Residential Air Duct and HVAC Cleaning Services
Central HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems are connected by a series of ducts. Over time, this ductwork can become caked with dirt, dust, germs, dander, and more, circulating these particles throughout your home. Duct cleaning is a critical step toward improving the air quality inside your home.

The Importance of Residential Air Duct Cleaning
The quality of the air you breathe is critical to your health and well-being. Regular HVAC cleaning (completed every three to five years) is designed to remove dust and indoor allergens from your home, improving air quality indoors.
Indoor air quality is important to every homeowner, but especially homes with:
- Young children
- Adults who stay at or work from home
- Elderly occupants
- Individuals with allergies, asthma, or chronic illnesses
The most common indoor air containments are:
- Bacteria & viruses
- Mold spores
- Fungus
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Animal and insect droppings
- Dust mites
- 挥发性有机化合物(挥发性有机化合物的仪器)从家庭cleaning products and construction supplies like paints, varnishes, and glues

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should HVAC Vents Be Cleaned?
TheNational Air Duct Cleaners Association(NADCA) recommends duct cleaning every three to five years, but your needs may vary.
Your home will tell you if you should engage in air duct cleaning more frequently. Keep an eye out for the following signs:
- Mold: If you see mold or other microbial growth on or inside ductwork, professional cleaning is required. Choose Rainbow Restoration and combine the knowledge and experience of ourmold removal serviceswith duct cleaning.
- Pests: Rodents, insects, and other pests may decide to call your ductwork home. If you hear scurrying feet or beating wings within the ductwork, cleaning will help resolve the problem.
- Excessive dust: Excess dust and debris buildup in the ductwork could cause your home to become dustier. Ask your contractor to use a camera to check inside the ductwork for this problem and show you the evidence before they begin to clean.
Other considerations may include:
- The number of pets in the home. The more you have and the hairier the pets, the more frequent cleanings are required.
- The number of smokers who smoke in or immediately outside the home.
- The area you live in. If you live in a region that is very moist, dry, and dusty or with frequent high pollen counts, you should schedule more frequent cleanings.

What are the benefits of air duct cleaning?
Regular cleaning helps reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system, identifies damage and infestations in your ducts, and reduces the presence of dust, mold, and allergens in your home.
Should I have my air ducts cleaned after renovations or construction?
We recommend working with a professional duct cleaning service after any renovations at your home. Renovations kick up dust and debris, some of which may harm your health.
Will I save money on my energy bill after a vent cleaning?
Dirty air ducts force your HVAC system to work harder than it normally would. That requires more energy, which can lead to higher home energy bills. A clean HVAC system is a part of a comprehensive plan to lower your home energy use.
