Conducting Thermal Imaging Scan for HVAC Anomalies

The "Hidden Danger" in Your HVAC System

Wildfire smoke isn't like regular dust. It's a toxic mix of fine particulate matter, soot, and ash.

It Gets Trapped: Your HVAC system pulls this air in, and the particles settle in your ductwork.
It Recirculates: The next time your AC or heat kicks on, it "wakes up" these particles and blasts them into your living space.
It's a Health Risk: This particulate matter is a known respiratory irritant, triggering asthma, allergies, and other health issues.

When Should You Clean Your Ducts?

After a nearby wildfire (even if you just smelled smoke for days).
If you see fine, dark dust (soot) settling on sills or surfaces.
If a "smoky" or "burnt" smell lingers, especially when the AC turns on.
If your family is experiencing new respiratory issues.

Our "Source-Removal" Cleaning Process

We use the only method approved by NADCA.

Agitation: We use high-powered, rotating brushes to scrub the inside of your ducts and dislodge all caked-on soot, ash, and dust.
Extraction: We connect a massive, truck-mounted HEPA vacuum to your system. This creates negative pressure, pulling all the dislodged contaminants out of your home and trapping them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my filter be enough? No. Your filter only protects your HVAC unit. It does not clean the 200+ feet of ductwork where the contaminants have already settled.
What is NADCA-certified? It's the "gold standard" from the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. It's your guarantee that we are trained, insured, and will not be a "bait-and-switch" scam.
Is this a long, messy process? No. A professional cleaning takes 2-4 hours, and we guarantee "no-mess." Our system ensures all dust is contained.
Will this help my allergies, too? Absolutely. The same process that removes smoke and soot also removes the pounds of dust, pollen, and pet dander that cause everyday allergies.
