Our Premium Duct Cleaning Process

We park our truck-mounted vacuum unit in your driveway or the nearest access point and run the equipment from there, not from a portable unit rolled through your house. That keeps the noise and mess of the job outside, where it belongs, while we get everything staged before touching a single vent.

We run the vacuum hose and compressed air line into the basement furnace room, with the air line run upstairs. Every supply and return vent gets sealed before we start, so the whole system builds full suction and no dust escapes into your living space while we work.

Once every vent is sealed, 250 psi air whips clean each individual vent, starting from the highest point in the home down to the basement. Working top-down means loosened dust is always pulled toward the truck, not left to resettle in a vent we already cleaned.

Using air whips and scorpion balls, the main supply line is cleaned with 250 psi air pressure pushed through to the suction hose. Scorpion balls dislodge compacted debris a straight air whip can't reach on its own, so the full system gets cleared, not just the easy sections.

Return ducts pull air continuously toward your furnace, so they collect a different kind of buildup than supply ducts. Our 8" suction hose connects directly to the return air trunk line, and we work every return vent on the way back upstairs and down.

The main trunk line is cleaned using our air whips, pushing all dirt and debris toward the suction at the end of the trunk line — clearing the last stretch of ductwork before air ever reaches your furnace again.

Included with the Platinum package. Once the ductwork is thoroughly cleaned and double-checked, the technician opens the air handler and cleans the furnace fan and blower compartment by hand — the part of the system that pushes air through everything we just cleaned, and one that many portable-vacuum companies skip.

Included with the Platinum package. Colair uses Benefect Disinfectant, an all-botanical product that's 100% natural and safe around kids and pets. It's applied as the final step, so your whole system isn't just clean — it's sanitized too.
