The entire process was A++! From Ray being our salesman to the install team! Ray answered all our questions and was not pushy! The install team left the house cleaner then when they arrived! It was the best to come home to new windows and I did not have to clean up any of the mess!

"Dyna-Kleen did an excellent job at cleaning the entire HVAC air duct system throughout our house. They brushed and power vacuumed all 32 supply and return vents as well as cleaned the HVAC system itself, including the coils, plenum, fan, motor and cage. They brought in a very large and powerful vacuum system and long hoses to get the dust and gunk out of the duct system. The crew of three spent 4 hours on cleaning the entire duct network and HVAC system and did an extremely thorough job, including cleaning up any grime created by their work. They were all very professional, friendly and informative. They honored their quoted price which was the best of all the estimates we got. Great all around."

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, not all houses have ducts. It would be safe to say, however, that most modern houses do. The reason is that older houses had boilers in the basement that heated from the bottom up and often vents weren’t built into the house. Another reason is that older homes don’t have air conditioning (because it didn’t exist) and use radiators for heating. Since radiators don’t require ductwork, it wasn’t built.

If you have dirty vent covers, clogged air filters, noisy air ducts, or weak airflow, it might be time to get your air ducts cleaned. You should also call an HVAC professional if you notice any visible mold or believe that there are rodents or insects in your ductwork. Abnormally high energy bills can also be a sign of dirty ducts.

Seeing black dots around the air vents is alarming, but don’t worry. It’s probably just a build-up of soot and darkened dust. Soot is just a byproduct of burning organic materials, so it tends to form in the winter months.

Professional air duct cleaning takes two to five hours, depending on the size of your home and the extent of the cleaning. The ductwork in standard homes with total square footage of 1,500 to 2,000 will take closer to two hours. Larger homes with extensive return and supply ductwork—often over 3,000 square feet—can push up to five hours. Keep in mind that related cleanings and repairs in your HVAC system will add to this total and may require two visits.

A dehumidifier can reduce condensation on your ductwork by lowering humidity levels in the air. Condensation occurs when humid, warm air makes contact with cold ducts. A dehumidifier can help maintain your home's indoor humidity below or around 50%, minimizing moisture buildup. However, if condensation is caused by leaks, cracks, or other damage, a dehumidifier won’t solve the problem.
