When your ductwork is clean, your HVAC system doesn’t have to fight through layers of debris just to do its job. That means it runs less, breaks down less, and costs you less.
You’ll notice the difference in your energy bills first—the U.S. Department of Energy reports that 25-40% of heating and cooling energy gets lost through dirty ductwork. That’s money leaving your building every single day.
But it’s not just about cost. Clean ducts mean fewer allergens, less dust settling on surfaces, and air that doesn’t trigger respiratory issues. If anyone in your home or office deals with allergies or asthma, contaminated ductwork makes it worse. Professional duct cleaning removes what vacuums and filters can’t reach—the mold spores, dust mites, and particulates that build up over years of use.
Your HVAC equipment lasts longer too. When components aren’t coated in grime, they operate efficiently and accumulate fewer hours of strain. Fewer breakdowns, fewer emergency repairs, and a system that keeps running when you need it most.
We’ve been cleaning commercial and residential ductwork in Alamance and the surrounding Greensboro area for over 30 years. We’re NADCA-certified, which means our team follows the industry’s most rigorous standards for air system cleaning—not shortcuts, not guesswork.
Our technicians hold ASCS and CVI certifications. We use equipment designed to pull contaminants out of your entire HVAC system, not just the vents you can see. And we don’t upsell services you don’t need—if your ducts are fine, we’ll tell you.
Alamance properties deal with humidity, seasonal pollen, and the kind of dust that comes with being near agricultural and industrial areas. Your ductwork traps all of it. We’ve seen what happens when systems go years without cleaning, and we know what it takes to get them back to working condition.
We start with an inspection of your HVAC system—not just the ducts, but the coils, blower, and air handler too. Cleaning only part of the system just recontaminates everything else, so we assess the whole setup before we start.
Next, we seal off your vents and connect high-powered vacuum equipment to your ductwork. This creates negative pressure throughout the system, which prevents dust and debris from escaping into your space while we work. Then we use rotating brushes and compressed air tools to dislodge buildup from the walls of your ducts.
Everything gets pulled into HEPA-filtered collection systems. We’re not just pushing dust around—we’re removing it from your property entirely. Once the ducts are clear, we clean the remaining components: coils, drain pans, blower motors, and registers.
After the cleaning, we’ll walk you through what we found and what we did. If there are issues like leaks, disconnected ducts, or mold growth, we’ll explain your options. You’ll know exactly what condition your system is in and what to expect moving forward.
Ready to get started?
Our service covers your entire HVAC system—not just the ductwork. That includes supply and return ducts, registers and grilles, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans, air handling units, and blower motors. Partial cleaning doesn’t work. If you leave one component dirty, it recontaminates the rest.
For commercial properties in Alamance, we work around your schedule. Offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and medical facilities all have different needs and different tolerances for downtime. We’ll coordinate timing that minimizes disruption and keeps your operations running.
Residential clients get the same thorough process. Homes in Alamance collect more than 40 pounds of dust and debris every year, and most of it ends up circulating through your HVAC system. If you’ve noticed more dust on furniture, worsening allergies, or higher utility bills, your ductwork is likely part of the problem.
We also handle crawl space cleaning and encapsulation, which directly impacts your indoor air quality. Alamance’s humidity levels create perfect conditions for mold growth in crawl spaces, and that air gets pulled into your living areas. Sealing and cleaning your crawl space stops contamination at the source.
One thing we don’t do: residential dryer vents. Our focus is on HVAC ductwork and air quality systems where we can make the biggest impact on your health and energy costs.
Most residential properties benefit from duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but that timeline shifts depending on a few factors. If you have pets, you’re dealing with more dander and hair in your system. If someone in your home has allergies or asthma, you’ll want to clean more frequently to reduce triggers.
Commercial properties often need more frequent service—especially restaurants, medical offices, or any business with high foot traffic. The more people moving through your space, the more contaminants your HVAC system is filtering. If you’re in a dusty or industrial area of Alamance, your ducts are working harder and filling up faster.
You’ll also want to clean after any renovation or construction work. Drywall dust, sawdust, and debris get pulled into your system and coat everything. Even if the work was minor, the dust isn’t. If you’ve noticed a spike in your energy bills, more dust than usual, or musty odors when your system runs, don’t wait for the 3-year mark—get it checked.
