The Action Furnace Duct Cleaning Process

Powerful equipment + the most experienced technicians in the industry = improved air quality.

When you book your appointment, our experienced technicians will clean all of your vents, using high-compressed (200-300 psi) air, and a powerful vacuum that attaches to the furnace.They will clean each of the vents in your home, ensuring that your entire home is free of debris and dust build-up.

Once the ducts are sufficiently cleared they will conduct a full safety inspection of your furnace, and then replace your air filter to ensure that fresh air is easily circulating through your system. This not only ensures better air quality, but also that your heating system continues to function as smoothly as possible in between service calls.

Why Duct Cleaning Matters

Duct cleaning is one of the best ways to not only improve your air quality, but also to ensure that your home comfort system is running as efficiently and smoothly as possible.

How Often Should I Get My Ducts Cleaned?

Depending on the house, your ducts should be cleaned every 1-3 years. This regular cleaning will ensure your home has optimal air quality for you and your family.

Depending on your home’s environment, more dust, dirt, and moisture may be accumulating in your ducts. A common cause of this is if you’re renovating your home or if you have pets. If any of these apply to you, you might want to schedule an annual duct cleaning to prevent excess contaminant build-up.

Signs You Need To Clean Your Ducts

As your home’s ducts are directly related to your air quality, having trouble breathing in your home is usually sign number one.

Another warning sign for your home’s ducts is the smell they give off. Bad smells from your ducts aren’t normal and something you should just get used to. If your ducts are beginning to smell, it could be a sign of dust, dirt, or mold build-up.

Dust mites are also a common allery trigger, so if you’re noticing your allergy symptoms are worsening, this could be another sign it’s time to schedule an appointment.

An Action Furnace duct cleaning will help restore freshness to your home.

Should You Always Schedule A Professional Duct Cleaning?

Yes! Duct cleaning is not something we recommend as a DIY job.

This is because duct cleaning requires special tools, equipment and knowledge to not only ensure a thorough clean, but to make sure your furnace is protected.
