Your energy bills drop. Not by a little—by 20% to 30% in most commercial facilities, because your HVAC system isn’t fighting through layers of dust and debris just to move air.
Your staff stops complaining about stuffiness, allergies, and that stale smell that never quite goes away. Buildings with poor ventilation see a 130% increase in sick leave. Clean ducts mean fewer respiratory issues, fewer distractions, and people who can actually focus on their work.
Your system lasts longer. When airflow improves and your equipment doesn’t have to strain, you’re looking at fewer breakdowns, lower repair costs, and years added to the lifespan of your HVAC investment. Clean systems run efficiently. Dirty ones burn out early.
We’ve been cleaning commercial ductwork in the Jamestown and Greensboro area since the early 1990s. We’re NADCA certified—that’s the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, the actual standard for this industry. Our technicians, Rick and Noah Watson, hold ASCS and CVI certifications, which means they know how to read mechanical drawings, work around sensitive equipment, and clean complex commercial systems without causing problems.
We’re BBB accredited with an A+ rating. We’re insured. And we schedule around your operations—nights, weekends, shutdowns—so your business doesn’t stop while we work.
Jamestown’s mix of office buildings, manufacturing facilities, and retail spaces means we’ve seen just about every type of commercial HVAC system there is. We know what works here.
We start with an inspection. That means looking at your ductwork, your system layout, and identifying where the buildup is worst. We’re checking for dust, debris, mold, and anything else that’s restricting airflow or contaminating your air supply.
Then we protect your space. We seal off vents, cover sensitive equipment, and make sure nothing gets damaged while we work. For commercial jobs, that often means coordinating with your facility team and working around your schedule.
The actual cleaning uses specialized equipment—negative air machines, rotary brushes, and HEPA-filtered vacuums—to pull contaminants out of your ductwork without spreading them into your building. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the air handling unit itself. It’s not a quick blow-through. It’s a complete system cleaning.
After we’re done, airflow improves immediately. You’ll notice it on your energy bills within the first month, and your indoor air quality improves right away.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a full system cleaning—not just the easy-to-reach parts. That includes all supply and return ducts, diffusers, registers, grilles, coils, drain pans, fan motors, and the air handling unit housing. We also inspect for mold, leaks, and damage that could be affecting performance.
In Jamestown’s commercial facilities, especially older buildings near Main Street and the industrial areas off I-85, we often find decades of accumulated dust, construction debris, and biological growth. Manufacturing facilities deal with combustible dust, which is a legitimate fire hazard if it builds up in ductwork. Restaurants and hospitality businesses face grease and odor issues that standard cleaning doesn’t touch.
We handle all of it. And because we’re NADCA certified, we follow the industry’s actual standards—not some watered-down version. That means proper containment, proper equipment, and proper disposal of what we pull out of your system.
You also get documentation. We can provide before-and-after photos, airflow measurements, and written reports for your records or compliance needs.
NADCA recommends commercial duct cleaning every three to five years under normal conditions. But “normal” doesn’t apply to every facility.
If you’re running a manufacturing operation, dealing with high dust levels, or operating 24/7, you’re looking at more frequent cleanings—sometimes annually. Restaurants, healthcare facilities, and buildings with high occupancy also need more frequent service because contaminants build up faster.
The real answer depends on your system, your industry, and what’s actually happening inside your ducts. If you’re seeing dust around vents, noticing odors, or your energy bills are creeping up without explanation, it’s time to get your system inspected regardless of the timeline.
Yes, but let’s be specific about how much. NADCA’s energy study found that professional duct cleaning reduces fan and blower energy consumption by 41% to 60% and increases supply airflow by 10% to 46%. That translates to 20% to 30% savings on heating and cooling costs for most commercial buildings.
Dirty ducts restrict airflow, which forces your HVAC system to run longer and work harder to maintain temperature. When you remove that restriction, the system operates at its designed efficiency. You’re not just saving energy—you’re reducing wear on expensive equipment.
The payback period is usually under two years. After that, you’re just banking savings every month. For a mid-sized commercial building in Jamestown, that can mean thousands of dollars annually.
Yes. We schedule commercial duct cleaning around your operations—nights, weekends, or during planned shutdowns. Most businesses can’t afford downtime, and we don’t expect you to.
For larger facilities, we can work in phases, cleaning sections of the building while others remain operational. We coordinate with your facility manager or maintenance team to make sure we’re not disrupting critical operations or accessing areas during business hours.
The actual cleaning process does require temporary shutdown of the HVAC system in the area we’re working on, but we plan that around your needs. If you need us there at 2 AM on a Sunday, that’s when we’ll be there.
Commercial systems are larger, more complex, and require different equipment and expertise. You’re dealing with rooftop units, multiple air handlers, longer duct runs, and systems that serve dozens or hundreds of people instead of a single family.
Commercial duct cleaning also requires the ability to read mechanical drawings, understand building codes, work around sensitive equipment, and coordinate with facility teams. You can’t just show up with a vacuum and call it done.
That’s why NADCA certification matters. It means the technicians have been trained on commercial systems specifically—how to access them, how to clean them properly, and how to avoid damaging equipment or disrupting operations. Our technicians hold advanced NADCA certifications (ASCS and CVI), which are specifically designed for commercial work.
Look around your vents and registers. If you see visible dust, debris, or discoloration, that’s what’s circulating through your building. Check your air filters—if they’re clogging faster than they used to, your ducts are feeding them contaminants.
Pay attention to complaints. If employees are mentioning stuffiness, odors, or allergy symptoms that get better when they leave the building, your indoor air quality is suffering. That’s often a duct issue.
Watch your energy bills. If costs are rising without a corresponding increase in usage or rate changes, your system is working harder than it should. Restricted airflow from dirty ducts is a common culprit. An inspection takes about an hour and gives you a clear answer about what’s happening inside your system.
We handle both, but mold requires a different approach. If we find mold during an inspection, we’ll identify the source—usually a moisture problem from leaks, condensation, or humidity issues—and address both the growth and the cause.
Mold remediation in ductwork involves containment, removal, treatment, and verification. We don’t just spray something and hope it works. We remove contaminated materials, treat affected areas with EPA-approved antimicrobials, and fix whatever allowed the mold to grow in the first place.
We also offer separate mold remediation services beyond duct cleaning, so if the problem extends into your building structure, crawl spaces, or other areas, we can handle that too. Jamestown’s humidity, especially in older buildings without proper ventilation, creates conditions where mold thrives. Catching it early saves you money and protects your occupants.
