Clean Ducts Mean a Harder-Working HVAC.

Blocked, contaminated ducts force your HVAC system to work harder, run longer, and wear out faster. A thorough cleaning restores proper airflow and helps your system run the way it was designed to.

Improved airflow from registers throughout your home

Lower energy bills from a system that isn't fighting itself
Fresher, cleaner air in every room you live in

What Sets Our Work Apart

Six dimensions of service quality that define every duct cleaning job we take on in Santa Barbara.

Contaminant Removal

We target dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and debris at the source — not just surface-level cleaning. Deep extraction every time.

Moisture & Mold Control

Santa Barbara's coastal air creates humidity risks inside ductwork. We inspect for moisture issues and treat them before mold takes hold.

Dryer Vent Safety

Clogged dryer vents are a leading fire hazard. Our vent cleaning restores safe airflow and reduces risk in every laundry room we service.

HVAC System Integrity

We clean around coils, blowers, and air handlers without causing damage — protecting your equipment while maximizing its efficiency.

Duct Repair & Sealing

Leaky ducts waste energy and pull in unfiltered air. We seal gaps, repair disconnected sections, and restore system integrity.

Indoor Air Quality

Sanitizing treatments and thorough extraction mean the air your family breathes is genuinely cleaner — not just moved around differently.

How We Work

Our 8-Step Duct Cleaning Process

Every job follows a proven, thorough process so nothing gets missed and your home gets the clean air it deserves.

Schedule & Confirm

Book online or by phone in minutes. We confirm your appointment fast and arrive on time — always.

Pre-Job Walkthrough

Our technician inspects your home layout, locates all registers and returns, and identifies any visible problem areas before work begins.

System Assessment

We test airflow and inspect accessible ductwork for debris buildup, mold risk, pest intrusion, and damage before touching a single vent.

Seal & Protect

We protect your floors, furniture, and walls before setup. Your home stays clean throughout the entire service.

Negative Pressure Extraction

Industrial-grade vacuum equipment creates negative pressure across your duct system, pulling contaminants out — not just pushing them around.

Agitation & Deep Scrub

Rotary brushes and compressed air tools break loose stubborn dust, allergens, and debris clinging to duct walls and bends.

Sanitize & Treat

We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments to neutralize bacteria, mold spores, and odors throughout the duct interior.

Final Inspection & Report

We walk you through the completed work, show you before-and-after conditions, and provide a clear summary of findings and any recommended repairs.
