Your HVAC system is working overtime right now. Every pound of dust, debris, and contamination sitting in your ductwork forces your system to push harder, run longer, and cost you more. That’s not just inefficient—it’s expensive.
Clean ductwork means your system moves air the way it was designed to. Less resistance. Less runtime. Lower energy bills. You’ll notice the difference in your monthly costs, and your equipment will last longer because it’s not grinding itself down trying to compensate for blockages.
The air quality improves immediately. If you’ve got employees dealing with headaches, congestion, or unexplained fatigue, dirty ducts are often the culprit. Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and your HVAC system is either filtering that out or circulating it. Professional vent cleaning removes the irritants your filters can’t catch—mold spores, dust mites, pollen, and particulates that build up over years of operation.
We’ve been cleaning commercial HVAC systems in Browns Summit and throughout Guilford County for years. We’re not new to this, and we’re not learning on your property. We know what accumulates in ductwork, how it affects system performance, and what it takes to remove it completely.
Browns Summit has a mix of older commercial properties and newer builds along NC Hwy 150 and Yanceyville Road. Whether your building dates back to the ’90s or you’re in a newer facility, your ductwork collects the same contaminants—construction dust, outdoor pollutants from nearby traffic, and everyday particulates. We’ve worked in this area long enough to know what we’re dealing with before we even start.
You’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting a crew that shows up with the right equipment, does the work thoroughly, and leaves your system cleaner than it’s been since installation.
We start with a full system inspection. That means checking your supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, and the main trunk lines. We’re looking for buildup, but also for damage, leaks, or anything that’s going to affect performance after we clean. You’ll know what we find before we start the work.
The cleaning itself uses a HEPA-AIRE source-removal system. We’re not blowing dust around or using chemicals that leave residue. We’re pulling contaminants out of the system with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, so nothing gets released into your building. The equipment is commercial-grade, and the process is thorough—every section of ductwork gets addressed.
After cleaning, we can apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment if needed. This isn’t standard for every job, but if we found mold or heavy biological contamination, it’s an option. We’ll walk you through what makes sense for your system. The whole process is designed to keep your operations running—we don’t need to shut down your building, and we don’t leave a mess behind.

This isn’t a surface-level service. We clean the entire HVAC system—supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, drip pans, fan motor, and the air handling unit housing. If air moves through it, we clean it.
Browns Summit’s location near Greensboro and the ongoing development along Interstate 785 means your building is exposed to more airborne particulates than you’d expect. Construction dust, vehicle emissions, and seasonal pollen all get pulled into your HVAC system. Over time, that builds up into layers of contamination that restrict airflow and degrade air quality. We’re removing years of accumulation, not just the surface layer.
You’ll also get a post-cleaning report. We document what we found, what we removed, and any recommendations for maintenance or repairs. If your system has issues beyond cleaning—damaged insulation, disconnected ducts, or failing components—you’ll know about it. We don’t upsell, but we do tell you what’s going on with your system so you can make informed decisions.
This is especially important for businesses in Browns Summit with employees working on-site full-time or hybrid schedules. With over 20% of the local workforce working from home in knowledge-based roles, indoor air quality isn’t just a facilities issue—it’s a productivity issue.
Most commercial properties benefit from duct cleaning every three to five years, but that’s a baseline—not a rule. If your building sees heavy foot traffic, has ongoing construction nearby, or you’ve noticed increased dust or HVAC inefficiency, you might need it sooner.
Browns Summit’s growth along NC Hwy 150 and the development around Interstate 785 means more construction dust and particulates in the air. If your building is near active construction zones or high-traffic roads, your system is working harder to filter that out, and your ducts are accumulating contamination faster than a building in a quieter area.
You should also consider cleaning after any major renovation, water damage, or if you’ve had pest issues. These events introduce contaminants that don’t just sit on surfaces—they get pulled into your HVAC system and circulated throughout the building. If employees are complaining about air quality or you’re seeing dust accumulate faster than usual, that’s a sign your ducts need attention.
