Air duct cleaning

Air duct cleaning in Los Angeles County, after a look inside

Before any cleaning, a crew opens the registers, looks inside and shows you what is there. EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning, so the first question is whether yours need it at all.

Reasons people ask about their ducts

Some of these are good reasons to look inside. Light dust on its own is not one of them.

Dust keeps coming out of the vents
A light film of dust in ducts is normal, and EPA has found no evidence that it is a health risk. Dust that visibly blows out of the registers is different, and so are ducts packed with debris. EPA lists both as reasons to clean.
We just finished a remodel
Sanding and drywall dust can end up inside open ducts. If it is heavy and you can see it, cleaning is a reasonable call. If you cannot, a look inside settles the question.
I think there are mice or rats in the ducts
EPA names vermin in the ducts as a reason to clean them. Cleaning takes out what they left, but it does not close the gap they came through. Fix that too, or the problem returns.
Smoke and ash from a wildfire got into the house
After a fire, Los Angeles County Public Health says a home with central heating and cooling should consider cleaning the ducts and moving to a MERV 13 filter. For heavy soot, residue or smell, it says to consult a professional cleaning or restoration contractor.
I think I see mold
Please do not guess in either direction. EPA says suspected mold should be confirmed by an expert or a lab, and whatever feeds it, such as moisture, has to be fixed first or it comes back.

How a duct visit goes

You tell us why you called
The reason decides whether cleaning makes sense, so tell us what you saw, whether that was dust, a remodel, a smell, pests or smoke.
We look inside before anything is cleaned
A crew opens the registers and looks at as much of the duct as can be seen. If all we find is light household dust, we tell you that too.
You see what we see
If there is something worth cleaning, such as heavy debris or signs of vermin, we show it to you first. EPA advises asking any provider to show you the contamination.
Clean what needs it
We clean the registers and the stretches of duct that have the problem. Wet or moldy insulated duct is the exception. EPA says it cannot be cleaned effectively and should be replaced, and that is HVAC work.
Look again together
Afterward we show you the same spots so you can judge the difference. If moisture or pests caused the mess, we say so, because clean ducts get dirty again while the cause stays.

Dust in the air is not dust in your ducts

Dust is part of life in Los Angeles, and a Santa Ana wind brings plenty of it outdoors. That says nothing about the inside of your ducts, so only a look can tell you about yours.

EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning, only as needed. It says cleaning has never been shown to prevent health problems, and it sees little evidence that cleaning only the ducts improves system efficiency.Source
A South Coast air quality advisory on February 3, 2026 said Santa Ana winds with gusts to 45 mph could push dust to Unhealthy levels in parts of South Coastal Los Angeles County.Source

Before you book

Shine a flashlight into a register and look. Write down or photograph anything that worries you, such as debris, droppings or dark patches. After a fire, FEMA’s smoke-damage guide says not to run the HVAC air handler until most of the soot has been cleaned up.

Questions about air duct cleaning

Is air duct cleaning worth it?

As a routine job, EPA says no. It can be worth it when there is visible mold, vermin or a duct clogged with debris. So it depends on what is in yours, and a look is how you find out.

How often should I clean my air ducts?

EPA does not set a schedule. It says to clean when there is a reason, not by the calendar, so a fixed interval you see quoted is not an EPA number.

Will duct cleaning help my allergies?

We will not tell you that it does. EPA says duct cleaning has never been shown to prevent health problems, so if allergies are the worry, ask your doctor first.

I just moved in. Should I have the ducts cleaned?

Start with a look. If the registers and the visible duct look clean, you have no reason to clean the system. If you find heavy debris or signs of pests, call.

Do you spray anything inside the ducts?

Ask every provider that question, us included, and get the answer before any work starts. EPA says no chemical biocides are registered for internally insulated ducts and it does not recommend routine sealants, so you are entitled to know what would be applied and why.

I particularly liked the way the lead cleaner described the PH balance of the solutions that they were using on our carpets. The acidic neutralizing rinse makes sure the floor doesn’t feel crunchy or sticky when it is dry. That extra step means our floors are very silky and totally residue-free.

My kids have turned the giant living room ottoman into a trampoline and it's forever soiled with imprints. Steam cleaning the hefty cloth removed all the dark grime and restored the original bright blue hue. The furniture which is the focus is clean and the living space appears a lot tidier today.

Thick outdoor seats were covered in tree algae and bird poop. Power-washings of the tough material killed any dirt from outside. We are pleased to be hosting barbecues from our clean chairs again.