NADCA certification means we follow ACR—the industry’s comprehensive standard for air system cleaning. It’s not just about vacuuming out vents. It’s about cleaning every component of your HVAC system using proven methods and proper equipment.
A lot of companies advertise cheap duct cleaning, but they’re only hitting the easy-to-reach areas. They’ll vacuum out your registers, maybe run a brush through a section of ductwork, and call it done. That doesn’t address the coils, the blower, the air handler, or the majority of your duct system. Within months, everything’s contaminated again.
As a NADCA-certified company, we use source removal methods—that means physically removing debris from your system, not just stirring it up. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums, rotary brushes, and compressed air tools designed for ductwork. Our technicians are trained and certified, not just handed equipment and sent out. You’re getting a process that’s been tested and refined across thousands of commercial and residential systems. It costs more than the “$99 whole house” specials you see advertised, but it actually works.
Yes, but the savings depend on how dirty your system is to start with. If your ducts are packed with debris, your coils are clogged, and your blower is coated in dust, your HVAC system is working significantly harder than it should. It has to run longer to reach the temperature you set, and that’s where your energy costs go up.
The Department of Energy estimates that 25-40% of your heating and cooling energy is wasted when your system is dirty or restricted. Clean equipment runs more efficiently—it reaches temperature faster, cycles less frequently, and puts less strain on components. You’ll see the difference on your utility bill, especially during peak summer and winter months when your system is running constantly.
The other benefit is fewer repairs. When your system isn’t fighting through buildup, it’s not overheating or overworking. That means fewer breakdowns and a longer lifespan for your equipment. If you’re already looking at a failing HVAC system, cleaning won’t save it—but if your system is in decent shape, regular maintenance and cleaning can add years to its life.
It can make a significant difference, especially if your ductwork is contaminated with mold, dust mites, or other allergens. Every time your HVAC system runs, it’s circulating whatever’s inside your ducts. If that includes mold spores, pet dander, pollen, or dust mite waste, you’re breathing it in constantly.
Studies show that asthma patients have more frequent and severe attacks when exposed to indoor contaminants like mold and dust mites. If your ducts are dirty, your air filters can only do so much—they’re catching particles on the way through, but they’re not removing what’s already coating your ductwork and components.
Cleaning your ducts removes the source of contamination. You’re not just masking the problem with air purifiers or better filters—you’re eliminating the buildup that’s causing it. That said, duct cleaning isn’t a cure-all. If you have mold in your crawl space or a moisture problem in your home, cleaning the ducts helps but doesn’t solve the root issue. We’ll let you know if we find problems that need separate attention, like leaks or mold growth that requires remediation beyond standard cleaning.
For most residential properties, expect 3-5 hours depending on the size of your home and the condition of your ductwork. Larger homes or systems that haven’t been cleaned in years will take longer. We’re not rushing through it—we’re cleaning every duct run, every register, and every component of your HVAC system.
Commercial properties vary more widely. A small office might take half a day. A large warehouse or multi-story building could take a full day or more. We’ll give you a time estimate after the initial inspection so you can plan accordingly.
The process isn’t quiet, and you’ll need to give us access to your HVAC system and ductwork throughout the property. For homes, that usually means accessing your attic, basement, or crawl space. For commercial properties, we’ll coordinate with you to minimize disruption—we can work after hours or on weekends if that’s easier for your operations. You won’t be able to run your HVAC system while we’re working, so we’ll schedule around weather and your comfort needs.
Yes. We handle both, and the process is similar but scaled differently. Residential duct cleaning focuses on your home’s HVAC system—removing dust, allergens, pet dander, and any mold or debris that’s built up over time. Most homes in Alamance haven’t had their ducts cleaned in years, if ever, so there’s usually significant buildup.
Commercial duct cleaning involves larger systems, more complex ductwork, and stricter scheduling requirements. Offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical facilities, and warehouses all have different contamination sources and different air quality standards. We’re NADCA-certified, which is often required for commercial contracts and insurance compliance.
For commercial clients, we’ll work around your business hours and coordinate with your facility management team. We understand that downtime costs money, so we plan the work to minimize disruption. For residential clients, we’re focused on improving your indoor air quality and reducing energy costs without tearing apart your home. Both get the same thorough cleaning process—just adapted to the size and needs of the property.
