Your monthly energy bills drop because air moves through the system the way it’s supposed to. Equipment doesn’t strain against blockages, so it runs efficiently and lasts longer before needing replacement.
Your employees stop complaining about feeling stuffy or getting headaches at their desks. The air quality improves because you’ve removed the dust, mold spores, and allergens that were circulating through every vent in your building.
You stop worrying about what’s hiding in your ductwork. Professional HVAC duct cleaning gives you visibility into your system’s condition, catching small problems before they turn into expensive emergencies that shut down operations.
Clean Air LLC focuses exclusively on indoor air quality for commercial and residential properties throughout High Point and the surrounding Piedmont Triad area. We follow NADCA standards because cutting corners in ductwork cleaning means the job isn’t actually done.
High Point’s mix of furniture manufacturing facilities, medical offices, and retail spaces means we’ve seen every type of commercial HVAC configuration. We know what accumulates in systems here and how to remove it without disrupting your daily operations.
We don’t do residential dryer vents. We clean commercial ductwork, crawl spaces, and handle mold remediation when systems have been neglected too long.
We start with a free consultation where we assess your system size, ductwork configuration, and current condition. You get a clear estimate before any work begins, so there’s no confusion about what you’re paying for.
During the actual cleaning, we use HEPA-filtered collection units that create negative pressure in your ductwork. This pulls contaminants toward our equipment instead of pushing them deeper into your system. Power brushing tools and high-pressure air devices dislodge debris that’s been building up for years.
We contain our work areas to minimize disruption to your employees. Most commercial jobs take several hours depending on your building size and system complexity. You’ll see before and after documentation showing what was removed from your ductwork.
The inspection process identifies leaks, mold growth, or damaged sections that need attention. You’ll know if there are problems beyond just dirty ducts, giving you the information to make smart decisions about your HVAC system’s maintenance.

Your service includes complete cleaning of supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, and diffusers throughout your facility. We clean the HVAC unit’s coils and fan housing because debris there defeats the purpose of cleaning the ductwork.
High Point’s commercial buildings often have complex multi-zone systems serving different areas. We map out your entire HVAC configuration to make sure nothing gets missed, whether you’re running a 5,000 square foot medical office or a 50,000 square foot retail space.
You’ll receive documentation of the work completed, including photos of problem areas we found and what your system looks like after cleaning. This matters for your maintenance records and helps you understand what’s happening inside walls and ceilings where you can’t see.
The inspection component catches issues early. We’ve found everything from disconnected ductwork reducing efficiency to mold growth that would have continued spreading if left undetected. You get actionable information, not just a cleaning service.
NADCA recommends every three to five years for most commercial buildings, but your specific timeline depends on what happens in your space. A medical office with strict air quality requirements needs more frequent cleaning than a warehouse with minimal occupancy.
If you’re in High Point’s furniture manufacturing sector, you’re dealing with more airborne particles than a typical office building. Sawdust and finishing chemicals put extra strain on your HVAC system, potentially requiring cleaning every two to three years instead of five.
Watch for signs between scheduled cleanings: visible dust blowing from vents, musty odors when the system runs, or increased employee complaints about air quality. These indicate it’s time for service regardless of how long it’s been since your last cleaning.
Commercial air duct cleaning typically costs between $400 and $1,000 depending on your building size and system complexity. That’s a one-time expense every few years.
Skipping it costs you more in ways that don’t show up as a single line item. Your energy bills stay higher because the system works harder to push air through clogged ductwork. Equipment wears out faster from the extra strain, moving up your replacement timeline by years.
Then there’s the productivity hit when employees feel sick or uncomfortable at work. You’re paying for reduced output and increased sick days because of poor indoor air quality. The cleaning cost is small compared to what you lose by avoiding it.
Yes, but the exact savings depend on how dirty your system is right now. A heavily contaminated HVAC system can use 20-40% more energy than a clean one because it’s fighting against restricted airflow.
Clean ductwork and coils let air move efficiently through your system. Your equipment reaches the desired temperature faster and doesn’t run as long to maintain it. Most commercial clients notice the difference in their first full billing cycle after service.
The savings compound over time because your equipment isn’t wearing itself out. You’re not just paying less per month for energy—you’re extending the life of expensive HVAC components that cost thousands to replace when they fail prematurely.
We schedule around your operational needs and work in sections when necessary. Most commercial duct cleaning happens during regular business hours without requiring you to close, though some clients prefer evening or weekend work to avoid any disruption.
Our technicians contain work areas with barriers and use HEPA filtration to prevent dust and debris from entering occupied spaces. We’re cleaning the ductwork behind walls and ceilings, not tearing apart your workspace.
The actual noise level is comparable to running a vacuum cleaner in an adjacent room. Some areas near active work zones might hear equipment operating, but it’s not loud enough to prevent normal business activities like phone calls or customer interactions.
We document it, show you exactly where it is, and explain what’s causing it before recommending next steps. Mold in ductwork usually means there’s a moisture problem—a leak, condensation issue, or humidity control failure that needs fixing.
Standard duct cleaning removes surface mold and the debris it feeds on, but if you have significant growth, you need proper mold remediation. We handle that as a separate service, treating affected areas and addressing the moisture source so it doesn’t come back.
You’ll get straight information about severity. Small amounts of surface mold are common and easily addressed. Extensive growth, especially black mold containing mycotoxins, requires more aggressive treatment and possibly replacing damaged ductwork sections.
Commercial systems are larger, more complex, and have higher stakes. Your building might have multiple HVAC units, rooftop equipment, and ductwork serving different zones with different requirements. Residential systems are simpler and smaller.
The equipment and approach differ too. Commercial jobs require industrial-grade vacuum systems and more powerful agitation tools to handle the volume of ductwork in a typical office building or retail space. The process takes longer and requires more technical knowledge.
You’re also dealing with different contaminants. Commercial buildings accumulate dust and debris faster because of higher occupancy and longer operating hours. The consequences of poor indoor air quality are bigger when you’re responsible for employee health and productivity, not just your own family’s comfort.
