Air Duct Cleaning Process

Our Quality Cleaning Process...

At Better Air NW, we ensure your air ducts are thoroughly cleaned for improved air quality and system efficiency. Here’s our step-by-step process:

1.  Inspection and Assessment

• Initial Evaluation: Our technicians inspect your ductwork to identify problem areas such as heavy debris, mold, or blockages.
• System Analysis: We check the HVAC system components, including the blower, coils, and filters, for overall cleanliness and efficiency.

2.  Preparation

• Protecting Your Home: We lay down protective coverings and seal off vents to keep your home clean during the process.
• System Isolation: To prevent debris from spreading, we isolate the ductwork from the HVAC system.

3.  Dislodging Debris

• Agitation Tools: We use professional-grade brushes, air whips, or rotary tools to loosen dirt, dust, and debris from the duct walls.
• Compressed Air: High-pressure air is directed through the system to dislodge stubborn particles.

4.  Powerful Vacuuming

• Negative Air Pressure System: A high-powered vacuum removes all loosened debris from the ductwork, ensuring a deep clean.
• HEPA Filtration: The vacuum captures dust and allergens, preventing recontamination.

5.  Cleaning Additional Components

• Registers and Grilles: We remove and clean vent covers and grilles to ensure no dust remains.
• Blower and Coils: If needed, we clean the HVAC blower motor, evaporator coil, and other components for optimal performance.

6.  Sanitizing and Deodorizing (Optional)

• Antimicrobial Treatment: We apply a safe, EPA-approved sanitizer to kill bacteria, mold, and other contaminants.
• Odor Neutralizing: Optional deodorizing treatments leave your system smelling fresh.

7.  Final Inspection

• Quality Check: We perform a thorough post-cleaning inspection to ensure all debris is removed.
• Customer Walkthrough: Our technicians show you the results and answer any questions.

8.  Clean-Up

• Restoring Your Home: We remove all equipment, clean up work areas, and ensure your space is left spotless.

9.  Maintenance Tips

• Filter Replacement: We recommend and replace air filters if needed to maintain clean airflow.
• Future Maintenance Advice: Our team provides tips on maintaining air quality and scheduling routine cleanings.
