Novak Heating and Cooling – Duct Cleaning Service

Did you know that indoor air quality affects everything from your health and comfort to the overall energy efficiency of your home? Over time, your home’s air ducts can accumulate dust, pet dander, allergens, and other debris, circulating these pollutants each time your HVAC system runs.

At Novak Heating and Cooling, we offer professional air duct cleaning services that help you enjoy fresher air, lower energy bills, and a longer-lasting HVAC system. Our trained and certified technicians use cutting-edge equipment to deliver deep, thorough cleanings that restore your ductwork to optimal condition, allowing you to breathe easier.

Dirty air ducts are not just unsightly but can also be harmful to your health and wallet. As your system circulates air through your home or office, it also moves the particles inside those ducts. These can include:

• Dirt, dust, and pollen brought in from outdoors
• Pet hair and dander, if you have animals in the home
• Pest remains or droppings from insects or rodents
• Construction debris from home repairs or remodeling

Removing these contaminants can reduce allergies, asthma symptoms, and unpleasant odors while improving your HVAC system’s performance and lifespan.

If you’re unsure whether it’s time to clean your air ducts, watch for these common signs:

• Excessive dust around vents and on surfaces
• Increased asthma or allergy symptoms indoors
• Unexplained spikes in energy bills
• Musty or stale odors when the HVAC is running
• Uneven airflow or inconsistent temperatures in different rooms

At Novak Heating and Cooling, we follow a comprehensive duct cleaning process to ensure that every component of your HVAC system is addressed.

1. Initial Inspection

We begin with a detailed visual inspection to assess the condition of your ductwork and identify potential problems early on in the process. Access to ductwork is generally gained through registers, grills, and possibly temporary openings in the ductwork.

2. Source Removal Cleaning

Using powerful reverse airflow systems and specialized tools, we remove all built-up contaminants from the duct walls. A special vacuum is used to create negative pressure in the ducts, preventing debris from circulating back into the home.

3. Blower and Coil Cleaning

We clean your HVAC system’s blower motor, coils, and air handler to enhance performance and reduce strain on the system. Special tools, along with compressed air, help agitate and dislodge dust and clogs.

4. Final Inspection

During the air duct cleaning process, protective materials are placed in the home to prevent dirt and dust from entering your living space. Once cleaned, our team will once again inspect your air ducts to ensure the result is satisfactory.

It is recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years. However, if you have pets, allergies, recent construction, or if someone in your home has a respiratory condition, more frequent cleanings, about every 12 to 18 months, may be beneficial.
