Dirty ductwork doesn’t just circulate dust. It forces your HVAC system to work harder, drives up energy costs, and spreads allergens through every room.
When your ducts are clean, airflow improves. Your system doesn’t strain to push air through clogged vents. You’ll notice the difference in your energy bills and how the air feels.
For commercial properties, this matters even more. Poor indoor air quality leads to employee complaints, decreased productivity, and potential compliance issues. Clean ductwork means fewer sick days, better focus, and a workspace people actually want to be in.
You’re not just cleaning vents. You’re improving the environment where people spend most of their day.
We’ve been cleaning ductwork in Clemmons, NC and the surrounding Greensboro area for over 30 years. Our owner, Rick Watson, holds ASCS and CVI certifications from the National Air Duct Cleaners Association—the industry standard for proper HVAC cleaning and restoration.
We’re not a franchise or a national chain. We’re local, owner-operated, and we’ve been doing this long enough to know what actually works in homes and commercial buildings around here.
Clemmons properties deal with humidity, seasonal pollen, and older HVAC systems that accumulate dust faster than you’d expect. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to handle it without overselling or cutting corners.
We start with a full inspection using cameras to see what’s actually inside your ductwork. No guessing. You’ll know what we’re dealing with before we start.
Next, we use NADCA-approved equipment to dislodge debris and contaminants from the duct walls. This isn’t a shop vac job—it’s industrial-grade negative air pressure and agitation tools designed specifically for HVAC systems.
Everything gets pulled out through a containment system, so dust doesn’t end up back in your building. We clean supply lines, return lines, registers, and grilles. If there’s mold or heavy contamination, we’ll address that too.
After cleaning, we do a final inspection to confirm the job’s done right. You’ll see the difference in airflow immediately, and your system will run quieter and more efficiently.

Every duct cleaning includes a full system inspection, cleaning of all accessible ductwork, and removal of dust, debris, and allergens. We clean both supply and return vents, registers, grilles, and the air handler.
In Clemmons, we see a lot of older homes and commercial buildings with ductwork that hasn’t been touched in years—sometimes decades. Pollen, construction dust, pet dander, and moisture buildup are common issues here. We handle all of it.
For commercial properties, we schedule work around your business hours to minimize disruption. We’re licensed, insured, and follow NADCA standards for every job. You’re not getting a quick pass-through with a vacuum—you’re getting a thorough, certified cleaning that actually makes a difference.
We don’t do residential dryer vent cleaning, but if your HVAC system needs attention, we’re the call to make.
Most homes and businesses benefit from duct cleaning every two to three years. That’s the general recommendation from NADCA and what we’ve seen work well in this area.
If you’re dealing with allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues, you might want to clean them more often. Same goes for commercial buildings with high foot traffic or properties that recently had construction or renovation work done.
Clemmons sits in an area with heavy pollen counts in spring and fall. If your HVAC system is constantly pulling in outdoor air, that buildup happens faster than you’d think. You’ll know it’s time when you see dust around vents, notice reduced airflow, or smell something musty when the system kicks on.
Commercial systems are bigger, more complex, and run longer hours. That means more dust, more wear, and more potential for air quality issues that affect employees or customers.
Residential duct cleaning usually takes a few hours and covers a straightforward system. Commercial jobs can take a full day or more, depending on the size of the building and how many units you’re running. We’re dealing with larger ductwork, more access points, and stricter compliance standards.
For businesses in Clemmons, we also factor in your operating hours. We can schedule cleanings after hours or on weekends so we’re not disrupting your workflow. The process is the same—thorough inspection, NADCA-certified cleaning, and final walkthrough—but the scope and coordination are different.
Yes, but the amount depends on how dirty your ducts were to start with. If your system is clogged with dust and debris, your HVAC has to work harder to push air through. That uses more energy.
Clean ducts improve airflow, which means your system runs more efficiently. You’re not forcing air through a layer of buildup. Most customers notice a difference in how quickly rooms heat or cool, and many see a drop in monthly energy costs.
For commercial properties, the savings add up faster because you’re running larger systems for longer periods. Even a small efficiency gain translates to real money over time. Plus, regular cleaning extends the lifespan of your HVAC equipment, which saves you from expensive replacements down the road.
Look at your vents. If you see dust buildup around the registers or notice a musty smell when the system turns on, that’s a sign. Reduced airflow is another one—if some rooms aren’t heating or cooling like they used to, clogged ducts could be the problem.
Allergy symptoms that get worse indoors are a red flag too. If people in your home or office are dealing with headaches, congestion, or respiratory issues that improve when they leave the building, poor air quality is likely the cause.
You can also check the last time your ducts were cleaned. If it’s been more than three years—or if you’ve never had it done—it’s worth scheduling an inspection. We’ll use cameras to show you what’s inside, and you can decide from there. No pressure, just information.
Yes, when it’s done by someone who knows what they’re doing. Older systems need careful handling because the ductwork can be more fragile, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be cleaned.
We inspect everything first to identify any weak points or damage. If we find issues, we’ll let you know before we start. The cleaning process itself uses controlled negative pressure and soft-bristle tools that won’t damage ducts or seals.
Clemmons has plenty of older homes and commercial buildings with HVAC systems that have been running for decades. We’ve cleaned hundreds of them. The key is using the right equipment and not rushing the job. If your system is in rough shape, we’ll tell you what needs repair before we clean it—not after.
We don’t typically offer same-day service for standard cleanings because a thorough job takes time and planning. Duct cleaning isn’t something you want rushed—it needs to be done right.
That said, if you’re dealing with an emergency situation like water damage, mold contamination, or a sudden air quality issue affecting your business or home, we’ll prioritize your job and get out there as quickly as possible.
For most customers, we can schedule within a few days to a week depending on the season. Spring and fall are busier because that’s when people notice air quality issues the most. If you’re planning ahead, booking early gives you more flexibility with timing.
