Clean ductwork changes how a home feels. Air moves freely. Rooms balance faster. Dust settles less. Odors fade. Equipment runs quieter. Bills can drop. That is the goal. Ductech keeps the visit simple. We arrive on time. We protect floors and furniture. We clean the entire air path. We measure improvement. We show photos. We leave the space tidy.
Your HVAC moves air all day. That air carries dust, dander, and pollen. It also carries light renovation debris. This material sticks to duct walls. Elbows catch more. Flex runs trap pockets. Over time, airflow falls. Filters load early. Coils foul. Motors run hot. Rooms go out of balance. Cleaning removes that burden. Your system can breathe. Comfort improves. Surfaces stay cleaner longer.
We clean supply trunks and branch lines. We clean return runs and grilles. We brush and vacuum both metal and flex duct. We wipe registers and trim. We tidy accessible plenums we open. We collect debris at the tool with HEPA equipment. No dusty “blow and go.” No harsh fog by default. On request, we can apply a low-odor, eco-friendly sanitizer. Our focus is source removal. Our promise is clear results.
Need service today? Ask for same-day slots. We hold urgent openings when we can. Our work includes a clear service warranty. If parts are needed—access doors, dampers, register boots, or grilles—we install manufacturer-approved/original-spec components. Those carry a parts warranty. Our method is eco-friendly by design: mechanical cleaning plus HEPA capture. Low odor. No harsh chemicals unless you request sanitizer.
Older homes near the Old Quad and university area often have tight chases. Rivermark, Northside, and Agnew include long vertical runs and roof caps. Townhomes near the stadium can hide multiple elbows. Garden-style apartments may limit workspace around stacked units. We bring low-profile fittings, flexible tools, and clean containment. We stage noisy steps around naps and calls. We protect finishes. We keep pathways safe. We leave rooms neat.
Cleaner ducts mean less dust on shelves. Better airflow means faster heating and cooling. Coils stay cleaner. Filters last longer. Motors run cooler. Noise drops. The system works within design limits. That helps it last more years. Breathing feels easier. Your home smells fresher.
Most homes: every 2–3 years.
Pets or allergies: 18–24 months.
After a remodel: right away.
Moving in: clean once to set a baseline.
After our visit, we suggest a cadence based on use, layout, and results. No upsell. Just data and clear advice.
Clear a path to vents. Move small items from under registers. Make sure we can reach the thermostat and the air handler. Unlock gates if access is outdoors or in a garage. Secure pets if needed. That is all. We handle the rest.
Homes differ. So do systems. Price depends on size, register count, access, and debris level. We explain the scope. We give a clear quote. You approve before we start. If we find a new issue mid-visit, we pause, show photos, and discuss options. No surprise fees later.
We serve the entire City of Santa Clara: 95050, 95051, 95052, 95053, 95054, 95055, 95056.
Clothes should dry in one cycle. If not, the dryer vent may be choked with lint and moisture. Backpressure builds. Heat rises. Sensors trip. The laundry room feels hot. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the lint-trap cavity, the transition connector, the in-wall or ceiling run, and the exterior hood. We protect floors and seal where needed. We capture debris with HEPA equipment. We free stuck dampers and confirm full travel in a live test. If parts are crushed or outdated, we can install UL-2158A semi-rigid connectors, proper clamps, and a code-compliant hood. All parts are original-spec and include a parts warranty. Most homes benefit once a year. Homes with long roof runs, multiple pets, or daily laundry often choose every 6–9 months. Many Santa Clara clients pair dryer vent service with ductwork cleaning for a full airflow reset in one appointment. Learn more here.
A clear chimney is as important as clean ducts. Soot and creosote restrict draft and raise fire risk. Our chimney sweep cleaning covers the main flue, smoke chamber, and smoke shelf. We free sticky dampers. We check the cap and crown from safe access. We capture debris with HEPA filtration and keep the room tidy. You get photos, simple notes, and burn tips for cleaner fires. Most homes do well with a yearly sweep; frequent burning may need every 6–12 months. Pairing a sweep with ductwork cleaning makes sense before the cool season: better draft at the hearth and better airflow through the house. For scope, timing, and booking, click here.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Most homes take 2–4 hours. Larger homes or complex layouts can take longer. We confirm a time window on arrival.
Will cleaning reduce dust in my home?
Yes. Removing buildup from supply and return runs reduces particles that recirculate. You should notice less dust on surfaces and cleaner registers.
Do you use chemicals during cleaning?
Not by default. Our method is mechanical brushing and vacuuming with HEPA capture. If you request sanitizer, we use a low-odor, eco-friendly option.
Can you clean without making a mess?
Yes. We set floor protection, seal where needed, and collect dust at the tool. We wipe the work areas and show before/after photos.
How often should I schedule cleaning?
Most homes every 2–3 years. With pets, allergies, or after remodeling, plan 18–24 months. After your first visit, we suggest a cadence based on real results.
Do you offer same-day service in Santa Clara?
Often, yes. Ask for same-day openings. We keep urgent slots when the schedule allows.
