For a brief introduction to air duct cleaning,
more accurately known as HVAC system cleaning, please
check out the video link to the left. This video, entitled
"Spotlight on Indoor Air Quality," is appearing
on Public Service Television stations throughout the U.S.

When
T&D cleans the air ducts in your home or business, you will
create a dramatic improvement in your air quality. Duct cleaning
removes dust, pollen, mold spores, and dust mites – these
can be significant causes of allergies and illness.
Your air conditioning and ventilation system collects a variety of undesirable contaminants such as dust, bacteria, fungus, molds and pollens which are allergy triggers.
T&D does MORE than just clean each duct individually from the grill all the way to the main unit. T&D removes your furnace’s cover (plenum) and cleans the inside of your air handler…we can also clean the coils inside your hvac system helping to increase your energy efficiency!
What to expect:
- Appointments are prompt
- Air duct system is inspected
- No dust or dirt left behind in any vent
- T&D’s technicians are NADCA certified
- Vent registers and grills are cleaned
- Supply & return ductwork is mechanically cleaned with T&D arsenal of high powered hoses & agitating devices – removing contaminants from your ducts.
- High powered vacuum unit is used to remove dust, pollen & all other contaminants
- Allergens & contaminants including dust, mold, fungus, bacteria, pet dander and dust mites are removed from your system and captured in our vacuum unit.
- Systems and filters are evaluated for performance and recommendations are given to the customer
BEWARE:
- Of ridiculously low prices. If it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is. Some companies promise the world (free
or low priced sanitizer, dryer vent cleaning, coil cleaning,
etc.) and don’t deliver
- Be aware of the bait and switch. Some companies offer lower
prices to start and then have hidden charges for access panels
or more than one main duct.
- Work only with a company that you can trust completely.
Your family’s health depends on it.
How we clean your HVAC system - Step by Step

We will do a walk-through with the homeowner, noting
location of the vents. We provide the customer with a
work plan.
(1, 2 & 3) We will cut an
8 or 12-inch access hole into the main supply and return
ducts near the furnace. This hole allows a thorough system
inspection and provides a hook-up point for the high velocity
HEPA vacuum.

(4) One-inch holes are drilled into
the main trunk duct to insert cleaning tools.
(5) The furnace filter is blocked and some vents
are sealed off to maximize airflow. (6)
Each vent cover is removed and air cleaned. An air hose is snaked
through each branch duct and high pressure air blasts the debris
from the inside surfaces of the duct. The HEPA vacuum pulls
the dislodged contaminants into its filtration system.
(7) The process is repeated on the return side of the
system. (8) The main ductwork is whipped
and air washed. (9) The coil, blower,
and blower motor are all air washed. (10) The access holes are permanently
sealed with patches of heavy-gauge sheet metal and a high temperature
foil tape. Drilled holes are plugged and all captured debris
is removed from the home.