Commercial systems are larger, more complex, and require different equipment and expertise. Residential duct cleaning typically involves a single HVAC unit serving a home. Commercial properties often have multiple air handlers, longer duct runs, and more access points, which means the job takes longer and requires more powerful equipment.
The stakes are higher in commercial settings. Poor indoor air quality in a business affects employee health, productivity, and even regulatory compliance. OSHA and EPA regulations mandate routine maintenance of air-handling systems to mitigate airborne contaminants, and failure to maintain your system can result in fines or liability issues if employees develop health problems related to indoor air quality.
We don’t handle residential dryer vents, and we’re not set up for small residential jobs. Our equipment and process are designed for commercial and industrial HVAC systems where performance and compliance matter. If you’re running a business in Browns Summit and your HVAC system serves employees or customers, you need a commercial-grade cleaning, not a residential service trying to scale up.
Yes, but the savings depend on how contaminated your system is right now. If your ducts are clogged with dust, debris, and buildup, your HVAC system is working harder to move air. That means longer runtimes, higher energy consumption, and more wear on your equipment.
Clean ducts reduce resistance, which allows your system to move air more efficiently. You’re not forcing your blower motor to compensate for blockages, and your system doesn’t have to run as long to reach the desired temperature. Commercial customers report energy savings that add up to thousands of dollars annually, especially in larger facilities with multiple HVAC units.
The bigger financial benefit is avoiding premature system failure. When your HVAC system is constantly straining against dirty ductwork, components wear out faster. Replacing a blower motor, compressor, or entire HVAC unit is far more expensive than regular duct cleaning. You’re not just saving on monthly energy bills—you’re extending the lifespan of a major capital investment.
There are a few clear signs. If you’re seeing dust accumulate quickly after cleaning, that’s a red flag. If employees are complaining about stuffiness, headaches, or allergy symptoms that improve when they leave the building, your indoor air quality is compromised. If your energy bills have crept up without a corresponding increase in usage, your system is working harder than it should.
You can also check your vents and registers. Pull off a vent cover and look inside with a flashlight. If you see visible dust, debris, or discoloration, that’s what’s in the accessible part of your system—the areas you can’t see are usually worse. Mold growth, pest droppings, or water stains around vents are immediate indicators that you need professional cleaning.
Another factor is the age and history of your building. If your property was built in the ’90s or early 2000s—common in Browns Summit—and the ducts have never been cleaned, you’re overdue. If you’ve had any water damage, roof leaks, or flooding, moisture can get into your ductwork and create mold growth that won’t go away on its own. Don’t wait until you have a crisis. Address it before it becomes a health or compliance issue.
Yes, when it’s done correctly. We use a negative pressure system with HEPA filtration, which means contaminants are pulled directly into our equipment—not released into your building. There’s no dust cloud, no chemical odors, and no need to evacuate the space during the work.
We schedule around your operations. If you need us to work after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting your business, we can do that. The process itself is contained, and we clean up as we go. You won’t have debris left behind or access panels sitting open overnight.
The only time we’d recommend limiting occupancy is if we discover active mold growth or severe contamination that requires remediation beyond standard cleaning. In those cases, we’ll walk you through what needs to happen and help you plan around it. But for routine commercial duct cleaning, your building can stay operational, and your employees won’t even notice we’re there beyond seeing our equipment in mechanical rooms or near air handlers.
You’ll get a post-cleaning report that documents what we found and what we removed. We also provide before-and-after photos of your ductwork so you can see the difference. If we identify any issues during the cleaning—damaged ducts, disconnected sections, or failing components—we’ll include that in the report with recommendations.
We don’t do high-pressure upsells, but we will tell you if something needs attention. If your system has problems beyond cleaning, you should know about it so you can address it before it becomes an expensive emergency. That’s part of the service—giving you a clear picture of your HVAC system’s condition.
If you’re not satisfied with the work, we’ll come back and address it. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what a properly cleaned system looks like, and we stand behind the work. You’re not getting a crew that rushes through the job to hit a quota. You’re getting experienced technicians who know how to clean commercial HVAC systems correctly the first time.
