How To Clean Air Ducts & Vents in Your Home

Home, but what about your air?  Combined with pet hair, mold, and outdoor pollutants that make their way into your home, indoor air pollution is a risk to your health, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory issues. When you clean your air ducts and vents, you remove this dirt and dust from your home so it does not linger or continuously circulate throughout your home. To learn more about improving the indoor air quality in your home, Steamatic of Kansas City is here today to inform you about the air duct cleaning process, something vital for every home.

What You’ll Need Before You Get Started

Remember, preparation is always vital to any project if you are wondering how to clean air ducts. At Steamatic Kansas City, our team will have everything necessary to start the process and have your vents cleaned. Here’s a common list of items we bring so you don’t have to:

  • Heavy-duty vacuums and 150-foot hoses with an industrial vehicle
  • Heavy-duty gloves, gas masks or goggles
  • Brushes used to scrape off any build-up in your vents
  • Microfiber cleaning cloths

Cleaning Your Vents

Cleaning your air duct vents is a detailed and intricate process. When done correctly, it can improve energy efficiency, airflow, and air quality throughout your home. While some aspects of it can be done yourself, our team will take care of the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

First, we’ll start by removing screws from your air duct covers to access your vents. Your supply vents, the vents that bring air to your rooms, will then be covered to avoid any debris from filling your rooms.

We can then use a pressurized air system with our cutting-edge system to effectively dislodge any debris or built-up dust, liberating it from the surfaces of ducts and HVAC components. These airborne pollutants are swiftly extracted and filtered through a HEPA system, guaranteeing that no harmful particles infiltrate the air within your home.

The last stage involves a meticulous examination of your HVAC system and ductwork by our team to ensure a comprehensive cleanse. We take pride in showcasing the immaculate interior of your newly cleaned ducts.

Knowing When it’s Time to Call the Professionals

Professional air duct cleaning is important for various reasons. Our NADCA-certified technicians who have experience with HVAC and air duct cleaning understand the process and are committed to ensuring your home is clean and safe. They have knowledge of how to use specialized equipment that is more powerful than the average vacuum and can deep clean the inside of your air ducts more easily without the same risk of disturbing the functioning of your HVAC system.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) was established in 1989 as a nonprofit association of HVAC cleaning companies to promote high standards across the industry. With NADCA-certified technicians, we’re able to provide top-quality services and be the go-to resource for air duct cleaning and HVAC inspection, cleaning, and restoration.

If you’ve noticed your home’s HVAC system has been decreasing in performance, or worse, even spotted mold, you should contact a professional immediately. They can help guide you on the remediation process when necessary and give you tips for reducing dust and other issues moving forward. Having your air ducts and vents cleaned regularly by a professional will not only provide your home with cleaner air but will reduce problems and accumulation between cleanings.
