How We Clean Air Ducts in Carleton Place

A proper duct cleaning should involve more than removing the registers and vacuuming around the openings.

1. Inspect the HVAC System and Ductwork

Before beginning, we look at the HVAC system, ductwork and available access points so we can determine the best way to clean the system.

2. Connect Our Negative-Air Equipment

Professional vacuum equipment is connected to the duct system to create negative pressure.

This helps collect loosened dust and debris as the ductwork is cleaned.

3. Clean the Supply Ductwork

Compressed-air and agitation tools are used to clean the individual supply duct runs and move accumulated material toward our collection equipment.

4. Clean the Return Ductwork

The return-air side is also cleaned. Return ducts can collect a considerable amount of debris because they continuously pull air back toward the furnace.

5. Clean the Main Trunk Lines

Accessible supply and return trunk ductwork is cleaned as part of the process.

We're interested in cleaning the duct system, not simply making the registers look clean.

6. Final Inspection and Sealing

Once the cleaning is complete, we inspect our work and properly seal the access points we've created.

We're HVAC Technicians — Not Just Duct Cleaners

This is one of the biggest differences between SDG Duct Cleaning and a company that only performs duct cleaning.

Your ductwork is part of your HVAC system.

Air moves through the return ductwork, furnace filter, blower assembly, heating equipment and evaporator coil before travelling back through the supply ductwork.

Because we work on HVAC equipment, we understand how those components interact.

If we notice something concerning while working around your system, we'll let you know.

That doesn't mean every HVAC problem is caused by dirty ducts. Poor airflow, for example, can also be caused by a dirty filter, evaporator coil, blower issue, duct design problem or other HVAC concern.

HVAC Technicians — Not Just Duct Cleaners.

Do Your Air Ducts Actually Need Cleaning?

Not every home needs its ducts cleaned simply because a certain number of years have passed.

Some situations where duct cleaning may be worth considering include:

• Visible dust or debris inside the ductwork
• Significant debris inside return ducts
• Construction or renovation work
• Moving into a home when the previous cleaning history is unknown
• Objects or debris that have fallen into floor registers
• A duct system that hasn't been cleaned in many years
• Visible material inside accessible portions of the ductwork

If you're unsure, take a look inside an accessible return or supply duct.

Sometimes the condition of the system tells you more than simply looking at a calendar.

Duct Cleaning After Renovations in Carleton Place

Renovation work is one of the situations where we commonly recommend taking a closer look at the ductwork.

Drywall sanding, flooring work, cutting wood and other construction activities can produce a surprising amount of fine debris.

If registers were left open during the renovation, some of that material can end up inside the duct system.

The same can happen during new-home construction.

If you've recently renovated or purchased a newer home in Carleton Place and can see construction material inside the ducts, professional cleaning may be worth considering.

What Does Duct Cleaning Cost in Carleton Place?

We believe you should have a clear idea of what your duct cleaning is going to cost before we arrive at your home.

The price of air duct cleaning in Carleton Place depends on several factors, including:

• Size of the home
• Number of supply registers
• Number of return registers
• Size and layout of the duct system
• Number of HVAC systems
• Accessibility

For most homes in Carleton Place, duct-cleaning prices generally start around $475 to $500 + HST. Larger homes or more complex duct systems may cost more.

Once we provide you with a quote and you agree to it, we stand behind that price. You won't have unexpected charges added when we arrive at your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Duct Cleaning in Carleton Place

How Long Does Duct Cleaning Take?

The amount of time depends on the size of the home, number of registers, layout of the duct system and accessibility.

A larger or more complicated duct system will naturally take longer than a smaller home.

However, on average, duct cleaning for a typical home of around 1,200 to 1,500 square feet takes approximately 2½ to 3 hours to complete.

Do you clean both supply and return ducts?

Yes.

Our process includes the supply and return sides of the duct system as well as accessible main trunk ductwork.

Do you use negative pressure?

Yes.

We connect professional negative-air equipment to the duct system while cleaning the ductwork with compressed-air and agitation tools.

Will duct cleaning improve airflow?

It depends on what's causing the airflow problem.

Heavy debris inside ductwork can sometimes restrict airflow, but poor airflow can also be caused by a dirty filter, dirty evaporator coil, blower problem, closed damper, undersized ductwork or other HVAC issues.

This is one reason having HVAC technicians performing the cleaning can be helpful.

Do you clean the furnace too?

Duct cleaning and furnace maintenance are separate services.

If you're interested in having your furnace maintained while we're already at your home, let us know when requesting your quote.

Can you clean my dryer vent at the same time?

Yes, in many cases we can combine dryer vent cleaning with your duct-cleaning appointment.

Let us know when requesting your quote and we can include it in the pricing.

Should I have the ducts cleaned after renovating?

Yes. After completing renovations, it is a good idea to consider having your ducts cleaned.

Think about the amount of construction that has taken place inside your home. Renovations often involve cutting, drilling and sanding, which can create a surprising amount of sawdust, drywall dust and other debris. Even if you change your furnace filter after the renovation, debris that has already fallen into the ductwork will remain there.

If you've just completed a major renovation and are planning to spend the next eight months inside your home during the heating season, do yourself a favour and consider having the ducts cleaned. It's a good opportunity to remove the construction debris left behind and start with a cleaner duct system.
