or allergies: 18–24 months.
After a remodel: do it right away.
Moving in: clean once to set a baseline.
After our visit, we suggest a schedule. We base it on usage, layout, and results. No upsell. Just data.

Prep before we arrive

Clear a path to vents. Move small items from under registers. Make sure we can reach the thermostat and the air handler. Unlock side gates if access is outdoors or in a garage. Secure pets if needed. That is all. We handle the rest.

Pricing you approve first

Homes differ. So do systems. Price depends on size, register count, access, and debris level. We explain the scope. We give a written quote. You approve before we start. There are no surprise fees later.
