What we work on
We look first, then tell you what will actually help. Sometimes that’s just a better filter.
Duct cleaning
When there’s a real reason to clean them, not on a sales schedule.
- Visible dust or debris blowing from vents
- After renovations or pest problems
- Mold or moisture in the ductwork
Indoor air quality checks
A look at what’s actually going on with the air in your house.
- Filters, returns and duct leaks
- Humidity and musty smells
- Rooms that never feel comfortable
Seasonal maintenance
A spring AC check and a fall furnace check keep small problems small.
- Cleaning and inspection
- Safety and electrical checks
- Filter replacement if you'd like
Your ducts may not need cleaning.
The EPA recommends duct cleaning when there’s visible mold, pests or enough debris that it’s coming out of the vents, not on a fixed schedule. We’ll look and tell you which camp you’re in.

Before you call us
Start here. A clean, well-fitted filter fixes more air problems than anything else. Because Honestly. We’d rather tell you that than charge you for a visit.
Smell gas?
Don’t troubleshoot. Leave the house, then call 911 or your gas company from outside. Call us once you’re safe.
The house gets dusty fast or feels stuffy
Can wait. Start with the filter.
Try this first
- Replace the air filter. Most need changing every 1 to 3 months, more often with pets.
- Make sure the filter fits its slot snugly, with no gaps around the edges.
If the dust keeps coming back, leaky return ducts may be pulling in attic or crawlspace air. We can test for that.
There's a musty smell from the vents
Call this week. Moisture problems spread.
Try this first
- Check the pan under the indoor unit for standing water.
- Replace the air filter.
What it usually is: moisture in the drain pan or ductwork, which can grow mold.
Some rooms are always too hot or too cold
Can wait. Book a visit when it suits you.
Try this first
- The vents in those rooms are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.
- Return grilles aren't covered.
- The air filter is clean.
What it usually is: leaky or undersized ductwork. We measure the airflow and show you what’s wrong before suggesting anything.
Common questions
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
Not on a fixed schedule. The EPA recommends cleaning when there’s visible mold, a pest problem, or enough dust and debris that it’s blowing out of the vents. We’ll look first and tell you whether yours actually need it.
What happens during a maintenance visit?
We inspect and clean the system, check electrical connections and safety controls, look for wear before it turns into a breakdown, and replace the filter if you’d like. Then we tell you, in plain language, what we found.
What does an air quality check involve?
We look at your filter, ductwork, humidity and how air moves through the house, then tell you what would actually make a difference, from the simplest fix up.
How do you price the work?
We look first, then give you one price before any work starts. That price doesn’t change if the job takes longer than expected.
